Ordered a couple tank tops with awesome artwork from a small business for my birthday with the intention of wearing them this summer...

Well uh, birthday was almost two months ago now and I still don't have the shipping notification. I emailed a couple weeks ago to check that my order was received and they said the shirts are in production... wondering if I should email again because they initially said orders would ship in 8-10 business days after the order was placed. :/

Similarly, the Vagrant Story figures (AT LONG LAST AFTER 20 YEARS OF NO OFFICIAL MERCH FOR MY ONE TRUE FANDOM) got delayed again. I think I pre-ordered last September for a February/March release. Was not too disappointed that in January they got pushed back to May, because hey - birthday time. But then in April they got pushed back to July. So at the very end of June, they got pushed back again... but this time only one month further, until August. I just want the creepy immortal jerkwad half of my forever OTP and Ashley's exposed buttocks to display prominently in my house, okay?

E-mail them again. I sympathize with small business and the struggle, but it's not really okay to give someone a deadline, blow past that deadline and then never update them about what happened.

Yeah, I signed up for their newsletter at the time too and every day they're sending out emails about new items/specials and I'm just like... wtf... if you haven't even sent out orders from almost two months ago...

I found the site via a FB group who linked one of their sales, and the OP vouched for them being a good site and genuinely do donate to the causes they publicly support, but sometimes they get backlogged - so I'm thinking what I should possibly do is ask the group if other people have received their orders yet. (This same group also had someone post a sale on some specific shoes about two weeks ago, and this week like ten different people posted showing off their new Toms, hahah.) It might be helpful to find out if this is a widespread issue or just my order. If it's just me then definitely I should email again soon. I don't want to seem pushy because they make cool stuff and their profits go to causes I like, but things do sometimes slip through the cracks.

Definitely ask the group but regardless of the answer, email the business again. If something has happened to delay production, it's not rude to ask to be updated. And if it's just fallen through the cracks, it's just a little reminder for them.
