I've not gotten an order confirmation on my last 2 orders, but paying is a bit different on the site now. When you hit pay with paypal you go directly there. I always get my paypal confirmation, but not a MSQC one. I think that is where the difference is. They made changes to the webpage, and probably didn't realize the order confirmation email isn't being kicked out with paypal payments. Shipping seems to take 4 or 5 days, they must be busy again. I've always gotten an email telling me when my order is shipped.

Ordering at the end of the week, you might have a couple extra days of delay since the store is closed on Sunday and Monday, I think. Not sure about the shipping department.
