Using Party Points for a Barbecue?

Maybe a long shot, but anyone ordered one of the propane barbecue's from Party's points store? I'm thinking of doing so and thought I'd check in to hear the usual Party horror stories before I did (i.e., receiving an aluminum pie pan with a duct-taped wire clothes hanger as handle, together with a box of matches, instead of the expected Q)?

You'll get what you order.

Better hurry up and order..I'm sure PP's not going to stock up their inventory for a long looooong time.

Well, I ordered the Q. Mainly because I have no other use for the points and I almost never play at Party now. Also, despite a personal bias for charcoal, a gas grill will find a home with my family.

I'm reasonably sure Party doesn't keep any inventory of non-branded items (and doubt it keeps any inventory of branded items, though it probably issues binding orders for a run of X particular branded items), but anything to help the hysteria is welcome!

If your order fails, get a metal shoping cart
from any supermarket. Build a fire under it and
BRQ most anything.

What about using party points for stamps to mail hate mail to frist?

After an enquiring email, I received my BBQ a week or so ago. It was as I hoped - a nice entry-level gas grill; sadly no longer available in the Party store, but I thought I ought to confirm that I was not let down by Party in this instance.
