A catalog host for Nov received her show Friday and just emailed me that a loaf pan wasn't received. She checked our emails back and forth and noticed that the last email she sent me with the last order had a loaf pan listed (no name just product number) along with many other things and when I emailed her back to confirm I excluded it. Neither one of us noticed at the time but oops, now that it's been sent in and received, now she does! She wanted to know if it could still be ordered - of course it can! and if it can still be at 20% off - ummmm, I don't know!

So can I now submit another order for just a loaf pan at 20% off even though it's the 14th and it was a Nov special? I know the deadline for shows is Dec 1th but what about orders? I told her I'd find out asap and that I'd pay the full direct shipping of 8 something since it was I who missed it in the list for the customer. I really don't want to eat the 20% off as well though.

i know doing this for 4 years I should know this, and I 'think' I do but I'm nervous I'll make a silly mistake. Anyone know for sure? Thanks!
 
If Canadian rules are the same as US, you have until Dec 15th to submit a November order. Check the guest special rules to make sure that you can use the pricing as an individual order.
 
Hi Jodi--

I believe you can enter a personal order and back date it for November. You would just need to get it submitted by tomorrow night.

By the way, did you ever get the headphones that your husband found on ebay?

Do you have any November orders to close out? if so add hers as an "outside order"

The deadline of 3rd of the month is for commission checks - you missed that deadline.

Guest specials do not apply to Individual orders anyways

The Stoneware sale included Individual Orders - different than other guest specials.

Hmmm, well it's accepting the guest special number for the individual order that I dated Nov 30th. Why would that be if it's not applicable? I thought it was only when the special was offering something free that it wasn't applicable to individual orders...

I don't have any other Nov orders or shows to close out. I made sure to get them all in, hers included, before midnight on the 30th. This before they extended the deadline. ;)

As for the commission deadline, no big deal there. I got my $3600 in by the 30th and this $22 order wouldn't have made a difference thank goodness! Could you imagine if it would have been the difference between SAT or not :eek: It's just that it's costing me 8.76 in shipping and the commission is only 22% this month (two small shows totalling just under $700 this month means first commission level) so commission is about $4.80. I'll be out about $4 but don't want to be out of pocket more than that.

Karen,

Personal order or individual order?

As for the headphones, yes I received them a few weeks ago thanks to ChefAnn. Thanks for the offer of help though! There are so many wonderful ladies on here and that's why I love my Cheffers! :love::D

This varies month to month, check the small writing on ALL guest/host special flyers for the correct information.

Great, get it submitted before tomorrow and you are good to go!

So why on earth would they accept an individual order from the previous month all the way up to the 15th of the next month? I understand shows with problems getting them closed for multiple reasons but an individual order? If it is the case as mentioned, and I'm going to try it and see, I'm thrilled and appreciative but I don't understand WHY they WOULD allow it. Thank goodness though if they do!
 
Sometimes individual orders come in with checks, and we should wait for the check to clear before submitting. That's my theory. And, it would be a pain to add extra programming to PP/P3 to allow shows to be submitted into the next month, but not individual orders.
 
Also, some people try to do catalog shows that just aren't big enough to qualify. Then, it becomes an individual order....
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the deadline for placing individual orders with Pampered Chef?

The deadline for placing individual orders typically varies depending on the specific party or event. It's important to check with your consultant for the exact date, as it can change based on promotions or special events.

How can I find out if I missed the deadline for my order?

If you're unsure whether you've missed the deadline, reach out to your Pampered Chef consultant directly. They can provide you with the most accurate information regarding your order status and any potential options.

Can I still place an order after the deadline has passed?

What happens if I place an order after the deadline?

If you place an order after the deadline, it may not be processed as part of the current party. Your order will likely be treated as a separate transaction, and you may miss out on any party-specific discounts or promotions.

Extensions on order deadlines are typically at the discretion of the consultant or host. If you have a special circumstance, it's best to communicate with your consultant to see if they can accommodate your request.
