I was just on CC and realized there is a few new items added to back order list. Here is what it said....

The following information is current as of Thursday, May 1, 2008:


The following items are currently on back order:

Salad & Berry Spinner, Item #1785
Dots Cup (set of 2), Item #2073
BBQ Grill Basket, Item #2707

What a month to have the Spinner on backorder with everyone starting to want salads LOL
 
That's probably why it's on back order. :) And possibly because more new consultants earned it in the last recruiting promo than they planned. Rich Hlava from HO, who is in charge of ordering products, among other things, mentioned at the regional on Tuesday that it can be very hard to know what inventory levels to have on hand. Depending on the product, they're currently ordering from suppliers for August's forecasted sales.
 
Not to mention it was an April host special and kit enhancement!
 
Wow....yeah hard to detemine what will be sold....certainly wouldn't want Rich's job!

Hi there! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I know how frustrating it can be to have items on back order, especially when they are in high demand like the Salad & Berry Spinner. Rest assured, our team is working hard to get these items back in stock as soon as possible. In the meantime, we have plenty of other great products to help with your salad needs. Happy cooking!
