About GAN (Partially wrong forum but I am needing help)

I posted about this on the GAN forum area, but it seems no one even goes there so I doubt I'm getting a response from there. 2 days ago I requested to buy some carpenter ants in my area. I really need them, because my Nylanderia keep escaping and I don't want someone else taking them before I can get them. I've been trying to buy some Camponotus for the past 2 years almost now. I'm worried that it's never going to be read. Everyone keeps saying it could take forever before I get a response. How long should I expect it to take?
Last year they responded fast, but with so many people getting into the hobby, it seems easy to get lost in the flood of emails.
Thank you.

When I would request it would take 2-3 business days for the GAN system to get back to me!

So you have contacted GAN via email about a specific GAN Farmer in your area that has Camponotus for sale? You used this link to find the GAN Farmer?

Yup. I filled out the forum for buy queen ants now, copied and pasted the listing, explained what they were selling and I wanted to buy. They confirmed that I sent the email, but I believe that's just a bot response for confirmation.

Was it a while ago, or recently?

Should I PM someone who checks the GAN inquiries what the email it was sent from is so they could search to see if they got the request?

I'm checking with the GAN people to see what the exact process is, how many people check the inbox, how frequently they check the inbox, etc.

After 5 glueings, they still escape nonstop. My luck with ants! First I get ants that never lay eggs and now I get escape artists...super exited for Camp.
