July's Tablecloth/Apron Special?

[Ginger428]

My driver leaves the door tag with the package too. WTF?????

Mine put them on the boxes as I was standing there waiting......

 

[baychef]

Look at it this way- are you really going to be wearing the Green Snowman Apron in August?? or even September/October? So I'm in no rush. Would rather have seen the Booking Slide as the July incentive and saved the Snowman apron till later this summer or early fall.

Wouldn't it turn heads to wear the apron to the grocery store? You have a good point and it also made me giggle! Thanks!

My FedEx lady puts the tag on the door inside the screen if she leaves the package(s). That way if someone goes off with it, they have left a tag. Must be they have been told to do so now. It seems pretty stupid to put the tag on the box though!

I just want mine for the fall preview I am doing as well on the 24th I can only hope.

 

[Fluffy215]

I was hoping to have mine the 22nd for fall preview also LOL Still not showing up in adjustments LOL My Fedex guy as of late has been leaving the slip also but always on the door, which is silly because he leaves the box next to the door so if someone takes the box what is to stop them from taking the slip? LOL

 

[wadesgirl]

A director in our group got her's today!!

 

[christinaspc]

Boy I called and I got a lady who doesn't know anything about the booking/recruiting slide promotion so who knows and then when I asked her about the apron she said that they haven't even started shipping them yet so she apparently needs to bone up on some things so when people call they know what they are telling them.

 

[Fluffy215]

Well I just checked by making an adjustment and not knowing the number and my apron shows a Show date of 8/4 a day after my samples and I received my samples last week but no word on my apron LOL

They shipped USPS so they would come way after the samples.

Call me a wierdo but I would actually start wearing my apron in September as a good segway into the countdown to Christmas as well as our new plates/platters/overall new products. I'm finding that all of my bookings from last few shows are booking fall shows for CHristmas shopping purposes (espec Sept for Stoneware) so I hope to push the shop early incentive a little more and perhaps the Snowmen touch can help.

"So you're probably wondering why on earth the pampered chef chick is standing up here in an apron with Snowmen on it. It's September for petes sake! Here in PA we didn't even have a summer and she's thinking Christmas? Well you bet I am and perhaps so will you as you see some of our fantastic items we're going to play with tonite...."
or
(Ann's tip Throw out the number of days until Xmas (which is already on my PC calendar) and then when they don't guess that its the number of days until Xmas then I can lead into "Well I'll give you a hint...that number relates to the apron I'm wearing today. Now anymore guesses?" and go from there.

I prefer lots of humor in my shows and if I can stand up there in front of everyone and make fun of the fact that I'm wearing snowmen in September (or Oct) then I have a few more lines for my cross between a Stand Up Comedy Show and my version of a Food Network Show.

Again, call me a weirdo.

 

[esavvymom]

Those are great ideas Melissa- you are not a weirdo...at least not for those ideas anyway

I did receive my first "Halloween" e-mail magazine promo about 2 weeks ago. I saw the Halloween candy in a grocery store aisle bin (and it was a big bin) last August at this time last year.

Because Raebates put up a Christmas website, I too have been thinking about buying gifts now in an attempt to enjoy the Christmas season just a bit more this year. And I have a host that has a party every 6 months. Many of the things she gets for free are Christmas gifts. She is in her 60's and her husband is older. They don't have much money and both have health issues. Ok, I am babbling:blushing:, but my point is, people are thinking about Christmas!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

The only think with wearing mine in Sept/Oct is that then I couldn't wear my HWC one...and I'm in love with that one! It's the first apron I've ever loved. I may wear it through October - because I want people to support the Making Strides campaign then.

I don't know - I'm torn...

 

[raebates]

Mine arrived yesterday. I'm planning to start using them in September. That's when I start promoting the idea of shopping for Christmas.

 

[chefcaroline]

In the adjustments area, mine show shipping on 7/31, but I haven't received it yet and tracking doesn't show anything.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

I don't have anything showing in my adjustments area for mine.

 

[Saturday Gourmet]

In the adjustments area, mine show shipping on 7/31, but I haven't received it yet and tracking doesn't show anything.

Mine too! I wonder how long it will take to get here? I tried doing the fedex tracking thingy that was told to us in the Guide to Season changeover thread, but it has never worked for me. Oh well, at least I know it's on its way!

 

[chefcaroline]

I just talked to someone at HO and even though mine shows in the adjustment area for 7/31 it didn't actually ship out USPS until this past Wednesday..... Who knows when I will actually get it... LOL

 

[pampchefrhondab]

I got mine today in the mail.

 

[chefann]

I wonder if the difference between those shipping FedEx and those shipping USPS is the tablecloth for conference attendees.

 

[chefcaroline]

I went to conference and submit the 2 shows, and mine is coming USPS.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

I wonder if the difference between those shipping FedEx and those shipping USPS is the tablecloth for conference attendees.

I attended conference. And I live in MI like you...and I still don't have any tracking info for mine, and it's not on the adjustments page either. :cry:

 

[chefann]

Mine never did show up on the adjustment page. It just appeared on my side porch. And it's still not in the adj. screen.

Maybe I should check my front porch!Nope - nothing.

 

[esavvymom]

I got mine today! It came FedEx...I had both. Woohoo! It's alot cuter than I remembered. I opened it with a friend in the room, and she loved the snowmen. She said" maybe we should have a holiday show!" (I've been trying to get her on my calendar for months- but she's so busy, it's tough). So who knows!

 

[Judybabe]

what does this set look like?

 

[SpiritdancerIA]

That's not it I called HO today, and my is being shipped via the FedEx-to-USPS-to-me route, left HO on 8/12, and is currently showing as being in Wisconsin. It's supposed to get to me on 8/18. And I got both the apron and the tablecloth.

 

[KimberleePowell]

Hello! I received my tablecloth and apron on Saturday. It wasn't shipped using Fedex. It came in my mailbox. I hope that helps. Have a fabulous day!

 

[wadesgirl]

I got mine USPS.

 

[pampered1224]

When I talked to HO last week they said they all ship Via Post Office. Not FedEx. So there would be no tracking number. I wonder why some of you did get them FedEx? To goofy. It is so hard to trust what the reps at HO say because we all seem to get different stories. Oh well, I got mine on Saturday! And I will even wear that one. Green is my favorite color and I love snowmen!
