Not me yet- but I'm optimistic!
 
I've got 2 for about $150 total.
 
How do you know? Did you get an email or did your customers tell you? I have one from my son that I helped him with and haven't gotten notification. Don't know about others.
 
It's listed under online orders on the shipment status screen
 
It can take a bit for it to show up....it's not instant.
 
...hmmm mine is still blank but he ordered around 7 so maybe it's just not updated yet.

I have an order in and it's not showing up yet either on Order Status.
 
it took a while last night to show up

And that was probably BEFORE they were getting slammed. Right now, the website is hit-or-miss for me. Sometimes I get through, sometimes i don't (was checking links for my emails, etc)
 
I've got one so far that I received confirmation for! Had someone try to get to my site a couple of minutes ago and my site was down for some reason. Hoping it's because lots of orders coming in! ;) Love that they are doing this the same month as the Free for All! :)
 
All of the sites are up and down...I'm talking to my mom who is having a hard time getting to my site at all!
 
I have had someone tell me she can't get on my site also. Hope she gets through. I'm just starting my business and I would hate to lose a sale!

Just suggest that she keep trying. I think it will even out as the day wears on and the "early-birds" are done shopping. :) Plus, you have a lot of people just "looking" right now I bet.
 
I have 3 orders that I know of. None showing up on shipment yet and now one isn't sure it ended up with me. Uggg.
 
My mom was having trouble with my link from the newsletter email I sent out (I did it through Connection...not sure if the newsletter one went out yet or not)....so she went to the "regular site" but stopped because it asked for a host # or something that confused her for the outlet. Her order would have been randomly assigned. thankfully, I think we got it. I wonder how many will make that mistake because of the confusion of going through our PWS. hopefully, that stops- since the link is now on our PWS, so they don't have to hunt for it!
 
I lost an order because my customer couldn't get my link to order and went and ordered through the company's website instead of mine. BOO!!!

Bummer! Hopefully you will get a bunch more credited to you.
 
It will take a while for orders to show up on our screens and emails sent to us about anyone that has ordered.. Plus, don't worry about calling HO, time to reach someone in cust service is over 5 hours and tech support has over 30 min wait...good luck everyone...orders are flying out the door. Glad to know that this is the month to have big sales for new fall product!
 
a friend told me she ordered but it is not showing up anywhere?
 
I just got an email with a list of my morning orders....I placed my order around 9am Eastern time. My emails went out before that.I got 5 orders from customers!! $490 so far!
WAHOO! That's the most for me in awhile (business is on simmer).
 
I just got an email of online activities...be patient...they are coming...they are just slammed right now......I have almost $500 to start....glad it is in the free for all month!
 
I just got an order from a lady I don't know but am very grateful for!

Fabulous! I just got my email form HO and I have 2 orders totaling $140. Nothing so far under Order Status.
Good Luck Everyone!
 
Is our commission the same for these outlet sidewalk sale items?
 
Finally got a notification email. Yeah!
 
I got 4 small orders so far. I am hopeful to get about $600 in sales during this sale because I want to hit $100,000 in career sales. Praying that this happens this week for me.

This is the first "sidewalk sale" that I have seen in my 5 years with the company, but I know that we do get our regular commission on Outlet orders, just like any other order, so I would assume that we will with this.

Yes- I agree. If we weren't- the company would have made a big deal out of it. So regular commission it is! And PC
gets to clean out their closets!
 
Supposedly I have a few orders, but I'm not seeing anything yet. Fingers crossed!!
 
Got an e-mail from HO and over $600 in orders.....all are from advertising it on Facebook. A lot of people ordering the rectangle baker. I had a couple people want those and came back to order and they are already gone.....that was a deal. I hope PC does this periodically. Thanks to them for doing it this month. That will really boost our free-for-all!
