I was just wondering when I should expect to receive the things I ordered at conference? I was in WAVE 1 and ordered from Nancy's Artwork. I thought for sure we would have received it by now!:(
 
Last year it took 6 weeks for me to get my stuff from Nancy's! Yes, 6 weeks!! Took 4 weeks to get my stuff from Town & Country...

These guys get so overloaded and they are not nearly as big or organized as PC is and it just takes forever...
 
I was in wave 1 and got my stuff from Nancy yesterday.
 
I too was in wave 1 & got my things from Nancy on monday.
 
Wave 2, still no sign of Nancy's stuff...I loved that I got to bring home the stuff from Merrill!
 
I ordered a tank-top and pink jacket from VIP and still do not have it :(

Don't forget that Nancy was there for all 3 Waves so even though you placed an order at #1, she didn't get home to process them until after the end of Wave 3. Plus she always gives such nice gifts for purchasing at conference that it's worth the wait....kinda :)
 
what is the website to go to Nancy's to see what she has?
 
I received both my items from Nanci's and VIP yesterday.:)
 
I was in wave 3 and I've already (last week) recevied my things from Nancy's.

I ordered some things from VIP BEFORE conference and still have not received it. This is getting to be very frustrating.
 
I recived my Nancy's stuff two days ago and I was in Wave 3!!!! :) I like the freebee stuff that she includes for ordering at conference!!
 
What is the link to VIP, please ????
 
I don't believe they have a link any longer, as they are no longer an authorized vendor. I don't think they carry any more PC items, but I'm not sure. Just do a search for VIP and you can find them that way, if you want to check and be sure.
 
Merrill is our only vendor. VIP was dropped as well as Nancy's artwork. Sadly since both of them were more reasonably priced then Merrill.

We no longer have VIP as a vendor. Only Merrill.

I see you are new to ChefSuccess...Welcome :) When posting on a thread, you might want to double check the date....this was from last July's conference. As you sort through all the threads, remember that some of the products and specials have been discontinued.

A great thread was started the other day with tips for new cheffers. I don't know how to link it here but someone else will before too long! It's called The Hitchhiker's Guide to Chef Success (by The Kitchen Guy).
 
That thread is in the Lounge - it's a sticky, so it's always at the top of the Lounge.
