Kathy Griffith, an independent consultant for Pampered Chef, faced a situation where a trade with another user, Vanessa, resulted in delayed communication and delivery of items. Vanessa expressed frustration over not receiving her traded products despite multiple attempts to reach Kathy via private messages, phone calls, and voicemails. The thread contained discussions on the importance of trust in trading and various personal experiences with similar issues. Ultimately, Kathy explained that she had been out of state due to a death in the family, which caused the delay. She assured Vanessa that the items would be mailed shortly, resolving the situation. Participants in the thread provided support for both parties, emphasizing the need for understanding when personal issues arise. The outcome was positive, with Vanessa acknowledging the resolution and expressing gratitude.

Unfortunately mine wasn't. As most of you know I had an issue too last fall and STILL haven't received my dots apron. No help from Greg after his initial inquiry to me and she's still a member!

NOW I haven't received my prize for the 500,000th post and don't even know if it's been sent.

Sorry for the hijack Vanessa. Hopefully YOURS IS resolved with the help of Greg like Carol's was. I know I won't trade or purchase from anyone on here that I haven't built a repore (sp?) with and haven't seen on here for a long, long time. No offense to the new members but I'm still bitter.

I have to agree with you about being bitter with new members. Its sad, but I agree about building a repoire with people on here. And while I "know" many people on this site and I feel they "know" me, I have had successful trades/selling experiences in the past.

One item came damaged, but I had purchased insurance and the seller (whom I enjoy reading her posts & would trade with again;) )was happy to send me the receipt.

I do hope nothing is wrong and Kathy has the opportunity to resolve the issue.

And Linda---I know her mailing address was AR, and thank-you for researching the cell #.

I did email Greg on Saturday, however, I really didn't want to get him involved because basically I feel that isnt his job. But I wanted to let him know of what was going on.

As I posted in Carol's thread, it would be great for Greg to publish some sort of feedback rating system.

I hope I covered everything you all said.
Thanks for your concerns!! I appreciate it.

It's a horrible situation you're in Vanessa and it sucks to feel you can't trust someone you thought you knew. I have only had one problem buying something from another consultant and it was not on CS but rather on a yahoo group. I paid with a check so I had no recourse and she got vicious nasty when confronted. She is no longer a consultant - she pobably burned too many bridges given her unpleasant demeanor.

I have only made one trade and it went beautifully and was with someone I trust implicitly (hi Janet!). I will only ever be willing to trade with a handful of people - the ones I have known for years and trust completely. Otherwise I will stick to buying/selling and only through Paypal so we both have protection.

Hi Carolyn! :) I trust you on sales/trades too! ;) Even though we disagree politically. :D But all is good! It stretches our thoughts!

I've had many successful dealings on here luckily. Good luck to getting it resolved. I just hope she was away for a weekend - I was INSANELY busy this last week!
 
I would send her a certified note via mail
 
So far, knock on wood, I have had good transactions with my fellow cheffers. Although I am a procrastinator and an awful packer (I have since learned my lesson), I hope everyone feels the same about me :D However, Ebay is a totally different story and I will no longer do business on it. One time I purchased what *I thought* to be 14 packages of recipe cards for $15 plus shipping (they were discontinued, so I figured the extra $1 was worth it.) So I received a package a few days later with 14 recipe cards in it! I was so angry, I could feel my blood pressure rise! I emailed the seller and demanded my money back. Luckily she was very cooperative. She said she wasn't a consultant and had paid as much as $1 per card before and wanted to try to re-coop some of her money. (Imagine someon charging a dollar a recipe card. That person should be ashamed of themselves!) Anyway, I sent back the package and got a full refund, so it ended up ok, but all in all it's just not worth it.

Wow, I just realized I wrote a whole book and it was all a complete hijack. Sorry... :blushing:

Thanks for sharing that Jackie!

I have definitely learned to be more conscious on who I deal/trade with! I think the new requirement for me is someone who has at least xxx posts. Whatever that number is, I am not sure yet! ;)

You know I've been doing business, NOT PC, on eBay since 1998 and I have never, knock on wood, been burned.
 
I hope I am included in the positive transactions Jackie!;)

Any luck today Vanessa??
 
Any luck yet?
 
I keep checking in here, hoping to find good news from Vanessa!

Sending it today
 
I missed this thread before, Venessa I know how you feel. A long time ago I ordered some stuff through a US consultant by the name Melissa Aska and the hag never sent my stuff and took over $100.00 bucks from me!!! I did contact the US head office over it, not sure what happened to her. I to this day still send bad vibes her way:mad:

But I have had wonderful transactions on here as well. I have purchased and sold items to fellow cheffers with no problems.


I wish you luck and hopefully it's just an over sight on her part.
 
Sending bad vibes to MELISSA ASKA... :yuck:

I feel bad for her. But this is very weird and creepy.
 
Holy Moly - I just found it -

Man, I really love my DH and am so thankful I married him and not "that"!

Sorry Vanessa - end of Highjack!
 
Yeah sorry Vanessa, I hope you get your stuff.

I'm worried about her. He sounds very possessive, controlling and possiably abusive. Makes me think about Paige.

Off to read that thread now that curisority is killing me!! Or should I say nosieness!
 
I am posting this here also, I do not want my fellow cheffers to think I'm a flake. This was sent to Vanessa this AM

Vanessa

I am so sorry for all this stress I've caused. I have been out of state due to a death in the family. We just returned home last night.

I will get your things in the mail tomorrow, I didn't have time to pack the box this morning. You should have them by the end of the week. I will also send another e-mail when I return from the post office.

Again I apoligize, I really don't do business this way.

Kathy
 
Kathy - sorry to hear of the death and glad you are o.k. and home safe.
