I am afraid of calling my Lowe's--they may have caller ID and let the phone ring and ring--I talked to 5 people yesterday after ordering it Wednesday--lol

I am going to try to forget it.

If mine is having a problem, they'd best let me choose another color and have some decent colors left!!!!!

Do they sell directly from KA or are there just a certain amount they are getting from their own warehouse?

btw Blue Bell Anniversary Cake Ice Cream is great when trying not to stress over the KA--licon_razz.gif

I think they ship from KA. I got my toaster a few days ago and it had a handwritten "Lowe's" on one side in black Sharpie ink. It also had a Fedex sticker on it.

I was told that when you place an order, it automatically gives a receive by date of two weeks from the date of order. Then, they call the manufacturere and get the exact shipment date. I ordered a Brushed Nickle on the 21st and was told a couple of days ago that it would arrive on the 4th.

let when I called I asked the appliance person this, if it was backordered or canceled how would I have known and he said we would have notified you... which means you would nor should have never HAD to call them other than to have asked when to expect them. I have 6 coming on the 3rd and 2 on the 6th.... remember I am doing the bakery thing though so I ordered a bunch of them, and 2 of them were for my family and friends.... all were the metallic series, nickle, chrome, and copper and none have been cancelled or back ordered..... I would call and ask what the problem is... give me the number I will him and find out whats going on for you, I will give him a good old suthern cup of shut the (*&^ up icon_smile.gif

Hey sugarbakerz, i just spoke w/the lowes.com customer service..they checked alabama for any that are available and the customer service said that none are available in alabama....lowes.com number is 800-445-6397....i wanted to check to see if he was lying to me about it...i had also called KA and they said that lowes would have the information and that these mixers are coming out of lowes warehouse and not from the KA manufacturer so they wouldnt have that info

i called earlier to get ahold of the asst manager (Brian) that told me it was on backorder...i spoke w/another asst manager (Tommy) and told him to get Brian to call me. Tommy just called cause Brian is still out to lunch and he asked if he could help me. Tommy said he pulled up my order and said that Brian hasnt ordered the cinnamon yet so i told him just to leave it as it is w/the BN one...i told him that i will just see if maybe perhaps it might come in eventually and he said ok so they havent ordered it yet...

I am confused--does each state or region have a warehouse or just one warehouse? Would Alabama be pulling from the same warehouse as New Mexico for example?

And why didn't "Brian" do your order immediately? Wonder if he did not put your other order in when he should have.

All that backorder indefinitely means is that they don't have an estimated time of arrival... it could mean 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years, etc... They just want to give you an answer that is vague enough that you can't really do much about if it were on backorder for say, 2 years.

Also, I got an email from my mom. She didn't say anything at all about the mixer, which was what the bulk of my email was about. icon_sad.gif I guess I won't be getting one after all icon_sad.gif It would have made making my birthday cake so much easier!

Well tomorrow is my birthday and I'll cry if I want to, right? icon_cry.gif

I suppose the good news is, with nothing but a whisk, my arms should get buff right? thumbs_up.gif

I just came back from there. Spoke with the store manager and bought the last in stock one. Only problem was when I got home and opened it, someone must have bought it and returned it - it had cake batter on the shaft. I called the store and they pulled the display unit.

Thanks for the heads up!!! I have been wanting a KA mixer for 10+ years now but my ancient Sunbeam is still working and the thought of kicking over $300 was just not happening.

I got the 5 qt, lime green.

Sounds like you guys are having lots and lots of problems with the stores around you. When I ordered mine, it totally sent them all into a tizzy. They had no idea what was going on, but just special ordered it.

They guy at our store was aware of the problem and not in a tizzy. He was a pleasure to deal with and said he would call me back in a few days with the shipping info (going to alaska is different they wait till they get a truck load to come up) and mail me my reciept. He was very nice. : )

someone posted that it is actually till the 29th. Maybe run by your lowe's and ck with the appliances--they could look the prices up on the computer. And see if anything is coming up as backordered.

I know this may be a stupid question, but you have to pay when you special order it, right? Or do you wait till it comes in?
