I have never had this experience before either. I bought the bag through one of my NM SAs, who always gives me the tracking number. But she located the bag at Chanel in Fashion Island, where it was rung up and shipped and where they refused to provide a tracking number. I work in NYC and used to buy all my bags in person there or in Short Hills, but during the pandemic have had at least a dozen bags shipped, most located through this same NM SA (whose name I received through someone on this forum, so thank you!), and this is an unpleasant first.
