Consultants cornerAngie,
They are on consultants corner on promotions. Just make sure you click on the right one, as far as tax goes. There are three that you can click on, I don't know which one would be specific for the state you are in.

Hope I helped,
Debbie :) :) :)
 
Hi! Does anyone have a flyer caller Calculating Your Order Is Easy? It has a picture of a woman sitting in a chair. My computer crashed and lost all of my files! Thanks in advance for your time and help. Cheryl
 
Re: New order forms! (a spoiler!)This is great. Is it available now? I am looking at a supply order form and don't see it. I need to place my order tonight. Does anyone know?

For those of you who are curious...
Yes! The Pampered Chef is now giving us an option on which type of order form you would like to use! Here are our options:
(1) Just like our current order forms, but they are divided into new categories, and ALPHABETIZED! Yeah! They also have a spot on the BACK of the form for stamping!

(2) A triplicate form just like the current outside order forms! And, attached is a wish list for your guests to fill out!

We will have the option to choose, both are the same price!
NO more headaches or confusion!

Way to go, home office!

Christie, the original posts are from 2005. If you search for Wish List in CC, though, you can find a form that has all the products listed by category, then alphabetical, including product number and price. There's no place to put your contact info, though.
 
This post is from 2005. The itemized forms are no longer available. The wish list form is what was attached to the order forms but has been removed.
 
Thanks, I looked at July, but didn't see it was from 2005. Sorry.
 
Haha! I did the same thing at first, too. I was totally confused about what they were talking about in the first couple of posts.
