Still in the box  :D :D

Will unpack it tonight and read the instructions - but back to work tomorrow - so might have to wait until the weekend to try it out - unless DH gets in before me  ;D

Gosh this thread has inspired me. Have just ordered one. Hope it won't be a long wait. Have been looking for dried veg for homemade seasonings etc  and there is nothing really easily available and not much in the way of variety.  Looking forward to hearing how everyone goes with this new gadget :). Wondering about making a dried version of the stock.

OH YEAH Karen!!!! I hope mine arrives today - though it could be another blow in their customer service if it does as I was promised a phone call on dispatch as more often than not there isn't anyone here for couriers.  :-))

If it doesnt arrive in the next day or two - phone them again and get firmly but politely angry with them - I am wondering if mine was sent because of my slightly stroppy phone call last week  :-X

ordered mine this morning on the internet and just got a phone call .... was expecting them to say there were none in stock but she said that their recent delivery only had white - I had ordered black and quickly changed to white as she suggested.  She said it would be dispatched today along with a complimentary sheet and would be here in Melbourne in 3-4 working days.

Well done Jude - you are certainly getting yours quickly!

Faffa - mine is black.

Once we have all got ours, we can exchange recipes for these too  ;D

Rang them again this morning - told that they are still waiting!!!  When I said that a friend of mine also in Adelaide had received her's they knew who I was talking about and told me that they were lucky to have been able to find just one on a pallet to send.  This doesn't explain how you managed to get yours sent out so fast Jude but lucky you!!!!   I have been waiting for over two hours for the manager to phone me back - he is on a VERY long phone call!!!!!!

 Just got the tracking no. and receipt via email. I think the website said the 9 tray models with no timer are sold out till the end of October. There's just the two of us here at home so I have ordered the smaller 5 tray model with timer.  Maybe that is the reason.

GRRRRR!! Dh has remembered that I ordered black  :-\

Jude I think you are right that you have yours as you have ordered the smaller one - you will be well practised to give us plenty of tips by the time we get ours!

Trudy I think we just need to keep ringing them and see how many more they just might be able to find on a pallet!!

DH suggests that we let the know we are members of an online forum with nearly 5500 members and there is a thread dedicated to their service  :D
