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!
I so know what you mean! Should I have told him that the gal that placed my order told me she was getting some for her family???!!
I am sure he got one for his wife, mother, sister, cousin, cousins cousin and so on!
But, the nerve of him to say that to me!!
I did put in a call the the corp office, someone will be getting back to me within 24 hrs. Lets see what happens!
Well, the ones who are ebaying a ton of them have a special place somewhere. I will tell you though, karma will come and get them. I am not saying this about people who bought some for their family, but for those who literally have no clue what a kitchen aid is but buys 10-20 to make a profit on something that was obviously a one-time deal or a misprint. It is NOT all "just business"--it is wrong, when you darn well know what they are worth, buy a ton and then jack upt he price. And then probably, since their morals are a bit warped, probably are not nice sellers and will stick it to someone who just wants to bake.

Best of Luck!

Hey guys, if you haven't heard from them I would call. They didn't call me. I got tired of waiting and something told me to just call. I picked it up yesterday and used it a minute ago. I have a Professional 5 that I bought from the lady here and the new Artisian Pinky. Still trying to adjust the Pinky to the right height but don't mind the fact that the Professional 5 doesn't tilt. Oh yeah, when I went to get it, the guy was like, "Oh that was a great price on it wasn't it". Hmmmmmmm, I'm wondering, what does this young guy know about a KA mixer and what it's worth.
'CAUSE HE'S PROBABLY SELLING 'EM OUT THE BACK DOOR.... I'm just joking. But it does make ya wonder huh?

Actually from the looks of this thread you have been bugging them from the start. Doesn't look like it's working too well.

Wonder if the assistant manager and others call you Mixzilla?
Well mine was suppose to be in yesterday. I received no call, so it's not looking too good on my end. Will give them a call in a little while. *sigh*

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!
A few years ago, before I became a SAHM, I was the Kitchenaid rep, and Lowes was one of the stores that I called on. I'll tell you why they couldn't give a crap about our precious mixers! Small appliances are nothing to them...they are a nucience. Lowes appliance dept employees make a regular salary, but on the large appliances (washers, dryers, etc) they make a certain $ amount. The more $ an appliance cost, the bigger "spiff" they get. Or if it's a model that the manufactuer is trying to move, there also might be a big "spiff" on it. On our mixers, there is nothing. So when we are calling, calling, calling...they feel that we are wasting their time, and taking time away from their "real" customers who are spending thousands of $$ and making them money. That doesn't take away the fact that they are customer service and should be customer friendly, but chances are that you are the 10th person that day that has yelled, screamed, fought with them over something that they really have no control over. But hey, it's retail...if they don't like it and can't be nice, they should get out of the business...like I did!

I'm so sorry that you're having difficulties with Lowe's... they're not all that bad... the people in the store I went to were really friendly and helpful!
Best wishes for a sooner than expected delivery of your mixers...

Welp I called and mine is back ordered too. Oh well like someone else said it will be a great Christmas present.
I don't want to down the employees at Lowe's though. They have always been very helpful and friendly to me. I will still go there.

I have usually preferred The Home Depot over Lowe's, don't ask me why because I don't know, but because of the great treatment I have received at two different Lowe's concerning the mixers, I will probably consider Lowe's first from now on. And, that is with the possibility of canceling my custom metallic order. The associates have been nothing but polite. We will probably need a new washing machine soon, so off to Lowe's I will go.

Well, I got the call from Lowes. I had ordered the brushed nickel and the man said it was back-ordered and would be 6 months. That will be mid-Feb. I told him I was in no hurry that I would wait. It was kinda like he was waiting for me to say I would come get a refund but he was very pleasant and I was too! I still use my old harvest gold that is 33 years old and has no problems!
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.
Lu
The same thing happened to me! My sweet Lola sat in that store for over a week because they didn't have my number to call and tell me that she came in early! Poor Lola....she's adjusting well now though....on the counter right next to Bruno (my Pro 600).
