It says the 29th, but mine still says received too. I may have to give them a call tomorrow.
 
Call early. I called today at 4:30, and I'm still waiting for a call back.
 
I had a item missing from an order and done an adjustment on the 19th and it has yet to ship and that was before they closed.. I called last week and they said it was in the shipping stage and still nothing...I put in another adj tonight so maybe she will get one of them soon. A whole new group of people wanting to do shows and don't need for to get fed up... I called today and it was a 6 hour wait on a call back....

I'm thankful that I've located a DCB that I can transfer to the guest who needs it but it's been too close for comfort! I am ready for them to get back on their wonderful regular schedule.


So happy to hear that you located a DCB for your customer and I hope the one you are waiting for from HO comes real soon!

I can't wait for my SA Heart Dish to show that has shipped. Hopefully it will be by week's end!:chef:
 
I bought a SA heart dish, since I didn't earn one and want to have it at my shows. I ordered it yesterday, and it's in ""picking" now.

Hate to whine but I earned mine on December 21st (date second show for Dec was sent in), show products received today (1/3) but no signs of my SA Heart Dish being shipped. :cry:

Before anyone comments about if both of my shows were dated in December the answer is yes and my ITP shows 2 shows for December--just thought I would save someone from asking.

I think I might call HO to ask what is going on.
