I just checked on the website again and my order is still marked as &#8220;Processing&#8221;. Their site uses OSCommerce for the shop, which is some software which I&#8217;m very familiar with. It&#8217;s got all kinds of usefull stuff for automatically emailing customers with updates, so I know for a fact that it just them being useless with their customer service!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve sent them a few emails asking on the status of my order, all were quite polite! I&#8217;ve even tried to phone them during american working hours, but every time I get that blasted &#8216;no one can take your call.
