That is very odd... Does the order appear on your bank/credit/paypal statement?

Maybe tracking is WORTH oh, 14 the way the do it. Sheesh.

I guess no one company can do all things well, and keeping track of their shipments and orders may be "Chef's" Achilles heel.

It's not surprising I worked in "high end" restaurants (front AND back of house) and like, chefs are like the most temperamental creatures on earth. They're kind of like a wild boar, coupled with a goat.

Mostly, I worked back of the house long enough to get the chefs to love me... I got better tips when the food arrived on time.

Also, never, ever ever work in food service (from McDonald to, IDK the Four Seasons) if you ever expect your food to be um, sanitary. Also, as a former waitress I am REALLY hard on them. My husband always does the tipping. I know WHAT is supposed to be delivered in WHAT time frame, French service, everything.

The husband had the PTSD meltdown. I forgot about taxes. A sullen silence rules the house... LOL.

I KNOW. How I will survive those 11 days, I do not KNOW.

I told the husband to file an extension and he looked at me like I was nuts. The meltdown CAME as he was attempting to pack the dog and the computer and the tax stuff to go to DOUGLAS.

I really couldn't say, "Don't bother, I don't want you there." BUT I thought it really hard. Because the Husband and Taxes are like one thing YOU don't want to get near.

I mean, I can ignore the constant phone calls, but if he's RIGHT there asking me for stuff and etc., OH it's BAD and this has been a BAD year. I took the highest deduction I could on my taxes and I almost had them withhold more. Because SSDI does not STOP for 9 months until you return to work, it's this incentive thing. Mind you I am not complaining or anything but it's going to be UGLY. LOL.

What I don't understand is how someone already got their order that was placed on the 29th. That's four days after ours shipped.
Different port of entry?
Different staff?
Staffing absences/vacation short-handed issues?
Was the order large enough Feds might be wanting import taxes/tariffs?
Broken down transportation?
Incorrect/incomplete delivery address?

Consistency, and streamlining are not general hallmarks of the US government.:oops:
Inclusion of hazardous materials that might warrant extra screening, handling, or different delivery procedures?
What's strange also is the order I placed on the 29th doesn't show up on my account.
Have you checked with the financial group (bank/cc/paypal) to see if they put a hold on it? 3 orders in six days, to/from the same overseas business... maybe they put a hold on it, suspecting fraud?:confused:

I place one on the 23, one on the 25, and one on the 29. I haven't received any of them. I emailed them a couple days ago but never got a response. I'm starting to get aggravated.

Strange. There was a problem with my first Chef's order a while ago - they didn't have record of the PP payment and I hadn't realized that was what was holding up my order. Once I contacted them, Chef's got right back to me, I provided the PP transaction info and the order shipped that day. I found them to be very responsive and helpful.

Sadly, it could also be a PO issue. I had an order go from FL to MA via the western route - out to OK or ND I forget now, but it was a well traveled package before it got to me. I hope your packages show up soon!

    Somewhere between here and there
    I have shipping emails on all three orders. The first order was just three flavors. I made a post on FB and they responded. I asked when I should expect a response from the message. With the time difference, it’ll be sometime tomorrow. By the way, no vape mail today. No surprise.
