Does anyone remember what the last email said about when the spinners would ship in June? They were originally supposed to be off backorder the end of May but set a new date. I have a irate hostess from the beginning of May who is wanting to know and I deleted that email.
Thank you
 
I'm looking, but I don't see it in any of my e-mails.

Back Order Status

The following information is current as of Monday, June 2, 2008:



The following items are currently on back order:

Salad & Berry Spinner, Item #1785
Woven Rectangle Tray, Item #2151
BBQ Grill Basket, Item #2707

Please note: Any customer may cancel an order and obtain a refund if he or she would prefer not to wait for shipment of a backordered item. Please contact the Solution Center at 888-OUR-CHEF for more information.

Does she want a refund?
 
Call the HO and find out.
 
Mine have been about 2-4 weeks behind placing the orders. I had a show close the 1st of May and the salad spinner is a month behind, but had others be 2 weeks behind. Just depends on when the warehouse gets a shipment in.
 
I had a show from late April, and the spinner was the last thing shipped. It was originally estimated to ship Mid-May, but went out right at the end of the month. I got an email from HO in mid-month that it would be delayed past the original estimate, but would still ship by June 2. Is that the note that you got?
 
I called HO because my current show has 1 spinner and about 4 grill baskets on it ...

I was told they were shipping behind the show but I am not sure how far behind.

It looks like my show won't close until I get back from my vacation next Sunday, so I am hoping it's resolved by then ...
 
I Finally Got Mine!I just got my spinner yesterday. :balloon: This was the one I was supposed to get for qualifying in my first 30 days. That was May 23.
 
I had an end of April show that just received the salad spinner this week. And the grill baskets have been delivered too.
