Mine now says estimated delivery June 1st. That stinks since I'll be on a plane at 6:30 in the morning on June 1st and not home for a week. According to CC is shipped on the 23rd but FedEx says it shipped on the 26th. Hmmmmmmm............Hoping it will show up on Tuesday so I cansee it before I leave.
 
Mine says invalid. I have the number thingy then 01 after it on fedex.com. So does that mean it hasn't shipped yet? I came home to a package on my porch but it was something my husband ordered and was delivered by fed home so I am guess I am out for today. Maybe tomorrow? I think it is a great gift. I was bummed when the mother's day tote was just the tote and not the prep bowls but super excited that this includes the dishes.

The date on CC I don't believe is the ship date. Mine says the 12th...which is the day I earned it. So the date on CC I believe is the date it went into PC's system...and the day you officially earned it. If you look - the dates for shows on that list are not the day it shipped, but the day it was submitted.

Regift, sell, use as an incentive, donate... The usual things to do with extra products. I haven't been using my earlier sets but now maybe I will break them out for dinner on the back deck or when people come over for cook-outs now that I have 12 place settings.

Oh I know, for now it will go in the box of other products that I have in my office until I figure out what to do with them!
 
If you haven't earned one yet...GET A MOVE ON!!!

I took mine to Costco today for my cold things since I had more running around to do. Got so many, "OMG, that basket is so cute(s)" and even walked out of there with a booking!!

The basket is too adorable and easy to earn. Don't let this awesome marketing tool slip through your fingers!!
 
Got mine today, love it! Cant wait to show it off this weekend Camping!!
 
Got mine today, good idea taking it to the store for cold things chefkearns!

I'm looking for the "like" button!


Great idea - didn't think to take it to Costco! But I am planning on using it at the Farmers Market!
 
I sooo want this! I wish that my May hadn't been so nuts with kids events and computer issues! I set in motion a HWC fundraiser a couple weeks ago with no bites. I'm trying to get enough to count as a show to be my 2nd for May. Crossing fingers! It's hard because I'm also hosting a 31 party tomorrow, so I'm hesitant to bombard my friends and family. :blushing: We'll see how it goes! Hopefully this weekend I can drum up some orders.
 
Use your HWC pink samples to serve your food with and simple mention you still have a show open if anyone would like to get the piece and support HWC. Then, when you get your insulated basket, invite them for a picnic and use what you got!

So what does this basket look like??

Here are two pictures I took of mine. Note thesecond one has the DCB in it. There's room next to it to put something else and lots of room on top of it.

Does the tote say how much weight it can hold? I just worry about using it for the DCB in case the material pulls away from the stitching.

Ditto that would be a worry of mine too.
 
Well, at Costco I had the package of 2 Gallon sized milks and some cheese in it. It held up just fine. I wasn't walking a mile with it though, but it did great.

It was our NED that recommended using it for the DCB so I think it will be fine. Use it while it's under warranty. ;)
 
I got mine today... I have it sitting out for the hubby to see when he gets home... I was shopping today at a few different stores and these little picnic basket tote looking things seem to be really popular this summer season... but NONE of them are as cute as ours!
 
My hubby saw it and said I should give it to our son for his graduation present. Umm, I don't think so!

Graduation ceremony just ended a while ago. It was really nice. I only cried once. Well, ok, maybe I teared up more than once but I only got the big crocodile tears running down my face once. How's that? Much better than I expected! They are going to have to sedate me when he heads to college!
 
Cool and serve and some other small things fit just awesome in there too. :D Just a thought....
 
I got mine yesterday and I LOVE it!!! :) I had made a pan of rhubarb crunch in my 9x13 rectangular baker to take to my parent's for the weekend... it fit in the bottom of the basket perfectly and kept it nice and chilly on the hour drive. Can't wait to load it up and take it to the parade and show it off on Monday!
 
I submitted mh 2nd show 5/5 and just received mine yesterday --perhaps they go a bit alphabetically (last name starts with a z). It is very nice!

Just got mine yesterday too but I'm a J. They just sent them out this week so maybe something happened with the supplier that provided them.
 
Just got mine!!! The FedEx guy gave me a crazy look! I heard the truck so I RAN to the door and flung it open, all like 'Gimme gimme gimme mine mine mine thanks yayyyyy!'
 
I just joined PC last month. I was so excited to see this awesome deal for just submitting 2 shows. Can't wait till mine gets here. Little upset that it said 'will mail as earned' and that's not the case but still a great deal.
 
Can you imagine having all those HUGE boxes ready to ship? Can you imagine the look on the Fedex guys' face when he saw them? LOL!
 
Mine came today. I submitted my second show on the 23nd and last name is A. We are usually really fast. The show that I submitted on the 23rd arrived to the host yesterday. So I don't know if there is real way to figure out why some people got them days ago and some haven't gotten them yet. But I LOVE IT! I also have to say that I am not a huge fan of reusing plastic silverware but this stuff is so cute and it clips together. Loving it and the dishes. The glasses are nice but I kind of wish they stacked just a little bit better. They stack but they could nest a little more. Honestly through this is a great reward and makes me super motivated to go to my show tomorrow and sell sell sell. Heck maybe my enthusiasm will get a recruit?
 
I want one but will not be earning one this month, my second show switched to June (which is ok for the sell-a-thon) so if anyone out there for whatever reason does not want theirs, I would love to buy it!

You could get on the phone - dialing for dollars. Promote the May only items - HWC and Grillin' apron. Then if you still don't get enough orders do some shopping for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, etc. You'd be buying those gifts anyway so why not do it when you need it. Anyone with one show in or about in should do this or collect two $150 shows. You still have more than 3 days.
 
Yeah! Got mine today!! I saw the FedEx truck pull up and I was still in my pjs so I pushed my husband out the door to get it. We were getting ready to have a birthday party BBQ for my 1 year old son so I washed the dishes real quick to use them. It is so, so super cute, adorable. I was giddy showing it off to everyone at the BBQ. Must agree with everyone on here; you simply must do anything and everything you can to get it. It is definitely worth it!! I LOVE PC!!

Btw, I submitted my 2nd show on the 17th and last name is Ramer, for those trying to figure out how they're sending them.
