My show submitted Monday (4th) afternoon is FINALLY picking!! I was getting a bit worried, as I have a fundraiser to submit tomorrow, and we have sent out notices with all the kids that their parents can pick up orders at school the 18th! I was beginning to wonder if 10 days was going to be enough time to get it shipped and sorted! I still think it will be down to the wire!
 
Glad to hear that! I wonder why it took so long?
 
I was worried about one of my orders too so I called HO today. I had submitted it plus one other order on the 5th & the other one was shipped. They said it was on hold because food tax was collected where it shouldn't have been! It was my cousin in CA doing a catalog show; I didn't know it didn't get taxed there!
Don't worry about the shipping time; they always give us the last day, & they always come through with getting things here on time. (here's me knocking on wood;) )
 
Mine is still only showing "received" and I had submitted it on Monday the 4th also....what's up?

The individual orders and online orders have shipped already.

My indiv. & online orders shipped first too - but as of this morning it is showing shipped! Yea!
 
I called this morning and they said it shipped today. YEAH!
 
I just signed on with PC a week before Thanksgiving and I just got my start up kit last night. UPS is backed up because of the weather around here and have double and triple their daily deliveries b/c of it. There's still some nasty road conditions around that I'm sure are slowing everyone down.
