Does anyone know the status of this basket...when I try to order it...it says backordered? I have a customer that needs it by July 10th. Do you think it will be here intime if I order it today?
 
I sent a show in on the 20th and it already said the Basket was being shipped from BO status! I hope that helps but can't really say for certain it will arrive in time!?!
 
Yea...I wouldn't guarantee it for her. Does anyone in your cluster have one so you could give her the one you all have...and replace it when the BO one comes in?

Its for a wedding gift on the 12th....but like you said I don't think I can garuntee it to be here by the 10th.

Thanks
 
I would say order it anyway...mine came in about six days after the rest of the order arrived. If for any reason it's not here in time, you can always do a certificate that says "A gift has been purchased for you!" or something like that...
 
You can go to CC then Shipment Status and then Backorder Items. Does it give you a date then?

You could always print up a gift certificat with a picture of it on there for her to give. I have done this before when something cannot get here in time.
 
I submitted a show the 2nd week of June and the BBQ basket came the day after i recieved the original order
 
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that the basket you are looking to order is currently backordered. I understand how frustrating that can be, especially when you have a customer who needs it by a specific date. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that it will arrive by July 10th if you order it today. However, I recommend reaching out to our customer service team to see if they have any updates on the status of the basket. They may be able to provide a more accurate estimate of when it will be back in stock and available for delivery. Thank you for your understanding and for being a valued consultant. Best of luck with your order!
