Temptations Surprise Delivery?

house_cat — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 15:48:24 GMT

I received a package in the mail yesterday, from QVC, to me.

There was no order form in the box, no gift card.

It's an absolutely delightful set of cookie cutter ornaments!

The problem is that I did't order them. Is this something Temptations does regulary, or was there a mistake?

I'm thinking maybe it was part of an order I made during the year and don't remember.

Look at your order history and see if it's listed. The thing that comes in the box is called an "invoice".

Oops! Never thought of looking at my account.

I just checked it and I did not order these. Now I'm thinking I have to call C.S. about sending them back... but they're so cute....

@house_cat. If there is no tracking information of any kind on or in the box I would contact CS and offer to buy them or return them if they email you a postage free label. If you are lucky they will be generous and tell you to keep them. The postage and paperwork involved for them to get the cookie cutters back is probably more than their cost of the cutters.

@Gram W

That's a good idea. I really don't need them, but they sure are cute.

Maybe that's a new Q technique - send out items and hope the customer likes it enough to buy it!

Could someone have sent them to you as a gift? There is an order number on the shipping label CS can check.

Other than my name and address on the outside package, there is no paperwork whatsoever, except for this note. I guess I'll give them a call today. I've dealt with Temptations CS before and they were very helpful.

Maybe you were very good and it's from Santa Clause?

I have no idea how they do gifts from other people, maybe someone sent it to you. I'll ask my sister.

She said there's never anything to indicate who it's from. So maybe you have a secret Santa or something?

I wish I could delete this thread, since it's evidence of my stupidity.

I didn't check the box after DH opened it, until just now.

This note was in it, so I'm assuming it's a nice thank you from Tara and company for being a customer. Well, that's how I'm going to interpret it, anyway... Merry Christmas to me :-)

And all of you, too!

Yes, are you sure someone didn't send you a gift.? I sent Jrs. mini cheesecakes one year and the recepient called QVC saying they didn't order them. The person didn't look and there was a card inside saying it was a gift from me. (By, the way, no one I sent these to ever said they liked them.)

I got a signed copy of David Venable cookbook last Christmas. Just out of the blue it was sent to me. I had not ordered it. There was a note from the QVC staff. Take it as a gift. Enjoy.

I once bought a set of Temptations dinnerware that included everything like plates, bowls but not the mugs. It was an Old World Spice set when spice was a new color for Temptations. When the set showed up there were 4 mugs in the box. I can't remember if they were in the same box as the other stuff or their own separate box since it was several years ago a few weeks prior to Christmas. Anyhow, I just took it as a gift from Tara even though their was no note or anything in it. I still use some of that spice dinnerware and mugs from time to time even today.

THE MYSTERY HAS BEEN SOLVED!

Tonight I got a text from my niece in NY.

She said her kids sent me a gift, did I get it?

I told her no.

Well, guess what?

It was from the kids!

She said there was no option to add a gift message.

LOL Really nice of your niece's kids to send a gift! Thanks for the follow-up!

Yes, it was very sweet of them. We don't normally exchange gifts, which is why it didn't occur to me, but I crocheted each of the kids an afghan this fall, so that was their way of saying thank you :-)
