Never believe anything has shipped until you have a tracking number and the carrier's web site acknowledges they have received it into their system.

Pay with a credit card so you can easily challenge shipping charges for late shipments.

Get used to it. If you are getting a deal on something, somebody along the process is making minimum wage, or close to it, and may not have any care as to your satisfaction.

I agree it sucks. We have contractors writting code for multi million dollar applications, and we find $4!+ wrong all the time, and they just say "oh", and charge us more to fix it... Their company makes a huge amount of money, and these contractors are probably making 1/2 what one of our saleried programmers does, and you get what you pay for.
