I read nothing in the email I was sent indicating that there was going to
be an instant shipping, the impression I got was "We are starting to ship
the last week of July" (MZ posted a message sometime this week stating as
such) and "We expect to get to everybody within 90 days at the latest"
(which would indicate all 100,000+ ports on PM3s around the world would
not all get a magic fedex or UPS shipment on the last week of July.

Again, MZ posted sometime this week that they were shipping.
