Ok, here is an update.  I do have a tracking number and it is showing up in the EMS tracking system, but it has yet to leave China and is not showing my address yet.  Assuming once it finally departs the country it's destination will be entered in properly and show up when I track it.

I have been checking the tracking number nonstop because I am dying to see it leave the country and see my address show up.  Obviously if someone were so inclined to scam, they could mail any old box of nothing and even give out the same tracking number to multiple people, knowing they have a few days to sucker some more victims in.  I don't believe that is what is happening here but it's always best to consider every way in which you could be getting scammed, because rest assured, around here if you don't think of it first a nefarious character who runs off with your BTC will.

Anyway, I'm kind of wishing I had paid for express shipping now because I am waiting for slow ass EMS to get this thing to me so I can confirm everything is kosher and order more!
