I have a customer/host that has been a very loyal customer/host since I started with PC. She called the other night and wants to exchange the coating trays. She has tried to use them a few times and isn't happy with them. I know she can do that because it has been within a year since she purchased them.

Here is the problem... she didn't order them from a show that I did and can't find her receipt for that product and doesn't remember who the consultant was to get another receipt. What can I do to help her???? She is an awesome customer/host and I want to help her in anyway that I can. Any ideas would be appreciated.
 
She only needs to know who the host was for the show she bought them from, and the approximate date of the show. She can call the toll free phone number for HO or you can do it for her.
 
If they want to evenly exchange it with something else, can they? Or will they just get their money back?
 
HO usually gives them the option of either.
 
Thanks!
Oh and I forgot to ask- are they responsible for the cost of shipping the item back if it was ordered in the last 30 days? I know with normal replacements they aren't.

No, in the first 30 days HO will pay for shipping, after that they're on their own.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process for exchanging coating trays for a loyal customer?

The process for exchanging coating trays typically involves contacting Pampered Chef customer service or your direct sales representative. They will guide you through the steps, including providing any necessary information about the original purchase and the reason for the exchange.

How long does it take to process an exchange for coating trays?

The processing time for an exchange can vary, but it typically takes a few business days once the request is submitted. Shipping time for the new trays will depend on the delivery method chosen at the time of the exchange.

Will my loyal customer have to pay for shipping when exchanging coating trays?

Shipping policies can vary based on the circumstances of the exchange. In many cases, if the exchange is due to a defect or error on Pampered Chef's part, shipping may be covered. However, if the exchange is for a different reason, the customer may be responsible for shipping costs.

Can I help my loyal customer with the exchange if I am not their direct sales representative?
