Order Status Update: Delay in Shipping for Recent Orders

[lkprescott]

So I put in my host's order on Sunday... and it's still showing as only "Received". My shows before then had shipped out pretty quickly so this is kinda surprising me.

Is anyone else noticing a slow down in our orders shipping out?

My orders have been much slower this month (January that is) compared to the last couple. I think we got spoiled with the fast turn around for the holidays!

Maybe...

I only had one show in January and that shipped really fast... I guess I figured they were still on the ball with shipping.

Towards the end of the month/beginning of the month is always slow, people are always trying to get orders in at the last minute. If you submitted it Sunday, that's only three business days, give them some time. If you look at the top of the shipping page it will tell you what da they are currently working on. That's why HO as always asked us not to wait until the last of the month if we can.

My shows are the same. i called last night to make sure they weren't on hold. She said they are behind due to end of month orders.

I am sure it was because of the deadline for the bonus 1500 and 3000 points! I am sure orders around the middle of this month will be slow, with the cutoff for double points being the 14th!

Thanks for the tip! I never noticed the what day they were working on part before.

I guess I just got spoiled with the last few shipments I had. One was received by HO mid-Jan, shipped out and received by host in 3 biz days, so this had me concerned.

If someone ever asks at a show, I always tell them 10-12 business days after we close the show. This gives HO time if they are really slow. I couldn't believe the amount of people who were upset about shipping last fall. Crap happens, orders happen, things slow down. HO has always done a great job trying to keep up with our orders and we do get spoiled when they hit 1-2 day turn around. Then it makes up look good if we tell then 10-12 business days and they get it in 3.

I submitted a show On January 31st

a sample order (new s/s stuff) of February 1st

a supply order on February 2

an outlet order (for that crock pot and a few other things) on February 4

ALL are showing received - I thought it was because of the end of the month thing and the consultant incentive

Your sample order will take a little longer than the regular stuff. When I called HO about mine, they said that they ship those out a little differently. They are trying to get out show orders and supply orders first. I submitted my sample order on the 28th and it finally shipped last night.

Can you believe this

I checked my shipment status first thing this morning - just before getting on here

I just checked again and now the cooking show and supply order is showing 'picking'
