This was my biggest learning lesson on my recent project.  Newegg has spoiled me.
In dealing with a few vendors mentioned on this site recently, including GoG, I've learned to chill out.

Couple weeks ago, I received my artwork from GoG but USPS had smashed it up, made little crinkles in it.  Took a picture and sent it to GoG, they put a new print in the mail with no hassle whatsoever.  Took a couple days in between emails though.  There was a holiday weekend in there too that slowed things down.

Have you guys found this to be the case generally speaking? And do they usually send you a notification when the work is done and the product is shipped?

You'll get an email with a tracking number once shipped.  As for timing, that sounds about right.

Well wouldn't you know it? As soon as I make this thread it ships!  8) I just got the shipping notice! Timing seems to be about perfect. Less than 10 days.  :)
I kinda feel like I was being an impatient ass now. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the great quality I've heard so much about.

Any of us who have built a machine knows the excitement you are feeling. With the arcade stuff, you order all the parts you know you're going to need early on but with the artwork, it's different. Usually you aren't entirely sure what your artwork is going to be and even if you do you don't know the dimensions till the cab is just about complete. When you order artwork, there usually isn't anything to do but wait, but who can be patient when the whole project feels like it's being held up.

Get working on your front end and cleaning up the bootup process. That'll kill some time. I always hated getting all the roms prepped/working right/mapped correctly/etc.

Yeah, that's my least favorite part.
