To test this make sure that you have closed all your browsers. Clear the cache, reopen a browser, go to your PWS directly NOT through CC, click order products, click indvidual order, and then you should see the outlet as a menu choice on the left-hand side.

Would you mind sharing the instructions you're using?
A couple of weeks ago I copy and pasted the link to the outlet page for one of my customers and I emailed it to her. I didn't realize that it would work for her. Unfortunately for me, she figured out how to get to the outlet through the main website and was able to place her order. As a result, one of our local directors randomly received the sale and the commission.
Fortunately for my customer, she received what she wanted and is HAPPY!
Thanks in advance!

So the directions look like:
The only way to order from the outlet and my website is to:
1. Go to http://www.pamperedchef.biz/... (if you go to pampered chef.com you will NOT get to my website
2. Click Order Products (lower left on screen)
3. Click Place an Order (2nd option)
4. Click "Otherwise, click here to continue"
5. You should see the outlet as a menu choice on the left-hand side
If you do not see the outlet then close all your browsers, clear your cache, and go through steps 1-5 again.
