At least your stuff actually arrived. Half the time I have to email customer support twice just to get a simple status update on my order.

Man I feel your pain completely on this one. Last month my tracking info went straight to my spam folder and I panicked for a week straight before the box magically appeared.

That is why I always try to order well in advance of needing anything for my assays. You can never trust the delivery estimates right now.

My favorite is when the tracking finally updates after the package has already been delivered to my house. Completely useless system.

Guess we just have to accept this as part of the hobby at this point. Still annoying though when you have experiments planned out.

Some of these smaller suppliers are literally just one guy running the whole operation out of a garage so their logistics are always a total mess.

Exact same thing happened to me last Tuesday. The courier service they use around here is notoriously bad at scanning barcodes.
