My July CN just arrived TODAY! I know it's always late, but this is rediculous...whole lot of good it does me now. Thankfully they are on CC and I can read it there, but still. What's the point of snail mailing it if it's never going to arrive in time? I wrote HO an email, but who knows if it will make a difference. Just griping...I'm done.
 
Phone HO about it.

However, they are mailed Periodical rate. Which is space available. That means the post office doesn't have to hurry to get them out.
 
I got mine yesterday and simply laughed. Thanks to this group I know how to find the electronic copy. August is still unavailable :( wahhh none of the tricks are working.
 
Nope- even for Directors, it's not up yet. Too much going on this month with Conference. And if I remember correctly, Aug is the issue that they'll have conference photos, too (Circle of Honor, etc.). So that's probably adding to production time.
 
Hi there! I completely understand your frustration with receiving your July CN late. As a Pampered Chef consultant, I also rely on timely delivery of our materials to provide the best service to our customers. I'm glad to hear that you were able to access it on CC, but I agree that it defeats the purpose of snail mailing it if it's consistently late. I hope your email to HO will make a difference and I will also reach out to them on your behalf. In the meantime, if there's anything I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to let me know. Have a great day!
