nevermind I figured it out. I ordered another trivet... only allowed one. That must be it. I will call tomorrow.
 
You'd think instead of holding the whole order and messing it up- they'd just skip that item and send you an email and process the rest.

that is what I would think, too... but looking through past posts that seems to be what they do.
Am I wrong, anyone?
 
You aren't wrong...it happened to me also. I ordered too many of a free HWC item (forget what it was). I had to call before they would release it.
 
Me too. I ordered too many of the HWC flyers and they would not release my order, even thought the flyers were N/C. Go figure.:rolleyes:
 
I'm sure this won't happen again right? I think it's a way for Pampered Chef to make sure we keep an eye on our business... We need to pay more attention to all details. We are part of a well respected company and we need to be accountable. Before making orders of items which have a limit on how many can be ordered, make sure you verify your past orders. It only takes a minute or two. Make sure your business is in good shape and leave no room for minor mistakes....Imagine if you were to make a booboo with a client's credit card???? Just a thought!
 
Do those items that have a limit- will they flag in P3? I know some things we do (like if you try to order a guest special and someone doesn't qualify) it will flag a message to you. Does it also for things like limited quantities for supplies?

they do not flag...at least it did not for me. That would be helpful i we did make a mistake or not know a "rule"... then it could not be submitted without fixing it. Good thought, Bobbi!
