Hello Aaron,
I placed an order with UCDavis in October and I received an automated email confirming the order immedietely after placing the order. I have not received anything since receiving the order confirmation.
Although I called into UCDavis to find out the status and I leanrt that they are just starting to put together all the orders. They could not confirm when they will ship, but indicated they will start going out late January or Early Feb. No particular order while shipping though.
