A host just called and was sorting her order and was missing 4 items. So I kept her on the line while I went online and did the adjustment. She called back about 1/2 hour later VERY embarrassed that they had found one item under the paper packing materials... hidden under stuff. I emailed the solution center about her finding it... my question is this... has anyone had this happen and did they read the emails and follow through or do I have to try and get a real person tomorrow and make sure?
 
I would try to call HO. I found that talking to someone is the easiest and fastest way. Sorry to hear about the missing items.
 
Honestly, I'd just wait for a return email. I wouldn't waste my time on the phone.
