Does anyone still do this?? Probably not you (since you obviously have a computer!;) ) but maybe someone on your team? I have a girl who signed 2 weeks ago, but doesn't have internet. She said she doesn't mind having to mail in the orders, but I've never done that!! Any advice??
 
I've heard of a lot of peopel who do this. The biggest thing is that they have different deadlines than those submitted via computer. And it can take longer to "write" out the show order.
 
The P3 reports aren't submittable, unless you contact HO (and then I think it's only for people who are on money order only status). BUT- you can download a full version of PP from CC, and those reports can be printed and mailed. You just need to allow a couple of days for them to get to HO. There are also "FedEx days" marked in the planner for mail-ins. If your recruits overnights something via FedEx and it doesn't get there in time, as long as it was sent by the published deadline, it will still count for that month.

Thanks guys! I just put a bunch more memory on my computer, so I *might* load a second copy of P3, until she gets her own computer. My director mentioned this way at least she'd have a record of everything she's submitted since show #1
 
Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can assure you that there are still consultants who do mail-in orders. It may not be as common as online ordering, but it is definitely still an option. I would recommend reaching out to your upline or other experienced consultants in your team to see if they have any tips or advice on how to handle mail-in orders. You could also suggest to your new team member to consider getting internet access, as it can make the ordering process much easier and faster. Best of luck to you and your team!
