lol supposedly I'm next in line... we'll see!
I have one order I'm trying to submit and the other that is almost ready but I'm not quite done with everything!
 
I find it ironic that I keep getting a recording telling me to visit the website!!!*****THE FIRST SHOW JUST WENT THROUGH*****
off to finish the next one
 
I think my two shows just sumbitted

I clicked refresh button for CC and it came up

I then went to PP+ hit the transmit button and it said success

Cross your fingers

:chef:
 
Ok here is the scoop... I just spoke to someone they said servers are down since 4:30pm and they have been working on getting them back up and running and think they have done it said to try again in 10-15min but also that the deadline is pushed to tomorrow!
 
I just got on CC to update my website AND was able to submit my show through PPP... keep trying!!!! Good luck everyone!!!
 
My shows submitted!! YAY :cheerleader:
 
Wahoo!! I was just able to submit two successfully! Yippee! :D
 
So the question now, if I have a December show that I would like to submit tomorrow - will it count toward the December promo of Pampered Chef Dollars now that we received that email. I told my host I would submit it Dec. 1 and really don't want to push it another day with all the orders going in.
 
my 2 shows just went through!!!
 
Nope - it says to not submit orders for December stuff until Dec. 2. I think they're gonna have a mess on their hands. :yuck: Hopefully, though, they'll separate the shows that are flagged as December & not merge them with the November ones.

This was in the e-mail:

"Please note, all orders and agreements that you want to count for December should be submitted beginning on Tuesday, December 2, 2008."
 
whoohoo, mine finally went thru!:)

You have to wait until December 2 to submit December shows because of the technical difficulties.
 
I got the same email here in Canada just as I was struggling to get my last show organized. Tried anyway and it worked, so I submitted $4,390 in sales with $3750 for SAT. Our level 3 is 3500 so I'm thrilled! I wanted to try anyway to beat the rush tomorrow if I could. Good luck everyone!
 
I just checked my e-mail this morning and I got the e-mail confirmation that they received my shows

YEAH :sing:

:chef:
 
What a mess for them...so glad they gave us the extra day.

Yeah - I'm sure they are a bit stressed. All kinds of consultants calling in, panicked, and the system not working - not only the last day of the month, but also the last day of the busiest month of the year, AND the last day of SAT! Yikes!
 
Aren't you glad you don't work at HO today?! LOL
