Philip, There are tracking numbers - for each successful transaction posted to our system, an OrderID is provided. This is meant for you to capture for future reference - or to track later to see what happened with that order.
I sympathize with your position, it is quite unfortunate. I wish there was something further that I could do, but the situation makes that impossible - and for this, I apologize. -- Charles Daminato Life is not holding a good hand; OpenSRS Product Manager Life is playing a poor hand well.
