Questions abound from a very-new apprentice:

• 1. Do the subscriptions rotate back through a list of items? The core rulebook, advanced player's guide, and several others are part of the rulebook subscription but there is nothing I have found that indicates when or if you would catch up on previous orders or if you have to order them separately.
  
• 2.(Assuming question 1 is yes they do rotate) Does Paizo keep track of what has been sent already and automatically suspend shipment if the item is already owned? Such as if the core rulebook was sent as part of a subscription and is due to send out again the list.
  
• 3. How can you get started with a subscription to include previous issues of the current series. Such as the time of writing this, the SF Adventure Path sub offers a choice of starting with #38: Crash & Burn (Fly Free or Die 5 of 6) (available now) or #39: Crash & Burn (Fly Free or Die 6 of 6) (not available yet). I don't want to start my sub in the middle of a series unless I can back track to 1 of 6 without incurring duplicates at some point in the future.
  
• 4. If I start a rulebook subscription, is the core rulebook automatically sent as the first order? I saw where I can choose the currently available item or the next planned item but not the core rulebook as an option.
  
• 5. If I order the core book separately will I end up with 2 copies?
  
• 6. Same questions with other rulebooks...(ex: Advanced Player's Guide: When do I get or duplicate if ordered separate?)
  

How can I know the status of my order???????? I'm new to the site and so I don't know where to find information.

I ordered several products on April 15 including subscriptions. I choose the save shipping cost by shipping at one time so I expect some delays in the first shipment (still haven't found the side-cart that is referred to in some areas). However, I'm not finding anything to tell me what and when the order items will be shipped. It just says pending......constantly. There seems to be no way to see when I can expect to to be sent out or if there is a delay. I do see the standard statement saying products are usually shipped within x to y days.

Last night (May 1 @ ~23:00 CST) while checking again, I noticed my cart dropped from 13 items to 6 while I was on the site. However, there is no new emails from Paizo, no status anywhere on my profile that I can find. I have the order history which many items show the subscription but not the scheduled item. I have the 6 remaining items in the cart which I can see is only the StarFinder items while all of the PathFinder items have disappeared. I presume that means these have just been shipped, but now at noon the next day, there is still no email, status update, or any other way to know the status.

What am I missing? Is there a page on my profile/order/cart/whatever that I haven't seen yet? Is there an email coming in from a different domain name that will not show up when I search "@paizo" and thus I must scan through hundreds of daily emails hoping one stands out as important? Spam filters catch only about 80% of over 300 daily junk.
