Please no...dont let it get that far....I have sold a bazillion of these things already. Everybody wants them. Here is an email I just got from my upline who got it from Marla :

ExecuFlash

One Pampered Chef Lane, Addison, IL 60101-5630

from Marla Gottschalk, Chief Executive Officer

Good morning.

Congratulations on getting the spring selling season off to a strong start. Your efforts have made the new Mix ‘N Chop an instant best seller! In fact, your sales have again exceeded our expectations.

I wanted to personally thank you for all of your e-mails telling us the Mix ‘N Chop was selling faster than even you expected. As a result of your feedback, we have been able to work with our vendor to dramatically increase our incoming shipments.

However, until our vendor is able to fully respond to our increased demand, we may experience periodic backorders. I want you to know that we are receiving large weekly shipments and will fill all orders. We will keep you informed of the status of the Mix ‘N Chop and will continue to do everything possible to ensure your customers’ satisfaction.
 
Thanks, Cindy. Carolyn posted this earlier today on another forum with the subject Execuflash. I am glad they have a heads up on this. From what I understand this is also a result of many of us writing in telling HO that we are selling lots to get them moving faster to get more in stock. I sure hope it doesn't get that far into a stop sell situation.
 
What? I'm submitting a show tomorrow and I'm placing my order!!!
 
They're still available, but might be backordered in the near future.
 
not really surprised...........everyone wants it! It is just too cool!

Its just a warning that they've sold so well, that we can probably them to be on backorder from time to time. Thats great they are selling well, I just hope PC can keep up with the demand and we dont end up facing a Stop Sell in the future! I agree it a cool product - I LOVE mine - and I was really iffy on this at first!
 
Sold several at my last couple of shows. Hope they stay available.
 
They are on backorder right now. But according to the e-flash they are close to keeping up. Don't worry yet.
 
ack! I have two shows with a few of these ordered at each show! I LOVE my MnC... I used it last night to mix the meatballs for the Pan-Asian Meatballs. SO much easier then doing it by hand.
 
Ok....Am I the ONLY one here who hasn't been overly impressed with the Mix-n-Chop? I can mix up my ground beef & sausages much easier with one of the nylon spoons. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here?
 
Tammi -- you're not alone. I like it, but I don't LOVE it. I'm so used to using my bamboo spatulas to break up my meat, that I forget to grab the thing. To me, it doesn't work as good as people claim. And -- I HATE that the meat sticks to it....uggghhh!
 
I haven't used it, or purchased it....I love my mix n' masher that was new to last season....It works so well with breaking up ground beef, I can't see buying this new product just for that. Don't get me wrong, my customers talk it up themselves and still buy it....I just say I don't have it "yet"!
 
The Mix n Chop is the greatest tool. I have sold tons of them. At first I was a little apprehensive but then when I saw what it did ... WOW. Everybody who browns hamburger/sausage should have one of these. STOP SELL ... I hope not!!!! This tool is the best thing since sliced bread.
 
Well I hope not too. I just got an order for a couple. But it's not something I wanted for me or used yet...guess I'll have to add one on for myself hmmmm
 
I don't even have to talk about these to get at least a couple orders per show. Everyone is loving them. I do use it and have been very happy with it.
 
I talk about it at my shows but I still have not sold 1 so it is definitly not a top seller for me.
 
At my last party people just loved the new measuring spoon.
 
I just submitted my show and ordered two. I've sold about 3 of these so far.
 
Oooh, yes. Folks love the new easy adjustable cup & spoon as well.
 
I have love the mix n chopper too. Even before I bought it people were ordering it. So I had to see what all the fuss was about. I love mine. I haven't had the problem of it sticking. It works great. I just found out that they are on backorder from my last show. I just turned in another show this morning with more on it. I sure hope they are able to fill them.
 
Yep, I turned in a show last Thursday that had 3 of them on it and I found out today that they are BO'd. Oh well.

EXACTLY!! That's what I meant when I asked if I was doing something wrong..... the meat sticks to it, then I end up grabbing another utinsel to try to unstick the food! ugggg....I hate to do dishes anyway.
 
Mine worked great when I used it last week.
 
4 Back ordered Mix N' Chops......not shipping until April 23, bummer!!!
 
We all just got an email saying that all orders for the mix n chopper placed from March 30 through the week of April 2 are backordered until April 23.
 
Yup - just ygot my email - i am selling those things like freakin' hot cakes!!!
 
Oh! I thought that I got it because I placed an order for 4 on March 31...oops :)

I don't even bring it to shows with me - they find it in the catalog. I may have to put it in my TTA for shows...I'd probably sell even more!
