I submitted a show on May 1st that is still in a 'received' status. Is anyone else experiencing a similar delay? (I realize it was only last Friday and it is during month-change-over, but I'm spoiled by HO's incredibly fast shipping!)
 
I submitted one April 30 and one May 2 and both still say received (even though it says it's shipping orders received through April 30)
You're not alone! :)

Mine that I submitted on the 30th, and resolved a CC on the 1st, is still saying received too. I am also impatient, but I was also thinking that it's probably due to the month end.

Which is why I was aiming to close on the 29th... Oh well!
 
Actually, I just checked, and now it says picked! Yay!
 
I think even though it still says recieved (i submitted on 30th as well), I find that it has shipped and will state that probably later or tomorrow.
 
1 on the 30th & 2 on the 2nd & they all say received....this happens every May & I keep suggesting to let us get the pink products early, because we NEVER have the in time for Mothers Day. :(

Wow, you mean you held and submitted 2 shows in May already???
 
Yep I did them on the 1st and the 30th of april and the hostess wanted the may items and so did all their guests so I turned them in the next day.
 
I also had 2 shows. I had a bunch of orders at an event for HWC. I had several friends also get together and give me some orders at work!! I made a warm caramel nutty brownie and rec'd 150$ in orders!! I want my cute little bag! I turned them both in and am waiting...

same here.
 
So, has anyone seen their status change on their orders? My KE order on 4/30 and an online order from 5/3 still just show "Received". :( Shipment page shows shipping through 5/2 shows- so I don't expect the 5/3 order will have changed yet.
 
I had people order HWC items for mothers day....looks like they are not going to make it Sad :(
 
I submitted a show on 5/2 and it shows it won't be shipped until 5/12. Bummer!
 
I submitted two shows on the 1st and they are JUST now saying that they shipped today.
 
my show held on 5/1 and submitted 5/2 will be received this Sat. PC is really pretty fast with their orders.
 
I called this morning and they said that due to all of the KE done on the 30, there is a delay. I hope I get it soon I need it for a show on Tuesday!!

Are there any consultants near you that you could borrow from if it doesn't arrive in time? If you were here in NY, I'd try and help out.
