Sensors on back order

I ordered my Minimed glucose sensors on the 13th and they still aren't here. In the past I have had them arrive 2-4 days later when they were back ordered. Anyone else waiting for these sensors? Seriously if they don't ship them by Wednesday, I'm going to threaten switching to Dexcom.

They have 4-packs available; I'm not so low I'll run out, but if I were, I'd try to wheel and deal with them for the 4-packs, since the 4's are a little more expensive.

I just got them today. 19 days is record maximum time for any order I've placed online... and that is a lot of orders.

The rep from minimed told me today they are about 3 weeks back ordered.

Which will work out *just* about right for me...I have come to realize I cannot live without "knowing" what my blood sugars are at a glance...
