Just got this in my email:

We’d like to share some information with you about one of our Help Whip Cancer products. To date, you have sold over 110,000 Pink Nylon Knives, which greatly exceeds our forecast. This is great news for our campaign, but unfortunately we had to place this product on backorder as of today.

We anticipate shipping the back-ordered knives beginning later this month.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

At first I thought the note was saying YOU sold 110,000 knives! :eek: LOL. I really dislike when things go on backorder. For my HWC open house fundraiser in early May I sold 22 Mix 'N Chops, all of which went on backorder. I delivered all the products, now I have to go deliver those. With gas at $3.47 a gallon, I pretty much said goodbye to my commission!!
 
Diane,
If your open house customers are in "clumps" geographically, how about meeting them in groups at some central location, like a fast food restaurant or coffee house. Then you wouldn't be driving all over creation, and they wouldn't be coming all the way to you, either.

Yeah, that is what I thought too! LOL I did sell some but NOT that many!!:D
 
I wonder if it will become part of our normal line like the mini whisk and the microfiber towels?
 
It used to be, with the nylon fork. They were black, like the other nylon tools.I think I only ever sold one.

There's a few that are close, and some will be at a family party this weekend, but I have a lot of "strays".

Even though postage went up, it's cheaper than a gallon of gas. Just head for the post office.
