FYI

We just wanted to give everyone a potential "heads-up". While this rumor can neither be confirmed nor denied yet, our sources tell us that Wal-Mart will be featuring the Cricut as a Day-after-Thanksgiving doorbuster for $139.99.

and just why would this news surprise any of us?

It certainly doesn't surprise me! In the spring PC even shipped the Cricut to a certain chain of stores (not to mention any names!)while informing smaller independents that they would have to wait another month for their first shipment. The chain was already selling the machines before the smaller stores even had a chance. So for PC to put the restrictions on us for pricing but allow Walmart to undercut us comes as no surprise. Us independents just can't win!

This appeared in the new Michaels newsletter. Why is Michaels price cutting Cricut when there are price restrictions on it????

I am so frustrated with Provo Craft & WalMart I can't even talk about it calmly! The Cricut inventory I have in stock just turned to junk before my eyes!!! If I would have known WalMart was going to carry the Cricut machine, I never would have ordered any!!!

Our Walmart and Shopko have them and I was sick when I saw it, but I am happy to say our customers bought all 4 we had in stock Saturday.
They are starting to get that Wal mart usually carries seconds and rebuilds.
This eases my mind, but I am still incedibly frustrated with Provo. We couldn't sell that many all summer because we couldn't get them in, now when they finally have them- everyone in the market has them!!!!
