It’s entirely up to the discretion of the shop to send you the transfer number. It’s not an ‘official’ part of the process for them you give you the number.

Back when transfers were done in 1-2 days, there actually wasn’t even any benefit to having it.

If you’re that worried about it, call the shop and ask for it.

I'm not terribly worried just unfamiliar with the process. Thanks for the info.
