A (slight) shipping delay - an explenation + details

[BronzeBeard]

December 12th order here. Hopefully I made the cut, otherwise I will have to cancel my order at the end of the month.

Is the only form of tracking notification SMS?

I rarely have phone service where I live. I do hope they send an email as well.

Did you make a note on your order requesting an email ?
...
But if you "did not ask"......
  

I did not. In my 25 years of ordering things online, I have never had vendor or shipping company text me information. The default has always been email. So defaulting to text sounds quite silly to me. Especially since I didn't own a cellphone until about 2 years ago and the better part of 30+% of the United States lacks cellphone coverage.

But thanks for the tip. I'll probably shoot them an email.
