The Lights Are On But No One's Home at FAIR

[Kenngo1969]

I had a choice between ordering Ellis Shipp's Pearl of Great Price Commentary from the FAIR Bookstore or from Amazon.  I placed my order for 2 copies on or about November 14.  [Obviously, I should have gone with Amazon.  At least, in that event, if my order had been terminally delayed, I would know that.]

Two or three days ago, I sent an email including my order number and inquiring about its status.  Nada!  Crickets!  Should I just kiss that fifty bucks goodbye?  (Lesson learned!)  Should I send smoke signals or a homing pigeon?  Which direction?  Any ideas?

What address did you send it to?  I am not seeing your name in the general inquiries.  
 

I will pass on the info to our Bookstore manager.

She felt bad about the delay, it was definitely unavoidable though.  Probably so preoccupied she forgot to hang out the digital version of “out of office till…” sign.

I'm sure the delay was unavoidable.  (I told her she needs an assistant, and that, yes, she's that important! )

Come to think of it, I'm hoping this wasn't Shipps' book, but Smoot's.  I guess we'll find out.  It doesn't hurt to have more than one Pearl of Great Price resource.
