My Lowes called me yesterday and said my mixer won't be in til December!! Yikes! She asked again if I wanted to cancel and I said "heck no!". No way would I cancel that deal, I'll wait. My hubby says they probably want us to cancel.

One lady I talked to said said that that price was a mistake and so many people ordered them and that's why they're B/O like this. I mean think about it, I'm sure they don't come close to selling the Metallic series like this normally so they probably don't have that many made. I would have NEVER spent $500 on that mixer! At $150 everyone and their mother probably has ordered one.

I returned my defective mixer and they special ordered me another. No problems at all and it was the same gentleman that helped me as before. They were very nice. : )

so now I am waiting on the new one, should be in a in a week. : )

Sitting in a corner, hands wrapped around knees, nervously rocking back and forth, full of hope (or denial?) ...mumbling my new mantra: I'm sure mine is on its way, I'm sure mine is on its way, I'm sure mine is on its way....

my pink ka arrived home today I'm so excited.. I hope everyone's arrives soon... I'm hoping for you!

icantcook--Love your ticker--lol I am afraid to put one up(mine is due the 8th supposedly--lol) and I am still in obvious denial. I ordered a brushed nickel and even though they said it is "ordered" and not showing any backorder, I am thinking I will see if Aug 8.......of 2009!!! lol. I will wait--my classic works--a bit shaky, but it is close to 7yrs old. What! That must be at least 100 in mixer years, eh?

If it ends up being indef and they refund my $$$--oh well, I just spent $$ on my hair today so it will go to that fund--lol

I feel bad for all of you having problems with your order. I was told the 8th, then I got a phone call on wed that it was in. I went in, picked it up no problem, took it hoem and it looks great. Although it looks smaller than my 5 qt now, but at least its not as heavy.
Well good luck to all of you and I can;t wait to use it.

Some of you may want to check with lowes. I waited for mine. They said that they would call when it was in. I was by their store and stopped in to see if by chance it had gotten in yet. They said that they had called and left a message on my answering machine. It had been in for a week.
Come to find out they had typed in the wrong phone number. Poor Laverne sat at the store a whole week thinking no one loved her!!!!!!! lol
So you might want to check and be sure that they have your number correct also.

DING DONG! I just remembered that I have a friend in me Lowes receiving department! I didn't forget I had a friend, I thought she had changed companies, but she didn't! So I called my buddy and she looked my account up. Says, no it isn't on this truck today (it was supposed to come today). She called the vendor and they finally told her it is on backorder. (I've only been asking the appliance department workers for this question for a week!) She asked the vendor for an ETA, and they said they couldn't give her one. So she calls me back and gives me the news. I asked her about the ETA, and she said that was strange, it was the first time an vendor couldn't give her the ETA.

A week ago, I would have been OK with this info - I could wait. But this last weekend, my Sunbeam stand mixer was starting to shake, and one of the beater spinning gears must be off. The one on the left spins normally, but the one on the right spins just a bit slower, so eventually the two spinning beaters lock each other up. Locked up on me twice while making my BC this weekend. I'm wondering if I should call and see if changing to a paint color rather than metallic will get me a new mixer sooner? This is the second SB that has gone kaput on me. The company was really great about replacing my first one, I don't know if they will do it again. What do y'all think?

Will Sunny hold on until Penny can come rescue her? Such drama!

what is an ETA?
i was thinking the samething....what about switching to a regular color..i have my professional one no problems with that baby (575watts )
this one was to take it with me to my country... next year...but im scared to not get one at all! if my hubby it is right.... so far my friend in massachussets got her color one in 2 weeks! and i see you guys got the color one too....what to do! ....i going to wait a little... lets see what they say next ....

Estimated Time of Arrival

Guess I'm going to have to change my ticker...

:::grinning an evil grin:: maybe if I wait till everyone changes their order from brushed nickel to another color, it will free one up for me--lol

I guess I will wait till the cows come home all by themselves---think I will take the receipt off the fridge so I won't be constantly reminded.

The promise of an expensive mixer for a VERY cheap price was fun! Love *bargains*.

Okay, my mixer is here and no one called. Something just told me to call and she was so polite...."ummm, yes it's here". Okay?? No one called....but I "ain't" mad...IT'S HERE!!! My pink baby is here.

Well I got the call today. My Brushed nickel is backordered. They wanted me to cancel. I said not a chance. They said the earliest would be 90 days - up to 6 months .

Oh well what can I do. wait wait wait. I better put reminders up to call periodically to check if it is in.

Good luck to everone else.

I also got a call again today saying mine are on backorder. They called me last week to tell me they were on backorder but my blenders were in. I drove 20 miles to get there, then they could not find them!!! They said it must have been some mistake! I said so with gas prices at $3.60 a gallon, who is going to pay for my gas since I drove all the way here for nothing! The girl just laughed. I said you think this is funny? Let me talk to the manager.
After speaking with the manager, I am getting 10% off of my total bill when they finally come in! She wrote it on my receipt so she would not forget! That is going to be like getting 1 mixer for free!!
I now have no problem waiting!!

