I better go check!
 
Cool! :):)
 
Did you notice they INCREASED the price of some things? I'm glad I finally ordered the mini-fluted when it was still $8.25! And I got the trivet at $2.25 (I think) instead of $4.25! :)
 
Reapeating to self: I will not spend money, I will not spend money.......:chef:
 
Why did they increase? I had a customer wanting to order some but now she might be pretty upset to learn that the prices have increased. Not quite sure what to tell her. :(
God bless,
Amanda
 
I'm glad I ordered the table runner and mini fluted pan when it was cheaper.
 
My guess is that the increased prices are because certain items started selling more than they expected! Still a good deal though (especially the mini-fluted:) love it, love it, love it!).

I ordered extra's of the mini fluted to give away at shows! They were $8.25 just yesterday!!! boo!
 
OF COURSE THERE IS NOW STUFF IN THE OUTLET BECAUSE I JUST SENT OUT AN EMAIL TO ALL OF MY CONTACTS...AND DID NOT ANNOUNCE NEW THINGS IN THE OUTLET - ARGH!!!!!
(Yes, I am screaming)
 
Is the carving set discontinued? Or just the round platter and they are offering both? If it's discontinued, I have one I need to sale b/cI rarely every use it since I have the forged knives.

I know I should know this but I do not have a catalog right now where I can look it up.

Yes you can!!
 
Ok, I had 3 fluted mini pans in my bag at the $8.25 price from this morning. Now I go do errands and come back and it is more!! DO you think it will hold?
 
I don't think it's right to raise prices. They did it on the purple linens too. They were $24. Plus, the table runner says 75% off, which it is NOT now. Plus, the Mini fluted Pan is more than it was before, isn't it? I thought it was $11 awhile back. The Accessory Forks are even more! They were $1.75. That's really annoying. I worked on my email this morning, but had more pressing things to do. Now I have to check all of the prices and they'll probably change again.I LOVE the outlet, but they really need to get more professional with it!!
 
I was really hoping they were going to put the Gen II cookware back on. I had 4 customers that wanted them, but they were gone when their tax checks came in. ARGGG
 
arrrgggokay so i actually did my newsletter last night and posted prices and descriptions for the outlet items b/c there weren't that many items...and they do this to meeeee ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...oh well there is a disclaimer at the top of that section of my newsletter that says subject to availability and prices can change at anytime....hopefully that will save my behind...

See ChefMoseley? It's Murphy's Law - anytime you or I send out a newsletter, they change the outlet - LOL
 
I popped in there and was somewhat underwhelmed by what I saw ...

Me too; I've got a gal dying to get it for her mom. It was gone once before, & then back on....so maybe!
 
OK, so what am I doing wrong, here? I am trying to order some Outlet items, and when I click on "Add items to cart" it goes to my cart and tells me it is empty. But it must be registering something, because after trying to add something with a quantity of 3 several times, it tells me I cannot order more than 10. But even then when I go to my shopping cart, it tells me it is empty!! So is it me?? Maybe it is just a sign that I shouldn't spend money right now...I am ordering through CC - the samples and supplies section. Is that how all of you place orders? TIA.
 
Bumping...I guess I am the only one who has this problem...Also, for anyone interested, the carafe is on there now... It wasn't earlier.
 
OOOOHHH ... I saw that.

Is there any difference between that one and the one we have now, other than the color?
 
did you make sure to check the box on the left side and then enter the quantity on the right side before adding to the cart?

The carafe? The old one holds less. But otherwise, it's still a great product.
 
Yes, I did that... for some reason I had to go into the cart and then hit update cart, although I am fairly certain that I didn't have the option to update the cart when it was still empty. I guess perseverance pays off though.... I kept adding stuff until something went into the cart, and then I was able to place my order.I exhibited amazing self control by not adding a carafe or asian set to my order...
 
I have a question. Is the s/h less if we order through CC as a sample, than just as a regular outlet order? I've already done an April supply order, so I've used that $4, does it matter? I'm going to buy the patriotic set to donate to my son's school carnival basket (4th of July theme) and am not sure if I want the Commissionable sale or to be cheap on s/h!
 
The S/H is $4 when ordering through CC, as long as it's your first outlet sample order of the month. When you order through your PWS, then you'll pay the direct shipping price for each order, and that starts at $6.
 
Thanks Ann...I went and played with both scenerios last night after I left here and found that out. Now it's got me thinking that SINCE I'm ordering from the outlet and the shipping will ONLY be $4, maybe I NEED something else too! LOL! (Like I NEED a hole in my head!)
