I have some good news: I decided to nag Dmitry with an email a day, and he finally gave me my real tracking number. It's actually only a digit off from the one he originally sent a week ago, so I guess he just made an honest mistake this time (a typo). It turns out that he DID lie about the original shipping date though: He supposedly shipped almost four weeks ago (which was already two and a half weeks later than he should have), but the tracking information starts only one week ago (right before I got my erroneous tracking number).
That said, I'm taking it on faith that this is really my own tracking number: The item weight is correct, but the information is mostly in Russian, so I can't verify the address or whether I'm the actual recipient. (Actually, I don't think it includes that information at all.) The trail stopped cold two days ago though, so I'm hoping that means it left Russia at that time. A rough Google Translate mentions export to the United States at the last hop, so it sounds like that's exactly what happened.
My cynical side is telling me that it's just another delaying tactic, as though he gave me someone else's tracking number or simply shipped a heavy rock to a farm in Alabama...but realistically, I think I really might be receiving these things by the end of this week or early next week! I just hope they're in good condition, with perfectly circular holes in the padding of proper diameter, no cigarette smell, and satisfactory wiring.
It looks like he might be pulling through for us after all, guys!
