I had to call one shop 2 times to see where I was in their lineup of mailing out orders after a big sale(it took one day short of a month)...and just a few weeks later they had another big sale so I can't imagine how long those orders will take! <br />I MommyDearesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559961835745701053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251215150036945266.post-48050210310517838062011-02-15T06:12:23.355-05:002011-02-15T06:12:23.355-05:00I could go for some nice weather right about now! ...I could go for some nice weather right about now! It's gloomy and rainy outside.<br /><br />Nice work on the bonus chart! <br /><br />I hear you on the ordering. I stick to my tried and true places. What bugs me the most is if I preorder something, say before Market, and then don't get it till WAY after Market.

I don't mind if I know it has to be special ordered or they let you know straight away that they don't have it in stock but it's annoying when places can't be bothered to let you know.

It is even supposed to get up to 50 here this weekend and I'm excited about that :)<br /><br />I know exactly what you mean about waiting and waiting for an order. Would it be too much for them to at least email you and give you an estimate of the delivery date.

I've been waiting on a chart for over a month from 1 online retailer. There is a blog of shame for bad exchangers....Maybe we should make one for bad retailers.

Brenda @ Country Stitches is very good to buy from, as is The Sampler Girl & Anita's Little Stitches. My break is done, back to stitching.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848774372449510476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251215150036945266.post-31569216149986127792011-02-12T14:02:20.709-05:002011-02-12T14:02:20.709-05:00Sixty degrees sure sounds wonderful!

I agree, waiting for backorders is a drag, especially if you're not aware that the item isn't in stock. I also get annoyed by huge postage costs for small orders.Judy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591607125583963544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251215150036945266.post-42149534346902032012011-02-12T11:58:08.829-05:002011-02-12T11:58:08.829-05:00Your stitching looks great.

Go figure!<br /><br />I usually don't have to place an order as there are several wonderful LNS in Tulsa, but several weeks ago I placed an order to Stitching Bits and Bobs. They had everything and pkg arrived in 4 days.

It may not last, but what a welcome reprieve. <br />I'm with you on the waiting. DSL, 123stitch, and Wyndham Needleworks rarely ever make you wait, because they keep items in stock.
