I've always had GREAT service from Elite. Jeff is a stand up guy. Did you email or call him? I think I've bought everything they sell except for the catch can. Never a problem.

When you ordered it, did you tell him you needed it before your dyno day?

Communication is the key here
You never called them?

That can was just recently released. It went over so well that they were slammed with orders. He is probably still trying to dig out.

I bought pucks there and received them within a few days. I have sent Jeff emails and he always answers them the same day.

...if you've been following the discussions about catch cans and the notation on the ELITE ENGINEERING website, they've been inundated with requests for the cans...so much so that they were out of stock (same with AMW). That could be an explanation of the delay.
