Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

This thread explores the concept of the "changeover box" provided by Pampered Chef to consultants during seasonal transitions. Participants share their experiences regarding the contents of the box, eligibility criteria, and the impact of changes in the materials included.

Discussion Character

  • Anecdotal
  • Opinion-based
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant, identifying as a consultant, explains that the changeover box includes catalogs, a cookbook collection, recipe cards, and other promotional materials, but shipping costs are deducted from commissions.
  • Another participant mentions that while the contents are free, they have to cover shipping charges, which vary slightly among participants.
  • Several users express concerns about not receiving certain items, such as DVDs and recipe cards, in their boxes.
  • One participant shares their experience of receiving their box on time despite not submitting a show in January.
  • Another participant questions their eligibility for the box after being active in December but not in January.
  • Some participants discuss the transition from DVDs to online videos for product demonstrations, expressing mixed feelings about this change.
  • One participant notes the challenges of accessing online videos due to slow internet speeds, preferring physical DVDs for convenience.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Views differ regarding the contents of the changeover box, particularly concerning the inclusion of DVDs and recipe cards. Some participants express disappointment over missing items, while others share that they received their expected contents. There is no clear consensus on the impact of the transition to online videos.

Contextual Notes

Participants are primarily consultants discussing their personal experiences with the changeover box and the implications of being active or inactive during the relevant months.

Who May Find This Useful

Consultants who are new to Pampered Chef or those preparing for seasonal changes may find the shared experiences and insights relevant to their understanding of the changeover box process.

Robin - that is too cool. Thanks soooo much!!!

I hope I get mine, I never got my Calendar thingy

There are so many other companies making microwave omelette makers/egg cookers and these are really popular in general. PC is trying to come up with competitive products. There is a market out there of people who don't like to cook at all and all they ever use is a microwave. PC tries to come out with things to please everyone. Making it out of stoneware is what they came up with because they weren't happy with other materials and their performance in the microwave.
 
I love the egg cooker. When you have little ones, it is much easier to just throw it in the microwave rather than stand over a pan on the stove. it allows you to multi task and not worry about little fingers on the stove.
 
I have a package that looks like it shipped on the 30th but nothing in FedEx. It is a G a it lists the 'show date' as Jan. 30 2013. Wonder why it isn't here or in FedEx?Never mind once I entered the destination zip and country it showed up. Arriving today ;) did anyone find the videos on cc yet?
 
I LOVE the Egg Cooker. It makes perfect soft boiled type eggs without having to struggle with a hot egg shell and scoop it out. I also love poached eggs and this makes it so much easier. And, even if I didn't love it... I posted a picture of it on my fb business page and sold three. Can't argue with that :-)
 
I got my change over box today..when my hubby told me a box had come I was hoping with was what I won from the canceled Hartford spring launch...but I guess that would have shipped later and with all this darn snow it may take awhile.

Copied this from an earlier thread!! HTH!!

Changeover kits don't show up on shipment status. There's a sneaky way to check under Product Adjustments, though.
Go to Product Adjustments, and click on "agree to terms." Then click the "I don't know the show number" link. Pick this year and order type ALL. The list that comes up will include all shipments from HO to you. Those with a "G" in the middle are earned things: sell a thon, changeover pack, etc. Use that number as a reference number on the FedEx site (REFERENCE number, not tracking number).

AWESOME!! Thank you!
 
I love my egg cooker! Since we don't have a stove at work, only the microwave for cooking and a small toaster oven, it works great for making a great breakfast. I got two orders for it in two days. I could never make poached eggs to save my life, and now they come out perfect. I may have to order a second one for me just to keep at home so I don't have to transport it back and forth!

I'm in Middletown also. I got an email from FedEx that said my launch items would arrive on Friday. I'm with you 3 feet of snow was way too much for me to handle.
