Main Points Raised

  • One participant, Robin, inquires about the possibility of a friend in the UK ordering from a US host's show and how shipping is calculated.
  • Another participant mentions that shipping to the UK is only possible if the friend has an APO address, otherwise it may violate customs regulations.
  • One user suggests that the order could be shipped to the host in the US, who could then forward it to the friend in the UK, but emphasizes that direct shipping from the home office is not allowed without an APO address.
  • Another participant shares a similar experience where a host had to personally ship items to a friend in France due to the lack of an APO address.
  • One participant notes that Pampered Chef operates differently in various countries, including Canada, Germany, and England, and emphasizes that they cannot sell directly to customers outside the US except for military bases.
  • Belinda, identifying as a consultant in England, offers to assist the guest in England and advises checking the UK website for product availability, as some products differ between the US and UK.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

I have a host here in the US with a friend in the UK who wants to order for Host's show.

1. Can I do this?
2. How is shipping calculated? Weight, value, ???

Thanks.

Robin
 
Only if the friend has an APO (military affiliated) address. Otherwise, I believe it would be a customs violation.
 
You might be able to have it shipped to the host and then have her ship it to a friend but unless it is an APO you can't ship it from HO direct

Thanks!for all the info.

I had the same thing happen, the host had a freind in France so she had to personally ship it to her since there was no APO addy.
 
Right. We cannot sell to people in other countries, including Canada. Canada, Germany and England have The Pampered Chef but they are different companies than the US division (the same PC just run from different offices). We are not in other countries at all (except on our bases).

I have a friend in France and she has bought a few things when attending parties here in the US but she cannot have a show or purchase and have it shipped from PC to her home in France.
 
If the guest in England wants to make contact with me (a consultant in England) I'd be happy to help them out. However, some of the products you guys have in the States are different from ours so it would be advisable to check the UK website or mine first to see if the product/s they wanted were available here.
