I noticed that the Van's daily parts shipment list hasn't noted any shipments since June 30. I know they are behind and I'm sure the holiday didn't help. This is intended not as a criticism; it's just a heads up for those awaiting parts orders.
I've been checking every day for back-ordered parts. Sometimes they will go a day or 3 without updating that list. Then when they do, you'll see parts are continuing to ship regularly.
I ordered some random parts to fix my smashed elevator and also fuel tank parts about a week ago and had them on my door in 5 days. Ordered some more stuff 2 days ago - we'll see how fast they show up.
