Maybe this is just me but there seems to be a pattern.

NOA2s usually come around Day 21-30.

Day 45-50.

Day 55-60.

Day 75-80

Day 85-90.

Day 115-120.

And so on.

So say it's been 55-60 days since NOA2. Your next "window of opportunity" would then be Day 75-80. This would make sense if they did it one box at a time.

Thanks for your good wishes. I hope it comes sometime soon in the new year. I'm getting mad antsy here.
