Pathfinder, I think with some further investigation on your part that you'll see the shipping on the west coast is a huge Covid driven mess. Really bad. When a shipper calls a freight company, it's generally not for one bike. It's a truck load, and from the time the call is made saying they have a truck load ready to be picked up, there may not be a truck available to do that for several days.
Generally though, you do get a notice with a tracking number right away. The thing is, that number may not show any activity for 10 days because of the problems mentioned above. It's not until you see that tracking number activity that the shipping company has taken possession of your bike, and it's on it's way. Really on it's way.
We waited for a bike where the boat was not allowed into the harbor to be unloaded for days. When it was finally allowed to dock, and was unloaded, the ship yard "misplaced" the entire container. Told us it was nowhere to be found. 10 days later it's located in a remote area of the yard, at the bottom of a huge stack. The bike warehouse got the bike 6 days later, we got our tracking number the next day, and a full week later the tracking number showed it's first activity. So to recap, promised early October, delivered end of February.
I would call them or email them Tuesday for a status check.
I would not plan on having it in time for your vacation.
