Has Anybody Received Their Turkeys?

[Intrepid_Chef]

Either as a host or guest? If so, how long did it take to arrive?

I have a host who is VERY WORRIED the turkey won't arrive in time for Thanksgiving. He scheduled the show JUST for the turkey and then moved it back a week but still closed within the weekend to get it. He wants to shop for it on Monday to do give time for thawing.

He is a friend of mine and since my OTHER host had a party that was submitted Friday morning, I'm suspecting my free turkey for doing that show will come before his. So when mine arrives, my friend can have it and we'll just switch out. For that matter, my OTHER host says that she'd be willing to lend him her turkey because she goes out of state for Thanksgiving and doesn't need it til Christmas.

Hers was shipped Saturday and his was shipped Tuesday so I'm sure they will both be fine. But I am concerned that even though this was a great promotion, it could backfire because Butterball isn't as efficient in its shipping as Pampered Chef is!

I submitted a show 11/8 and have not received my gift certificate yet, I haven't checked with the host to see if she has or not.

 

[pamperedlinda]

I have not received mine. I know that the host of my first Nov. show has received hers (last week shwe got it!), so I would have thought mine would be here too. I was hoping to go shopping for my turkeys today or tomorrow too.

I submitted my 1st 2 shows on Nov 5th.

It is supposed to be a gift certificate for $15 off butterball. I have not received my certificate yet and neither has my host.

Linda, do you know what type of envelope it came in?

Someone mentioned in another thread that it was a plain, white envelope, with PC's address on the back.

yes, that's pretty much what it looked like. I want to say that the Butterball Logo was on it too, but I'm not sure.

In the PC News Wire that I read today it said that they started sending them out this week and everyone that submitted their show on or before the 15th will have their's before Thanksgiving.

Thanks, I just read read the PC newswire...it doens't guarantee thanksgiving, just the 'holidays' ...:
NOTE: Butterball® Gift Checks for Consultants began shipping this week. So, if you earned one, you'll receive it in plenty of time for the holidays!

So may not arrive in time to buy and thaw for Thanksgiving, but definately for Christmas. I hope in time for Thanksgiving, I'm not hosting Christmas this year.

Around here, you can also purchase Butterball Fresh Turkeys that aren't frozen....maybe that would be an option?

we can too, they are more expensive though.

If you only knew how much I'm paying for my turkey...


It's being butchered on Monday, I'll pick it up on Tuesday to brine for Thursday. It's been pastured and feed organically since it was hatched. I will however also use every single part of the turkey, and definitely get my money's worth. I'm planning on about 12-16 pints of bone broth after Thanksgiving!

When I did an adjustment for the turkey I forgot on an order, I got it a week later. Unmarked white envelope with PC address on the back.

I bet it will be delicious!

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

Yeah, I don't do turkey for Christmas. Family tradition is ham and roast beef for sandwiches which is great on the go! There's a chance I could be working that day which would be fine with me!So it sounds like a full week ... which means mine will hopefully arrive by Friday and my friend's ... I hope by Tuesday but he wants it Monday. so if mind comes Friday he can have it!

The turkey certificate came in a plain grey envelope. No return address was on the front, and it had a weird looking postage stamp. My name and address was typed in all caps. It really, really looked like junk mail. Fortunately I didn't throw it out right away, because later that day I read on CS that the "junk mail" was really a certificate. I wonder how many people threw them away by accident?

 

[pchockeymom]

YES! They totally look like junk mail. I received two on the same day which is why I paid more attention to the envelops. I was getting ready to throw them away when I noticed the PC address on the back of one of the envelops! I've been warning my hosts to beware of it.

 

[pampered1224]

Thanks for that info as I do get a ton of junk mail and probably would have set it aside as well. I do not need mine for Thanksgiving but my host sure does! I will call her tonight as they said the last of them would be mailed out yesterday I think.

 

[flemings99]

Got mine today.

 

[cookingwithlove]

The envelope definitely looks like junk mail. It is not PC Stationary and they are using a presort stamp. I almost threw it out, but my host shipped her stuff to me and her turkey certificate came to me too. It had her name on it then C/O me. So I took a second look. My certificate came a day later.

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

I'm wondering how long they take from the date the show was submitted.

 

[pampered1224]

Dad calls me tonight because I called my mom looking for my birth certificate. He is looking through the mail and syas hum over the phone. I asked what? He says I have an envelope hear that looks really funny. No return address and big bold letters on it addressed to your mom, bet its garbage. I said OMG! Look at the back. Sure enough, it was her turkey in a plain white envelope! I am so glad I was on the phone with him or he may have tossed it - that is what dad does after all! He threw away a $20 rebate check because he thought it fell out of the ads and was one of those mail in thingys for insurance! Was my mom POd! Especially since it DID have her name on it! He got reamed for that and was told to NEVER throw away mail before mom looks at it. Luckily for him, she found it in the garbage can out side. Middle of February digging through garbage. He will never live that one down!

Wendy, when did you get yours? I submitted my first show on the 3rd and still don't have mine. Host from show submitted on the 9th got hers today so the hosts are getting theirs in about 7-9 days it seems. But where's mine?!?

 

[pampered1224]

Not so sure on that as I submitted mom's show Tuesday and she has hers already. I do not have mine but... I am not feeding people with it so...

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

I submitted my 1st show last Friday and the second last Monday ... ALL THREE turkey checks (mine, and those of my 2 hosts) came TODAY. Thank you God ... I was worried about my friend's turkey way more than mine!

[wadesgirl]

I got one of mine but not the other this weekend. Should be getting two - one as a consultant, one as a host.

 

[raebates]

Wadesgirl, my host one came a couple of days after my consultant one.

 

[pattybrady]

Hmm...I submitted mine first show on the 8th and still have not received mine (as consultant). I'm expecting a house full of people and the only night left that I can shop is tonight so fingers crossed it comes today! Glad they are doing this promo but wish they had shipped as earned....

They didn't ship them out until last week so depending on where you live from the processing plant that mailed them it may be a couple days still.
