My Host just told me that none of the free spreaders were in her order? I put them on each of the orders in Pampered Partner?

Why would they all be missing? This is so frustrating.

Guess I will have to call HO and now she will have to call all the guests just to pick up thier little spreaders.
 
They probably just missed stuffing that bag. lol

When you call them ask them to send them to each guest. If you have the addresses they likely will do that - if something is missing or needs adjusting they will send right to guests without any extra shipping charges so...
 
I agree with Beth, I know it will be alot for PC in shipping but it will also be alot for your host to track down all her guests again. Have them ship them to the guests.

So when I call do I just give them each of the guests address's over the phone?

Do I specifically ask them to do this. Would I have to talk to a supervisor?

This is the first order I had delivered to the Host, I usually had them delivered to me because they were family or close friends.
 
They usually ask where you want it delivered (you, host, guest). So, I would say that the host has already delivered the other items and they should be delivered to the guests. If you already had their addresses on your Pampered Partner they will have those. You would only need to tell them the ones you didn't have when you sent the show in.

You shouldn't need to talk to a supervisor about this.
