You can see your order using the Order Number without any leading characters,
e.g.,

Where is the confirmation email sent to? I don't have my team's password and haven't got anything yet, I'm written as the Lead Mentor on TIMS.

Whichever address was used when filling in the FIRST Choice website, I think.

You do have to login to the FIRST Choice system using your team # & password.
If you are already logged in it goes right to the order list (or maybe it just likes me).

Just got email notice that my FIRST Choice order is packed and ready to ship!

Honestly surprised by the quick turn-around, well done AndyMark!

Worked for me.

Make sure you are doing it correctly (it took me a few reads for my tired brain to get it).

Make sure you're logged in

Get the Order Number from: https://firstchoicebyandymark.com/customer/credits (should say something like "Redeemed for order #CH12345")

Then go to http://firstchoicebyandymark.com/orderdetails/12345 (where you substitute in the correct number)

Note: You cannot view other teams' orders so make sure you type the correct order number

I noticed that the FIRST Choice password is posted again in TIMS.

I noticed that "good alliance partners" aren't on the list...
