HELP! I know I'm cutting it close to the deadline. I had a catalog host, who recruited another girl to host a catalog show so that the #1 host could get 2 sets of the cookware. I submitted the first show, with the 2nd show as a booking. I was hoping that P3 would let me enter the 2nd set of cookware on show #2 as the booking benefit, but it wants the PHD #, and nothing's showing up. I'm afraid I already know the answer, but will the # be generated soon, or will I have to wait until tomorrow? (Do we have until the 5th to get the special? can't find that on the flier I'm looking at now, but I'm a little frazzled!)
 
I was able to retirve a PHD # shortly after I got the P3 confirmation email! It shouldn't take very long.
 
I thought you had until the end of the next month to get the host special as long as the show is dated in the month with the special you want.

I ended up getting it to go through with 000000 as the PHD#--I know it will most likely throw the show onto hold, but I got it in for Sept. sales and commission. I'll be able to immediately resolve the issue by the time they tell me it's a problem! I'm sure that it being Sun. eve. was the problem!
 
Hi there! I understand your concern about the deadline and wanting to make sure your host gets the special. Since the PHD # is required for the booking benefit, it may be best to reach out to our customer service team for assistance. They should be able to generate the # for you and help ensure that your host receives the special. As for the deadline, it is always best to submit orders as soon as possible to avoid any potential issues. I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance. Best of luck with your shows!
