...a customer wants to cancel an order.

I JUST submitted a show on P3. When inputting the host order, she was about $13 away from the $700 level (extra $25, another half-priced item), so we took two of her items and added them to a friends order to get her to the extra benefit. We got there by $0.95. :thumbup:

One of the orders on the show was through a friend of mine at work. She had dropped it off with my husband who had called me with the details and was going to bring the order form home tonight. Now the person ordering has come back and said that she can't afford the order, and wants to cancel. :thumbdown:

If I call HO and have them cancel that one order, will that affect the Hosts benefits and how much she has to pay? :confused: I know that when a customer returns something once the show has shipped, it does not, but I'm not sure in this case. I'd hate for her to have to pay more because of something she had ABSOLUTELY no control over. And I'd rather cancel the order now, than call for a return when the show arrives and be out the shipping for the order. Not that it's a huge amount, but $4.25 is $4.25. Plus I'll be traveling for the next 4 weeks, so I don't even know how I'd do it...
 
I doubt they will cancel the order. They will probably advise you to send it back for a refund. HO Policy is they will not change a show once submitted.

I thought so too, but the back of the order form has the notice of cancellation, and to me "cancel" is different than "return." If I cancel my order, I'd expect not to receive product, and not have to pay shipping...
 
I believe in the first 30 days, HO covers cost of shipping back. I am sure HO can confirm.

I know they'll give a reference number for FedEx to pick up, but will they refund the shipping charge on the original order?

Never hurts to ask.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I cancel an order on a submitted show?

If you cancel an order on a submitted show, the total sales for that show will decrease, which may impact the host's overall benefits. The host may receive fewer rewards or discounts based on the updated sales total.

Will canceling an order affect the host's free products?

Yes, canceling an order can affect the host's free products. The amount of free product value is typically calculated based on the total sales of the show. If the total decreases due to a canceled order, the host may receive less free product value.

Can the host still receive host rewards if an order is canceled?

Yes, the host can still receive host rewards, but the value of those rewards may be reduced if the total sales drop significantly due to the canceled order. It's important to communicate any changes to the host so they understand the impact.

Is there a deadline for canceling an order on a submitted show?

Yes, there is usually a deadline for canceling an order, which may vary based on the policies of Pampered Chef. It's essential to check with your consultant or refer to the company's guidelines to ensure you cancel within the allowable timeframe.

How can I minimize the impact of canceling an order on the host's benefits?

To minimize the impact, consider discussing the situation with the host beforehand. If possible, try to replace the canceled order with another order to maintain the total sales. Additionally, encourage guests to place their orders promptly to avoid last-minute cancellations.
