I need some clarification & I know someone here can help! I recently had to sell my home computer, so any shows that I submit from this point forward must be via mail. I hope it is as simple as I'm thinking, but I want to be sure I do it right. Do I take the HO copy of everyone's receipt & send them in with a check written by me for the entire show total? Is it necessary to overnight them, or is it okay to send by regular mail if I'm not trying to meet the end-of-month deadline? Any info/feedback is appreciated. :)

Thanks!
 
You will have to supply your debit card info or pay with money order. PC will not take a personal check.

Check under policies & procedures in your manual for more accurate info.

Oh, I thought they would take a personal check from a consultant?? I reviewed the policies & procedures already, but I wanted to be sure I was understanding it correctly. Thanks!
 
Show Order Form — Use this form to list the host and
guest orders, shipping and payment information, and
Show type and date.* Use the attached worksheet to
tally the guests’ orders and include it with the Show Order
Form when submitting an order on paper forms. See the
instructions included on the back of the form

Via First-Class U.S. Mail
Orders must be mailed to: The Pampered Chef, Ltd.
Attn: Solution Center
One Pampered Chef Lane
Addison, IL 60101-5630

Via Federal Express®
If you need to guarantee a month-end receipt date of an
order, you must use Federal Express’s Priority
Overnight service for delivery to:
The Pampered Chef, Ltd.
Attn: Solution Center
One Pampered Chef Lane
Addison, IL 60101-5630
The order must be sent at least two business days before
month-end.

(I was wrong about the personal check.)
Consultant Check or Money Order
• Made payable to The Pampered Chef®.
• Write your Consultant number and Show number in the
memo section of your check.
• Only checks written by a Consultant will be accepted.
(The Consultant’s name must be listed on the upper-left
corner of the check. However, temporary checks will be
accepted from new Consultants for one month following
the Consultant’s agreement date.)
• When you provide a check as payment, you authorize
us to either use information from your check to make a
one-time electronic funds transfer from your account, or
to process the payment as a check transaction. When we
use information from your check to make an electronic
funds transfer, funds may be withdrawn from your account
the same day your payment is received. In this case, you will
not receive your check back from your financial institution.
• Submit one check or money order per Show

Via U.S. mail or
overnight courier
These orders must be received by midnight CT on the
last business day of the month to count for that month’s
commissions, bonuses or incentives.
The last business day of the month excludes weekends,
published holidays and published Pampered Chef® holidays
listed in the Consultant News.
The U.S. Postal Service, for either First-Class or Priority
Mail, cannot guarantee a date when mail will be received by
the Home Office. The Home Office picks up its final mail
on the last business day at 4:30 p.m. CT; orders received
after that will count for the next month.
When using Federal Express®, follow these
requirements to guarantee a specific receipt date:
• Ship the order(s) overnight, by Federal Express Priority
Overnight service. Send them at least two business
days prior to the month-end close date.

Wow, glad I asked. I missed that about the show order form. I'm assuming that's something we can only order on a supply order? I didn't see it in the Download Center.
 
Yes you have to order the show order form.A computer is a tax write off, by the way. Can you get a new one?
 
It's not in the download center - you have to order it from supply order. It's a tally form for the show, so HO knows how many of each item to send. The only time you send in a separate order form for each customer is when they have requested direct shipping. But you do have to send in the credit card info for each person who used one.
