I just received two separate orders. One had one cheese board and squares, and the other had two sets (previous host ordered too). Well, not a one came with the squares!!! I got three cheese boards and no squares!! Anyone else have this happen?
 
They will come in their separate boxes-so I'm assuming you meant that you didn't get any petite square boxes? Hmmm--someone goofed! I'd do a product adjustment. My hosts haven't told me this happened to them & the one that came to my mystery open house host came fine.
 
I got both cheese board and squares. That stinks! Did they need it for the holidays?? If so, call HO.
They are really messing up with the orders, I received my order with someone elses packing slip from a different state...

Nope, no squares at all. I had figured that they would be boxed sep, but they weren't in there at all!! I know for sure that two of them are in no rush, but not sure about the third. This lady does catering and is one of my biggest customers.
 
That's a relief that she is in no rush to get them. I would just go online and do an adjustment. I do it all the time; it is so much easier than calling HO.
