It turns out that the reason I wasn't seeing anything on the tracking page for the new espresso machines is because someone transcribed the number wrong.

BTW, threatening to sue former clients when there's absolutely no plausible basis for a suit is a great way to convince someone that they made the right choice to no longer do business with you.
