#2151 — Woven Rectangle Tray
 
Thank you for the update, I just submitted a show today and a customer ordered it, hopefully she will receive it.
 
That is nuts.
 
They must have stopped making a lot of the discontinued item earlier this time than before. I do not remember any selling out this fast in the past.
 
I agree Jennifer!

Now the chillzanne stuff doesn't surprise me, since sooooooooo many people LOVE it and are freaking out that they will be gone....

I was surprised to see the WS close to out of stock, though!
 
It was already on backorder in May when it was part of the host special. This is just poor planning IMHO.
 
I wonder if they are being discontinued due to delivery problems as well as price.

I wonder how much of the delay is due to the Olympics! China is on shut down for over two weeks! They are trying to keep the polution down.-
 
Hello! Thank you for the update on the Woven Rectangle Tray. I am sad to hear that it will be discontinued, but I understand that inventory is limited. I will make sure to submit my Show orders by Monday, August 18 to ensure that I can get this item for my customers before it sells out. Thank you for always keeping us informed about product updates. Looking forward to seeing what new items will be coming our way soon!
