Well I decided to go ahead and cancel the Monarch and order a Float, but fortunately I checked email first, and what did I find but a tracking number for the Monarch.
So either....
1) The place found one they didn't know they had,
2) Someone returned one and I'm getting that one,
3) They got a shipment sooner than expected, or
4) I'm getting the wrong shock.
It should arrive sometime today, so we'll see!