My chrome baby SHOULD be in today.... My husband called last week and they said nothing about anything being back ordered. We will see I guess.

My Metallic Brushed Nuckel is due for arrival TODAY!! I also clled last week and it was "on schedule". I'd better go clear the counter so I will have a place to put it b/c once I pick it up, I know I will want to mix something.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I love living in my baking fantasy land--they know me here and the cakes are good!!

I believe in miracles but I think this one even God would need some help with-lol

Best get off line, I might miss "the call".

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Well, the other store that I ordered more at just called and left a message saying they are on backorder until the end of the year!! I am going to call them right now! This is a crock!!! I wanted these as Christmas gifts! This stinks! I was will to wait for the ones from the other store but not these!!!

!

I just got "THE CALL"........"Nicollete" is backordered until the end of December! The nice lady said I could pick any color in the plain series and have it shipped immediately.......Are you kidding me?........I'm here till Jesus comes, might as well be waiting on two things!

Besides at least I will get something good for Christmas this year, even if it is from me! Hey, I HAVE been a good girl!

I called Lowe's just for a laugh. The lady said it is due today, but they process the truck around 1 or 2p so call later on.



Okay, me thinks THEY are living in a fantasyland, not me!! bahahahaha

I am not sure about waiting till Christmas vs just choosing another color and getting it sooner. I think I WILL wait. If I'd wanted another color, I would have ordered it in the 1st place.

What is funny is that the associate over the phone--when I first decoded to get one--said he was checking the stores' interface to see what colors were available for that $150 price. When I said how about red or green(which is ironic since most of us won't see ours till Christmas, ie the colors!), he said all he had available was the metallic ones and that is when I got the 3 kiddos ready, myself in the car and carseats and got over to Lowe's in 15mins--the store is 10mins away, sooooo record breaking time.

I probably will get "the (backorder) call' later today. Just have to make the final decision to wait or not. I just think the nickel would look good anywhere. (except in a box in a storage warehourse--lol).

Has ANYONE gotten their metallic one? They should know how many they have when they look it up on the computer when ordering. Seriously, so many stores can tell you # they have all over the country--example, fine china at any of the registries.

Whatever! It's fun seeing how many people have viewed this thread too. Must be a record!

I got the metallic one. I had posted earlier that they said they had called me and left a message on the machine. I did not get a call. They had put the wrong number in their computer. Anyhow, she came in on the 25th of July and I finally got her on like the 2nd of August.
I used her last night. Her name is Laverne and my other one is Shirley. (lol)
But if you have one ordered, and you haven't heard from them, I would call!!!!

I will NEVER have the opportunity to have the brushed nickel one again, if I don't wait it out!

I do already have a KA. My mother had it as long as I can remember and I will be 34 this month. I love "OLD YELLER" and plan to still use her too, but "NICOLLETTE" looks just like my other appliances.....including the kitchen sink and faucet!

It took alot of convincing DH that I needed two to begin with. I could never convince him I needed one that I would have to pay over $500 for!

It's not on the website is this in store only???

Man, just got off the phone with the manager at Lowes. He got very snotty with me and if I was actually in the store doing this, I probably would have punched him in the nose!!!
I told him it stinks that I put it on my credit card thinking they would be in in 2 weeks. Now, they will not be in Until the end of the year. I said I am going to be paying interest on my credit card and I don't have anything to show for it!!!
He said, well ma'am this was an error but we honored it anyway. He said we did not expect people to order thousands of dollars in mixers. He said, your probably going to sell them anyway. I paused for a minute, took a deep breath in, and then told him to blow it out his ***. He then gave me the number to kitchenaid and told me to deal with them.
I then asked him for the corporate number and he huffed and puffed then gave it to me.
Time to call the corporate office!

I purchased both my kitchen aids from Kitchen Collection. They are refurbished, but have never had any problems with either. I have 3.5qt and a 6qt professional. You can get a 6qt. professtional, which is the largest and strongest they make for $249.00.

I know that everyone has been talking about the KA mixers from Lowe's for $150. I ordered one myself, but for the people that missed that one or just want a larger KA mixer, Sam's has the Kitchenaid Stainless Professional Mixer for $259. I thought that was a really great price. Here is the online link to see if your local Sam's club has any in stock:
http://www.samsclub.com/shoppi.....tem=164041
I actually saw the mixer in my local Sam's club this morning. I think you can order the red one online if you don't want stainless but I think the stainless is the only color in stores. Well, I hope this helps. If my copper KA mixer doesn't come in, I may be purchasing one of these big mixers myself Laughing

qtkay---

What's REALLY funny is that a BUNCH of Lowe's people are the ones who are probably buying a ton of the mixers and reselling them on ebay, NOT US!!! Your guy should be pointing the finger somewhere else--maybe at himself. Maybe HE has a guilty conscious!

I saw the one at Sam's and I sat there and bowed down to it chanting, "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!!"--lol It is mighty nice looking, although I'd rather have the tilt head. Something i am used to, I guess!
