Listen man what you're describing is basically how it went when I ordered from Trip. Some days went by, a label was then made, and then there was no movement on the label for a week, just "shipping label created." I didn't say shit to Trip because my plan was to have the gear tested and provide an accurate, uninfluenced review of his services.
The gear showed up. Testing came back good. I don't think you're being treated differently from any of his other customers. If you think differently, then help us all out and send your shit in for testing. Trip offers a testing credit.
