Heh.... well it was all one thing after another.....
First it was ordered a week (or so) before Chinese new year so when it didn't ship prior to that it was going to be a minimum of 1 week before anybody had a chance to look at the order. Then of course the Chinese new year got extended due to the Covid lockdown(s), and once those lockdowns were lifted I got notification that it had shipped, but the tracking they gave me never worked so I'm not sure if it was bogus or just happened to get lost in the initial wave of shipments after the lockdown was lifted.
It's all good though.... I've got another one on the way and the tracking on it is at least proceeding as expected.
Edit: It was also only $36 in the midst of a global pandemic that's disrupted pretty much every supply chain on the planet so I wasn't freaking out over whether or not it was fulfilled. In the end, I won't be surprised if I end up with two of them for the price of one.
