...my host is really wondering why my other host who's show was submitted the same day has her stuff already and hers hasn't gotten to the picking stage yet!
 
Could be due to a payment issue, UPS was full, smaller orders get shipped faster, backordered items will slow down the picking stage because they need to make sure they have everything else, etc. You can always call HO to see if the website isn't updated completely or if there is a problem.

It's probably the "smaller orders get shipped faster". I thought it was by the order received so when I saw that the other one had shipped yesterday I told her hers would be right behind it, but it isn't. I called them yesterday and they said it wasn't in their system yet which meant it wasn't in the picking stage.

It is still not picking! So if it ships tomorrow she will get it 9 days after her show. Everyone raved about how fast PC always sends their stuff out, juts my luck... LOL.
 
I remind everyone that shipments take a little longer at the end of the month. It helps potential hosts see that booking in the beginning or middle of the month results in faster shipments!

Well see, my first show was August 31st, and I thought that one took a little longer because of end of season plus the holiday (Labor Day). It actually shipped quicker than this one will though!
