God you guys are spoiled....
First of all, last year I waited until December 23rd to get my LDC...without one complaint...it's to be expected when dealing with a small company that things will take longer.
Secondly, they're entire regular shipping department is TWO GUYS!!! They HUNDREDS of orders to fill, it's not gonna happen as fast as other places with an entire workforce dedicated to shipping. They have their sponsored riders coming in to help them ship stuff, I don't see The North Face calling up Wallisch or Martini to see if they can help with some shipping. The entire company is working hard to get you your stuff.
As far as the tracking is concerned, most likely what happens is after all the inventory of a shipment of products is delivered to their warehouse is sorted though, they then print off ALL the invoices and ALL the shipping labels of what they will be able to ship from what came in. Once the shipping label has been printed the tracking number is created and the email is automatically sent, however, they still need to package your stuff up and send it out. ALSO, USPS is notorious for having bad tracking info (I have gotten stuff delivered to me before the tracking info even worked on their site), so take that into consideration.
STOP BITCHING and just wait till your shit arrives...it's REALLY not that hard. AND it doesn't matter when you ordered your product, cause it's a pre-order, you knew you had to wait. Everyone who sold their old outerwear to buy new outerwear is dumb and it's YOUR fault you don't have anything to ski in NOT Saga's, so stop complaining that your NOT getting your shipment BEFORE they initially said it would ship out...cause that's straight stupid.
