I have suggested this a couple times but most people are VERY wary of giving anyone a blank check. I don't think I would do it either.chefkristin said:I always get a signed check from my hosts at their show before I leave. I then tell them I will call them with a total so they know what to write in their checkbook. This way I don't have to worry about getting paid later. Either that or you can ask for a credit card or debit card#. Good Luck!
mandak said:I am wondering how you are able to call ups and have a package delievered at a different address insted of the intended address? I can understand why you would want to have that done but how does UPS know that you aren't just some person tyring to get other people's packages?
I couldn't even get the UPS man to deliver a package to me 3 blocks away when I moved! They sent it back to the sender and he had to resend it to my new address.
If your host hasn't sent the check yet, it's best to reach out to them directly. Politely ask if they have had a chance to send it and if they need any assistance with the process. Sometimes, life gets busy, and a gentle reminder can help.
It's generally a good idea to wait about a week after the event before following up. This gives your host some time to gather the funds and send the check. If it's been longer than that, a friendly reminder is appropriate.
If your host insists that they sent the check, ask them to confirm the date and method of sending. It might be helpful to check if they used a tracking service or if they can provide any proof of mailing. If the check is lost in the mail, you may need to discuss alternative payment methods.
Yes, you can still host a party even if your current host is unresponsive. Consider reaching out to another potential host or rescheduling with the original host after giving them some time to respond. Communication is key, so try to keep the lines open.
If the host refuses to pay, review your agreement with them and any communication regarding the payment. You may need to have a direct conversation to resolve the issue. If it escalates, consider discussing the situation with your upline or Pampered Chef support for guidance on how to proceed.
