I want to update my Going, Going Gone...so which ones are no longer available?

Here's what I have found:
Woven Rectangle
and
Chillzane Mini Bowl are no longer available to be ordered.

Twixit/Towel combo is getting limited.

I didn't see anything about the Chillzane Rectangle - unless I missed it. Does anyone know if it is limited??

Is there anything I am missing?
THANKS!
 
It was backordered for a bit, but I don't recall seeing anything about it being limited yet.
 
My PPP is telling me the Woven Rectangle is on backorder. Is it no longer avail?? I have an order for one!
 
I just submitted a show w/the chillzane rec. server. It had that lovely exclamation point in the yellow triangle meaning BO. I hope it goes thru!

I thought I saw that the last date to order the Woven Rectangle is 8/18. Can it still beordered after that date??

Don't take my word for it - I am not sure either!!

This is why I started my other thread about having one central location updated by HO listing the status of these products as they are sold out/limited/issued cut off dates. This way we are not always second guessing ourselves!!
 
Talked with HO, you are right! Crap! I had an order for one.

My question is why are the Woven Rectangle and Mini-Chillzane still listed on the Back order page if order cut-off date has already passed?

Does this mean these items can still be ordered? Or are the ones that were ordered before the cut-off still on back-order?
 
Chillzanne Mini Bowl is Stop Sell. If you add it to a show your show will be put on hold and you will have to call and have it removed from the order.
 
Ugh!! I called HO today and asked, "Which retired items can I definitely NOT order anymore?". She said the Chillzanne Mini Bowl and the Woven Rectangular Tray.

So much mixed info....
 
I was just wondering what the yellow triangle meant. I thought it meant it was discontinued but I guess it just means it's on back order. Do you usually tell your customer that it's on BO or do you just submit it anyway? I'm new here, BTW.

If it shows a triangle next to something, I go to the Finish tab and it tells you what all the triangles mean. If its just on backorder, I go ahead and submit anyway. I usually get an email a couple of days later telling me whats on backorder and when it'll ship. Thats when I call the customer and they have all been okay with it.
