5 days later and still no email to DL my preorder.
I tried mailing tech support and got a canned reply saying Go take a flying leap.

Called the number the website said to call if you have problems.and the following conversation really happened. (paraphrased)

"hello e-fronter store , how may I help you"
"Hi, wheres my stuff?"
"I can't help you with that."
"Isn't this the number to call if I need help with my order?"
"Why, yes, indeed it is"
"So, where's my stuff?"
"I cant help you with that."

at this point I have that look on my face like John Cleese at the parrot store.

"Did i call the wrong number?"
"No this is the rigth number to call. How can I help you?"
 
(looking around for hiddden candid camera)
"Wheres my stuff"
"Sorry, we don't handle that kind of request here."
"So who does?"
"Call the number posted on the web site (recites the number Im calling)"
"That's you!"
"Yes it is how can I help you?"

They are also helping me by cheerfully ignoring my trouble ticket.
 
And so folks, it is my firm belief that the entire universe has gone completely insane.

Anyhow, that Norwegion Blue has lovely plumage.  WTF!
