You have two choices. Handle it for her, or tell her to follow the instructions on the back of her receipt, and return it for a replacement. I just checked the Product Care and Use Instructions for the QSP #2271, and it says it is dishwasher safe "when positioned away from heating element." Well, you and I both know that the top shelf is where it should go, in that case, but
how many dishwashers have the height on the top shelf to take that size container? I've had three dishwashers in my life, and all the top shelves
are the ones for cups and glasses. The lower shelves fit a 10 or 12" dinner plate at the best. So, tell me, how did she fit the pitcher in the top shelf?
It's your call, if you want to "Pamper your past hostess", do her the favor at this time of year, and you will have a friend for life. I know that happened to me when I was just a Guest. I had a party in my home, June 2004. Attended another party at my Church in April 2005. I approached the Consultant after the party to complain about the deep scratches and stains on my Large Grooved Cutting Board. She nicely offered to accept it, and return it for me, even tho she was not my original consultant. A few days later, she wrote me a nice note, inviting me to consider becoming a consultant. I signed on April 28, 2005. Need I say more!

I went onto CC and did a product adjustment. I hope I did it right. At the end of it all it said I would get an email in 1-2 business days. Will I than have to send the QSP to HO and than they will send me a different one, or what all happens? I don't mean to sound stupid but I want to make this customer happy, she is a good friend of mine and I hope to have more and more business from her.
