I'm not annoyed that I haven't received the snakes, although obviously I would love to have them, I am more concerned that I haven't received anything that says anything like "You purchased snake A and B. Due to hatching season (or whatever) shipments are running behind, I usually ship on Monday or Tuesdays and will touch base with you on Sunday to make sure you are available to receive your parcel."

If that was the case I would have zero complaints. The snakes look good from what I have seen, he has gotten good reviews. I just hate this limbo of not knowing what is going on. If he ships them next week you are right it's no big deal. Just would like to know what to expect I guess. I am not saying in anyway that he is being irresponsible or trying to rip me off or anything of that nature. Like I said I haven't had any issues with him, and every correspondence I've had with him has been pleasant. Just frustrated with the lack of information.
Have you asked him? I understand your frustration on not receiving a receipt, but it could be that he intends to send it with the shipment confirmation, which isn't scheduled yet if you haven't confirmed your availability to receive them. If he hasn't answered an email where you requested this information, most websites have phone numbers, which are typically better for reaching people who don't sit at their desks all day.
