Received tracking number email Sep 6, received bands Sep 9.

I agree, it was not very efficient. I still can't cancel one of my bands, even though I don't need the second one.

As an update to the above issue I had, I was able to change my nephew to the primary guest and used the Chat feature on the DVC site to do it. It was actually quite easy. I think I have to check in again, but not a problem. I am just relieved the bands are going right to him so the kids can wear them while traveling. They asked me before if it was OK to do that and were so excited about it.

Ok, thanks! So I guess our bands haven't shipped at we're less than 3 weeks from the stay. Grrrrr

Or, maybe they'll just arrive today.

Did you get the tracking number email? I am hoping either my nephew or I get the notice for theirs. It stresses me out that they are waiting until 11 days before to start processing the bands. It took 9 days from the last customize date for them to arrive. If one glitch happens during transit, they may not arrive on time.

Nope! Never had a email with a tracking number this time. Always have in the past though so I was assuming they had not been sent. The only message I continued to see was a similar one of having up until such and such a date to customize for pick up at the hotel.
