Have you checked out the Pampered Chef Discontinued Products Outlet yet?

I do not want to burst your bubbles ladies and gents but the outlet was brought about because they could not sell all the discontined and slightly damaged to the employees that worked at the company for a very and VERY VERY EXTREMLY LOW PRICE THAT WOULD MAKE YOU MAD EXTREMLY LOW PRICE so that have made the outlet. Keep in mindthough that when Doris did that she was giving all proceeds to the Second Harvest which goes to the hungry and less fortunate so do not be too angry. I was one of them that was able to donate and still enjoy some of those products. I worked at the home office and now am a consultant. The outlet is a way that will allow many to get what they all want as we still want what we cannot have. I hope we all enjoy the Outlet and it is not abused so that it is not removed. This is also one more way that it will encourage our customers to visit our websites and also encourage us as consultants to update our sites so that it has new info from time to time. I take the web savvy class every month becuz I hear different info that keeps me abreast to the ever changing world of the Internet. I recommend you do the same. Have a great!

thanks for that note.

Swirl · Oct 1, 2006

I was thinking the outlet was to offset the Ebay selling. I know it won't have new stuff on it but will maybe encourage people to check it out before Ebay. I sent an email out about the outlet and I have had some great response to it already. My customers are as excited as me about viewing it, I can't wait till tomorrow to see how it's going to be. I hope it does really well.

Thanks for the info, but why would we be upset?

That's what I was wondering. I think some of my customers will be thrilled! Happy customers makes for a happy me!

AJPratt · Oct 1, 2006

I think its a great thing! Is there a silver lining?

gilliandanielle · Oct 1, 2006

Does anyone see their outlet yet?? I can't find mine and I don't know if our sites haven't been updated yet, or what???

heat123 · Oct 1, 2006

Wasn't it supposed to take effect 10-2-06? If so then they should be up tomorrow and I cannot wait to see what's on it!!!

gilliandanielle · Oct 1, 2006

Oh, I thought it was supposed to take effect today! Thanks Heather!

I new there was a reason I was hanging on to my website even though it never gets used

DITTO!! I totally agree with you there...

Swirl · Oct 2, 2006

Well it's 5:30 am here and no outlet. I thought for sure it would be up by now. I was so excited to see it this morning and then nothing. I hope there isn't a problem with it already.

PamperedChefDebi · Oct 2, 2006

It's 11:38 am here and I've already checked 4 times!!

Lynn Singleton · Oct 2, 2006

It is up. Really disappointing. There is only 14 items in the outlet, 7 of which are the stoneware crocks. I was really looking forward to this outlet. what a let down.

mrssyvo · Oct 2, 2006

How do I get it to show up on my web-site. Do I need to download it?

PamperedChefDebi · Oct 2, 2006

I don't see it either????

Swirl · Oct 2, 2006

I still don't see it. Is it under "Our Products"? Do you have to do anything to the website to get it on there?

I don't think that most who buy on ebay have access to the .biz websites so I don't think they will even see the outlet. I also think that those same consultants who sell the samples on ebay before the catalog is even out each season will buy up a bunch of the most asked for items and sell them too.

Ginger428 · Oct 2, 2006

First I went to CC...manage business...order samples...thats where they are listed. I copied down the order #s, ( curiosity)

. Went to my site...our products, typed in #s & they showed up, but with NO pics!!

kat29 · Oct 2, 2006

Okay I found it on CC but it isn't on my website yet?? Isn't there suppose to be a link that goes to the Outlet not us having to type in the numbers???

whiteyteresa · Oct 2, 2006

Where did you find it at on Consultant's Corner?

I don't see it

dannyzmom · Oct 2, 2006

But when will it show up on our websites for our customers to see/use????

pamperedlinda · Oct 2, 2006

Not as exciting as I had hoped it would be.

pampchefrhondab · Oct 2, 2006

Wow - what a dissapointment! I can't believe they don't have more items available!

dannyzmom · Oct 2, 2006

I am sure they'll bring more items in over the next few days. Right now it is only accessible for us - not customers.

I think it said they would be changing it often with new lists that we should check back atleast every 7 days or so. They probably don't want to put it all out there at once (and if we are lucky there should be a ton of stuff left to see).

supergirljennie · Oct 2, 2006

When is it supposed to go live then?

pamperedgirl3 · Oct 2, 2006

On the email it said starting October 2, you & your customers can get the products. But it's only 8:00 am in Chicago now, so maybe they are just now starting to add it. They probably added it to CC first for us. I noticed that the October CN is just now up too. The outlet will probably be available on our websites in an hour or so.

AJPratt · Oct 2, 2006

I'm surprised there isn't more... Although I do like some of the items that are up there!

SusanBP0129 · Oct 2, 2006

I cannot access it on the website or on CC. When I go to "samples", it only shows me New Fall and Mid-Season.

KimmyDarling · Oct 2, 2006

I expected a wider variety, but I'm glad to see what's there.

pamperedtracy · Oct 2, 2006

Wow!! A lot of Stoneware Crocks!!! Like people were saying, hopefully items will change often to keep customers coming back to your website to check it out.

I am still looking for it on my website. Still not there. Hopefully soon. When someone can bring it up, let us know.

You all rock!!! Everyone is so helpful!!!

I just went to check out my website and there were a couple of things on there that I hadn't noticed before. There was an Asian for two set with the black triangles, petite squares, chopsticks, and I think 2 medium squares. There was also a Chillzanne cooler, wine bottle opener and tongs. There were both about $60 and now I can't find them again. Hmm...

AJPratt · Oct 2, 2006

OK... There are two ways to see these... 1) Click on "New" and scroll down to the gift sets. Or 2) Click on "Gift Sets" and see if you notice anything familiar.

pamperedtracy · Oct 2, 2006

I am not seeing anything different. The gift sets are current. What did you mean?

SusanBP0129 · Oct 2, 2006

How do I find the gift sets?

AJPratt · Oct 2, 2006

This is what I have on mine:

supergirljennie · Oct 2, 2006

Those gift sets are neat... Do you think they'll be available as samples?

Does that mean perhaps that there will be more discontinued products not available as samples?

They aren't on the list now.

supergirljennie said:

Yes... seems to be.

pamperedtracy · Oct 2, 2006

I do see it on mine when I go to gift sets, but I wonder where the rest of the outlet stuff is.

Weekly Bites made it sound like it would be under "order products". So I was assuming you would see something worded for "Outlet" products.

Still looking. I guess we will all figure it out. But keep throwing out those helpful hints.

pamperedtracy · Oct 2, 2006

This is what I found in my weekly bites:

The Outlet will be available to customers through individual ordering via your Personal Web Sites, as a new category under “Our Products.”

soonerchef · Oct 2, 2006

You think PC has some crocks taking up too much space?? Sheesh, I am glad this will be chaning frequently!

supergirljennie · Oct 2, 2006

It's live now.

Debala715 · Oct 2, 2006

The "Outlet" just showed up on my website within the past 10 minutes.

etteluap70PC · Oct 2, 2006

at CC It's under sample orders.

When our websites first came out there were lots of bugs and problems because too many people were getting on at the same time. I'm sure it will all be working soon. Maybee on our sites after 12 noon like comission checks usually are. Let's be patient. Pampered Chef has offered us yet another great tool. Let's not get down on it too quickly!!!!

kat29 · Oct 2, 2006

well just checked mine and didn't see it yet. hopefully soon. is it an actual link that says OUTLET under out products?

supergirljennie · Oct 2, 2006

Anybody know if there's any difference between the current My Safe Cutters, and the Halloween Safe Cutters listed in the outlet? Thanks.
