Help! Have an order that was submitted online through my director's website (because I didn't have mine up yet, so the invites went out through hers) as an individual order shipped direct to her, instead of through my SIL's party.

Is my SIL out of luck for getting credit for this on her party? Will a phone call anywhere help?

I'm lost. But she's so close to the next level of sales -- I really want to help her!
 
The only thing she can really do is order those items again and when the ones she ordered from your director are delivered she can call to have them picked up and get a refund of payment. Her money from the first order will be tied up for that time though - so she needs to know that.
 
It depends. Have you closed your sister's party yet? If not, then you can call HO with the online order number and have them cancel it. Actually your director may have to do that because it's under her name. I had the same thing happen last month and they canceled it forme.

Good to know!
 
Sometimes you can cancel the "wrong" order...but once it gets so far through the process, HO can't do anything to stop it. If it can't be cancelled, then Beth's answer is the only thing that will work.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Yikes - Individual Order Instead of Host" mean?

This message typically indicates that a customer accidentally placed an order as an individual order rather than as part of a host's party. This can happen if the customer does not select the correct host during the checkout process.

How can I correct an individual order that should have been a host order?

If an order was placed incorrectly, you can contact Pampered Chef customer service to request a change. Provide them with the order details and the host's information, and they will assist you in transferring the order to the correct host's party.

Will the host still receive credit for the individual order?

No, if an order is placed as an individual order, it will not count towards the host's party sales. To ensure the host receives credit, the order must be linked to the host's party during the checkout process.

Can I still add the individual order to the host's party after it has been placed?

How can I avoid making an individual order instead of a host order in the future?

To avoid this mistake, always double-check that you have selected the correct host before completing your order. Additionally, make sure to communicate clearly with customers about the importance of linking their orders to the host's party during the checkout process.
