Notification Emails Not being sent

Store URL: http://foodiebites.com/
WordPress version: 3.9.1
WP e-Commerce version: Version 3.8.14.1
Gold Cart version: n/a
Theme: Organico by Splashing Pixels

I did this:
put an order through the site succesfully. I can see the sale in the store sales, however the admin nor the customer are receiving notification emails of the sale.

I expected WP e-Commerce to do this:
To send the emails like it did before the upgrade

Instead it did this:
nothing.

What I have tested so far:
My client (my boss’s wife) sells food, but we are using wp ecommerce as an online order form. I currently have fixed rate shipping since she delivers her products and the payment set as the test gateway. I have succesfully received an email from the site when I reset the password on a test account. i have also disabled/enabled both wpec and the simple shipping plugin and no luck. I also noticed when i use the default ‘state’ field in the form, the sale doesnt go thru – I dont know if this is tied to the email issue, but I band-aided it by creating a 2nd state text field the user has to type in the state. ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
