Does anyone know if the serving tongs that are in the outlet are big enough to serve salad with?
 
Nope. They're more the veggie tray size. Great for cherry tomatoes, olives, etc.
 
I would say that the scoop part is about the size of a teaspoon....not very big!
 
They are wonderful though!! Love mine:)
 
Yes they are, I bought 2 last month....and 2 more are on their way! Now I have to decide whether I want to keep them or use them as door prizes!
 
The ones that we have in the catalog now are more salad size. Love the little ones though!! I have three pair of them!! I use tongs all the time for appetizers and ours are the only ones that haven't broken on me. I wish they hadn't discontinued them.
 
How do we order the outlet items? Do we order from our own website. I thought we got a discount on these items.

You get a discount on them if you order them through CC....but if you want the sales and commission on them (pay full price) by placing an individual order on your PWS (I put it in my mom's name).
 
When I log in through CC, not all of the products are shown. At least they weren't yesterday. I haven't checked today. Does that mean we don't get a discount on those items?
 
They may have been just updating it at that time. All Outlet items should show up on there, with your discount. Plus, consultant-only items, like the black stone tote.
 
Okay... if I go to my PWS and go to the outlet, put what I want in my bag adn then go to checkout... in order to put it in someone else's name do I click on "new address" ??? I want to make sure to get the double points and I'm SO close to my $15000 career sales I want to boost that too... if it will count towards that???? Help? :)

Yes it will count towards both!! Just follow the instructions as if you weren't a consultant..
