Moving to Scotland: Tips for Transferring Your SS Benefits Easily

[britishchef]

Wow! This will probably happen next month... in any case it will totally disrupt my SS months. I'm on track to have a great SS1 month but I'm not sure what's going to happen. I emailed HO and am waiting to hear back from a special department about how I would be able to transfer over etc. Has anyone done this?

Wow! Scotland! I've always wanted to visit there. Never have been across the Atlantic. I take it that's around home, judging by your 'name'. Best wishes with the move, your business, and the general upheaval!

 

[gilliandanielle]

Do we ship to Scotland? I 'd be interested to hear what HO says!

 

[britishchef]

Well the Pampered Chef is in the UK too! And all the products are teh same, so I hope I can just transfer over and buy the correct paperwork and get a new cluster. It's not that well known around there so I could have a great opportunity!

 

[britishchef]

BTW, yes that's home. Actually I'm English but lived in Scotland from age 10 on. I miss it loads!

Actually, BritishChef, I think you will have to give up your business in the US and re-sign under the UK division. We cannot sell to foreign nationals where I am, only to fellow Americans. The German nationals have to purchase from a rep from the German division. There is one lady on this site who lives in Edinbourgh, MuppetGal I think. HO tries to let us move our businesses if we are moving with the military, but otherwise I think you have to go under that host country.
Let me know if this isn't right, I would love to hear the answer!!

I think that there is someone on this site is from Scotland. I have friends from there. One day I will get there. Good Luck!

 

[britishchef]

I don't mind doing that, as long as I don't have to pay again!

 

[lacychef]

Wow, best of luck to you That is one place I would LOVE to visit someday!

I was curious last night and went to look at the UK website... their NEW products include one of our DISCONTINUED ones (the Cherry & Olive Pitter! lol)... and some of their other NEW products are ones that we have had for several years.... OH! BUT I NEED A COPY OF THEIR COOKBOOKS!!!!! I need to get in touch with the Inlaws and see if they know a consultant! And if not... maybe they can call YOU, britishchef!

 

[PCGINA]

GreaT SCOT!!! How exciting is that.... I hope you are able to quickly pick-up your business once you are relocated.

Hmmmm... now I'm curious about seeing that UK cookbook as well

 

[soccermama]

I'm a cookbook freak! LOL

 

[PoseyMom]

How exciting! We are on our way to the UK in October, but we are military so we will still be under the US division of TPC. Let us know what you find out about switching over!

 

[britishchef]

Yeah, some of the new ones are not so new. LOL. But I mean the actual products aren't different... KWIM? I hope they have an answer for me tomorrow!

 

[soccermama]

I knew what you meant... I was just commenting that the new products there aren't new here... LOL Good luck with the move!

 

[Muppetgal]

I'm in Scotland! So if they won't let you transfer over you can always sign up under me.... :wink wink:

Our products are different, some things don't sell over here that sell well in the US, it's all market tested I think.

As for cookbooks ladies, well from what I can tell we don't actually get as many recipes as you do, there is only the stoneware book and Taste of Pampered Chef available just now. TBH some of it won't work in the US, as it's specific to brands that are found here. I realised that some of my Canadian recipes didn't transfer over due to change in flour etc, but things also cook at different rates due to the different altitude. weird eh?

 

[soccermama]

Yes, but we can still read them and get ideas!!! LOL I never follow a recipe at home, I just read cookbooks and decide which elements of a recipe I want to use! lol

 

[gilliandanielle]

I saw that this Spring they got the citris colors, so they will probably get the recent colors next Spring.

 

[Muppetgal]

Yes, but we can still read them and get ideas!!! LOL I never follow a recipe at home, I just read cookbooks and decide which elements of a recipe I want to use! lol

from what I can tell they take the US recipes though and adapt them to the UK ingredients etc. There probably isn't much different in our books.

 

[soccermama]

Probably.... but I'm a cookbook freak! I LOVE COOKBOOKS!!!!!
