What's the Deal with PC's Backorders?

[yummy4tummy]

What is the deal with PC? I have received so many emails on the back orders lately that I can't keep up with them. Luckily (or more unluckily I guess) I have no shows this month and none scheduled for next yet either (working frantically on that) One would think that this multi million dollar company could do a better job of inventory control. I realize they do not have crystal balls but there are systems that work. JMO

I think it's pretty impressive that our products are THAT popular that thigns are selling out - we are better than I thought!!!

YesIt seems like everyday we are getting a new email. What worries me is we have another change over soon and they have not even caught up with the new items from this one yet!

It is pretty annoying though.

I guess it doensn't affect me since I am done with shows now. But I can see concerns too!

At least they give us a "Heads-up" about back-orders, and do a stop sell so they can catch up. I had a host last month that commented on this - she had a Party-lite show in Sept., and there were alot of things on back-order, which they didn't know about until the show shipped to her.....and when I talked to her last week - she was still hoping some of it would ship in time for Christmas (not given a date as to when this will happen!).
She thought it was great that with PC, she knew what items were on stop-sell - and when the Decorator bottles became available, she ordered 4 sets! (and has already received them!)
