Friday? Oh, exciting! I thought for sure I'd get my changeover stuff first - but alas, us lowly consultants get ours last...guess I'd better work my way up!
 
Mine sell a thon stuff is to be delivered tomorrow. I just earned level 1 but am eagerly waiting for it. Did show today then changed to tomorrow.

How do you search for that again?? I can't remember how to track that package.
 
Never mind. I remembered how to do it and found it on the fed ex website. It shows it is expected to be delivered Thursday (and it shipped Tuesday)!!! YEAH!!!

There wasn't anything listed under 2008 if I go under product adjustments yet.
 
how do you check on the fed ex website???
 
SA-WEET! Pgk C is really looking good to me! It's got a sheet pan, the protectors and the micro scraper. Those are the things I wanted most!

I am salivating over Package A....so much for under $200! I also just received my "book 2 shows in November" award. The bar board is so cute!

Suggestion for people torn among packages - keep what you want and give the rest as booking rewards or place them out on the Marketplace. There are many "newbies" like me who did not have much opportunity to earn during November for the sell-a-thon

I signed in November over a year ago, my director didn't even mention it to me. I don't care that she didn't tell me but it was really nice to be able to purchase what I needed at 50% off.

In CC, go to Product Adjustment page. Click on Don't Know Show Number when it comes up. It won't show up with a host name, just your consultant number followed by a letter and then 4 numbers. Take this to FedEx.com, go to REFERENCE number. Put the number you pulled from Adjustment page in there with 01 at the end. Fill out all the other info and it should be there.
 
thanks, found it! how fun! now if I could just figure out what my SAT number was!!
 
If you try several numbers in each direction (for the part after the G and before the 01), you can sometimes find things that have data transmitted to FedEx from HO but aren't on the adjustment screen yet.
 
My SAT is "on the truck for delivery" TODAY! YAHOO! And my CO is scheduled for delivery Friday, guess they mean literally by the 25th, ha!
 
I just got my SAT this morning. :)
I guess it is the Changeover that is due to arrive Friday also. It said 10 lbs, but no description. Since that is supposed to be delivered on the 25th I'm guessing that is what it is. I saw the new stuff at my meeting last night. I twas all so bright and cheery.
 
darn, I tried 10 numbers front and back - nothin! I guess I'll just wait :(
 
Are the colanders and bowls not nice??? I was going to order them, but if they aren't nice I would rather get something else.
 
They're just different. They're made of a slicker plastic than the current ones, and they've been redesigned so that each colander fits inside a bowl (in case you need to reserve liquid when draining). The lids also come as part of the set instead of as a separate purchase. Some people in the product room at Leadership thought they were flimsier than the old ones, but I didn't find them to be significantly so.

I like the new ones better than the old ones, they serve their purpose!
 
I have 2 sets of the old ones and I love them. My only complaint is that they take up so much cabinet space...which is expected with their size. If I like the new ones as much as the old ones, my daughter and son will be getting the old ones for their "college/wedding" boxes...I would say "Hope Chest" but don't think my son would appreciate that...LOL Off topic I have been thinking about ordering the 10' Saute Pan for them too. I have plenty of cookware for myself and I prefer the 12" Skillets.

Me and you are thinking a like b/c your smileys are the open stock I want!
 
Those would be the items I want on open stock too! Except the 10" saute pan looks very appealing at that price and for an extra $2.75, the nylon knife would be good too as an incentive. In fact all the open stock items look more appealing than the packages!
 
I am still hoping that they will eventually offer all products as open stock and let us choose the ones we actually want/need...especially since we get so many restyled products.

of course the only one I need is the last one and it's the most expensive, go figure!:rolleyes: I also want some open stock too!
 
I think I want "C." It has the most products I would actually use in my kitchen and I try to stick to getting stuff I will use myself too.
 
I saw my CO on the adjustment screen so typed it into FEDEX and it just shows data transmitted and 10lbs but not shipped yet. I thought we weren't suppose to get that until the 29th but all SAT was by the 25th.
 
I am going to get "D" and some open stock items, I really want the 10" saute pan, but am going to hold off on it for now. I earned B & C and so with D and a few of the open stock I should have a good assortment. I have so PC $ that I've been saving to buy this stuff with!!
I have a question one of my directors said that if you submitted two shows and earned the products for that and then submitted 1500 you would earn the items twice ( the scraper, rub and bar board) but when I read the info on CC it seems to me that it means if you didn't submit 2 shows you wouldn't get these in the 1500 one. Am I making sense??? I guess my question is, should I be getting two of the scraper, rub and bar boards??:confused:
 
You won't get two of those items. The 1500 level of SAT included those products in the value.

Submit two shows products are only earned once. If you did submit 2 shows & earned another level of the SAT, then they're included. If you earned one of the $$ amount SAT levels, but only had one show, you wouldn't receive the submit 2 shows products. Clear as mud?
 
no, you only earn 1 of each item. But you can buy another one. As each level of product value increases it will include the lower levels...level 1 is included in level 2, level 1 and 2 included in level 3, etc.
 
Thank you for clearing that up!!! I didn't think I would get two sets, but she kept saying I would, so I kept reading it over and over and thinking, I don't think so!!! So, THANKS!!!
 
How long will we have to order sample packages???
 
Probably until the end of March. It's usually the end of the first month of the selling season. There are special rules for brand new consultants who sign after the samples are become available. They have until the end of their 6th week.
