Awhile back, PC put out a list of discontinued items. I beleive they were some of the fall/winter products. I just had a past guest email me and ask that I order them for her. Isn't it too late?

Yep, you could dated an individual order back to February, but that would have needed to be in before March 31... sorry!

It is too late unless you have a February Show that hasn't been submitted yet.

Beth, I think that you only have until the last day of the following month to submit a show? (Which would be March 31 for a Feb show)

OMG!! Where did the time go! I forgot it was already April!!! Sorry, Lisa, Jennifer is correct!
 
I submitted an order at the very end of March (dated Feb.) for Kids Aprons as a gift for my nieces who will be in town for Easter. They're backordered! The email I got indicated expected ship date of 4/16. Yikes!

Sorry about the hijack. We now return to your regularly-scheduled thread. :)
 
I thought they were going to warn us when discontinued products were running low so they didn't have to backorder anything? Do they stop doing that after 2-28 or something?
