random amazon registry question

[Deleted]

A few weeks ago I sent a baby gift to someone off of their Amazon registry. I looked at the registry and it shows that the items that I bought were taken off and I got a delivery confirmation email from Amazon. 

However, the recipient hasn't acknowledged the gift at all and I'm a little worried it never got to them because they live in a big apartment complex. 

I don't really want to ask because they're on H's side of the family and he doesn't want to ask because he thinks "it's fine." 

If for some reason they didn't get the present from us Amazon should replace the item for them since it was already shown as bought, right? Or should I just ask them if they got it and bypass H?

Truth? They got it and haven't gotten around to sending a thank you note. Ask them if you are really concerned.

ok, question 1: did they have the baby yet? lol because I could imagine that would impede things. If not, they haven't sent a TY yet *most likely*.

But really, all my pg friends sent the TY right away because there' sort of a time constraint on how long they'll have free time So I think it doesn't hurt to email and say something innocent about worrying it didn't get to them and give them a chance to thank you.

Nope, baby isn't due till sept or Oct. Her family shower isn't even till mid august.

I don't really care about a ty card, I just want to make sure they got the stuff.

I would give it a week and then just ask.

I know sometimes in a big complex I would have to wait days to get a package from our office.

It took me about a month to get all the thank you notes done after my baby shower. I had a ton of people ask me if I had gotten the stuff they'd sent, which was kind of mortifying - I really wanted the notes to be the acknowledgment, and having to respond to texts about receiving stuff made me feel guilty about not getting the notes done more quickly.

When you say a couple of weeks, does that mean two weeks? Four weeks? Six weeks? If it's been more than a month with no thank you note, I'd check in just to make sure they received it. Anything less than that, I'd wait it out. It sounds like there's still plenty of time to get ordering / delivery issues resolved before the baby gets here.
