So, I submitted a show on the 7th. It's still registering as received and not picking etc. I actually submitted two shows on the 7th. One has already been shipped. I submitted a show on the 10th...shows it's "picking" Show from the 7th is still just saying RECEIVED! UGH!!! What's the deal???:mad:
 
They have been behind in updating lately, don't panic!! There have been a few threads like this the last few weeks. The holidays are just hard on HO!

I know! It's just worrisome since I know the hostess is going out of town and there are christmas gifts in there. It's a 1000 dollar show.
 
Does the amount from your show appear in your Individual Performance Tracker? If not, there might be a hold on the show... perhaps a credit card was declined. You should have received a notice if that were the case, but you never know. I'd call HO and see if there's a hold.
 
I submitted 2 shows at the same time on Sat., Dec. 9th - one is showing shipped, and the other is showing still just received.....I'm getting a little nervous too, just because the one that is still showing received is a fundraiser, and we gave parents a pick-up date of Dec. 18th (School is out the 20th)!

I agree. Check your IPT & see if there is a total there. If it says zero, it's on hold.

It's been in my IPT since the day after! I just got notice that a show i submitted on the 10th shipped! Anyway, it finally says picking. I sure hope they get it out tomorrow!!!
 
Sometimes at this time of year they take orders out of sequence in the warehouse, depending on whether there's a backordered item that's expected to be in soon included in the order, or if it's going to a location that typically tales a little longer to receive shipments. The ship-to location will really factor in for everything that's submitted on /after 12/15 so that more of those orders will likely make it to their destinations by 12/23.
