[quote name='Chitown021']Dammit I ordered mine back on July 1st and still haven't gotten a confirmation e-mail.[/QUOTE]
Don't worry about not getting confirmation emails. I got confirmation emails for my first 2 vistas, and then didn't get confirmation emails for the next two. But, in a support email, they had recognized that I had ordered a 3rd one (I hadn't ordered my 4th one at the time) even though I never received a confirmation email for it.
In short, not receiving a confirmation email is no cause for alarm. Sometimes you will get them, sometimes you won't. Confirmation emails have no bearing on whether you receive your prize or not.
As for the hearing about them sending orders on Friday, I've never heard that, but by this monday it will have been 2 weeks since the backorder emails started going out, so we should start to see people getting prizes again by next week, or at least hear that people are getting shipping confirmation emails.
AND PLEASE everyone reading this, STOP confusing the two types of confirmation emails. One kind is the kind you get usually right after ordering your item (the one we don't give a crap about). The OTHER kind is a shipping confirmation email, which is the one with a TRACKING NUMBER. That is the one we want to hear about. PLEASE tell us all whether you got an email saying your item has been shipped with a tracking number included. BUT, no one cares whether you got the email that says the shipping date is in August, with no tracking number!
