Did anyone else get this email from HO?

Dear Debbie,

that currently contain items on back order. This information will also
appear on the packing list included with the initial shipment of each

Qty: 1
Est. Ship Date: Dec 14, 2006

I took off my host's name for privacy sake but I am so upset. Does this mean that they just aren't getting enough inventory from vendors? I was so relieved to hear the Decorating bottles and deep dish baker are back on sale. I would be so devestated if something else went on backorder in DECEMBER!!! The only good thing is that she used to sell PC, so she'll understand but I'm still a little embarrassed about the whole thing.

Debbie

It probably went on backorder because there were knives on host special in October.

There are quite a few items on backorder. Backorder I can live it, it's a reality of the retail life. But another STOP SELL would make me nuts!!!

This and the silicone whisk are both on backorder. The email I got said they expect delivery next week and the week after. So it's a little late, but not a huge timeframe.

Yeah I got that one too... Here is to hoping they get it for Christmas

I got an email today that the Lift & Serve is on backorder! I hardly sell any of these!
