- I do not know where the problem is here, but delivery time
- for an Early Ship System is 14 days. The delivery time for
- a STANDARD order is 75 days, because they are *scheduled*
- to ship in March per the development schedule.
-
- You may consider confirming with you sales rep that your
- order is for an early ship system.
