Who May Find This Useful

Consultants who are navigating the changes in bag designs and those interested in the experiences of others regarding show deliveries may find this discussion relevant.

I didn't call HO after I received my slit bags last week, but after reading all of these posts I decided to add my experience to the list and called them. I spoke with a very nice person who seemed to have been aware of this problem. I told her that I had an "inspected by...." slip in the box, but she said that was only to verify the product contents - not bags or paperwork. (I also let her know that I had received part of someone else's paperwork.)

She is sending me bags to replace the ones that I had to use from my own stock. I asked her when the new bags were going to begin to be shipped with orders, she said that she had thought it was next month - June. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Maybe they have an overabundance of these old bags and are not shipping them as we thought this month.....

I encourage everyone who has ANY problems with their orders to call let them know. If we don't tell them, they can't fix it. That's what I almost did!
 
So no one has gotten new bags yet? I should call HO and see what is going on!
 
bagsLast two shows....... old bags.. YUCK!! I usually just rubberband their receipt to the small items instead of making it look ugly in that big ol' bag! I was totally excited to get those small bags since my host got a couple of drawer tools and here i come with that big bag!!

Well lets hope HO is working on the QC problem. I am new myself, and have have stones broken and missing pieces.

I am closing a show tomorrow, so lets hope it all comes in one piece, or have all the pieces!!
 
It's the middle of May! Did anyone get the new bags yet???

I have a show being delivered on Monday. Hope it's finally the new ones!
 
Just got an order today - no new bags.

Of course you wouldn't get enough...and isn't HO supposed to be more exact on the bags now that they can see how many orders there are?

Glad someone finally got them.
 
On another note, I have not received my May Consultant News magazine yet. It will be my first one, and I was really excited to get it. I have sent 2 emails to HO and both times said it will be sent in 2 business days. On the second email I mentioned the lack of reciept and they said it can take 10 business days to recieve. Is Snail Mail that slow?
 
Oh, and I forgot to ask, what does the new bag look like? I got white ones with the new logo on it with the order we got ealier this month. Is that the new one?

I got my boxes today and yep, I got the new bags too! There are two sizes and they are clear, with the new PC Chef Hat logo on one side and the words " The Pampered Chef" on the other side. These bags are nicer because they are more like tote bags (No handles, just a hole cut out in the center for carrying.):D
 
Exciting to know that my recent shows will get the new bags... the host will be so excited!
 
Wow, I thought it was just me.
I was short an All Purpose Spreader. I called HO, and they reshipped, well, I didn't recieve the APS, I recieved the Flour Shaker.
WHAT is going on at HO.
They also shipped my fundraiser to the bank where the fundraiser was handled through, in New Mexico!
I am in California????
I did get the new bags on both shipments, very nice, but no packing slips, just these green slip things.
Not very happy right now w/ PC

Chozen girl,
where abouts are you located in SO CAL?
I'm in La Mesa CA!
Nice to meet another local CSer!
 
What green slip things?
 
new bagsFINALLY got the new bags!! SUPER CUTE by the way! Love it for the ones that only order 2 tools.... scoop and paring knife!!
 
I got the new bags too on my last two shows last week. So if we're getting them in Canada everyone else should be getting them soon too! :)
 
I'm having problems with them sending enough bags...and i received a box the other day that was opened and retaped and things were mixing out of it....It's kind of odd....
 
Yes, new bags are very cute, but I was short one with my last order :(
Oh well, the host's mother only ordered one small thing, so I just stuck in with her stuff and told her it was there.

I'm just thankful that we don't have to buy our bags. With Mary Kay, you have to buy your own bags to keep on hand since you are supposed to carry ten billion dollars worth of inventory.
 
I have gotten the new bags as well with my most recent shows. There were just enough bags for the orders and I am thankful that we don't have to buy the bags either b/c I know The Body Shop has to ask you how many bags you need and they have to input it when they submit your order. I don't know if they have to actually purchase them though.;)

I am in Beaumont, 20 min West of Palm Springs. About 2 hours away from you. :rolleyes: Might have to go to The Container Store or IKEA soon :D
 
New bagsI'm in California and my show that got here last week I finally got the new bags. I love them because they have a large and a small. But like with everyone else they didn't seem to send enough...that was one thing I liked with the other bags is that there were always extra. Unless they were just doing that to finish them off to make room for the new ones.

I am still waiting to see the new bags, too.
I wonder if they're waiting til they run out of the old ones?
 
The order my host got today had the new bags. They're clear and nice-looking.

I received an order with shorted bags too! But I do like the new look!
