SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the return policy of Pampered Chef regarding defective products, specifically the Professional 4qt casserole and a 3 qt saucepan from the Exec set. Users report receiving replacements for warped or scratched items without needing to return the damaged products. This raises questions about the company's financial implications and the randomness of their return decision-making process.

I just did a small catalog show for January and my Mom got the Professional 4qt casserole. When it arrived (I had the show shipped to me so I could sort it for her) the casserole was warped -more oval than round and the cover didn't fit. I did an adjustment but the only thing I could check that seemed to fit was "damaged".

I got an e-mail saying no return required, and that they will be sending a new one right out. I would think that on the more expensive pieces PC would want them back, and while it may be quite rare, should they have an adjustment for what seems to be a manufacturer defect?

I would think PC loses a lot of money by having these products discarded.:confused:
 
The "computer" decides which items are not required to be returned. It's all a random thing.
 
Yep, it's weird.

When I got my 7 pc Exec set through Pan O Rama last year, the 3 qt sauce pan was scratched. I did an adjustment for a new one and they said to keep the damaged one! I couldn't believe it.
