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.
