I was worried about getting 2 of my shows in in time in order to have the $1250 in sales for the May HWC items. I actually got them submitted and then went and checked something else and then I realized I forgot to submit my sample package order. I only orderd 3 items off the open stock. My only problem is is that it states on the form that orders must be received at the HO by 3/31/09 and mine was time stamped 4/1/09 at 1206am. Do you think I am still okay and they will still ship me the samples I ordered?? I am totally hoping so!!! Fingers Crossed please!!!!!
 
I know we all hate to call, because of the call back time. But that's is probably the only way you will truely know if it is okay?

I know I just put mine through last night also. I almost forgot. It says (on the paper order form) must be received by 3/31. So I would check just so you know.

Darn, I didn't realize there was a term date to it. Teaches me to read all the info better.
 
Good luck, I Hope they honor it, it was only 7 minutes late.
 
I wouldn't bother calling HO (too long a wait!). If you still want the sample packages, it doesn't hurt to try placing the order. Seems, the worse that will happen is they kick the order back.

I did call this morning and then of course missed my call back so called them again and spoke with customer service after a 3 hour call back time. They did get my order and it is all okay!! YEAH!!!!!
 
Good for you! :)
 
Good! I glad to hear they honored it. I mean it was only a few minutes late.
But I am glad you called, I know it is a pain to wait for the call back, but it eased your mind.
