Same with me, actually I placed a phone order with Nordies too, hopefully one pans out. My friend who just placed an order with Bloomies online got the same date. I called to confirm that I wanted to stay on backorder after placing the order yesterday evening. I think they just put that date. MAC promises them a certain # and they must place backorders based on that. I guess people who cancel, they then release it for grabs that's why you see it one minute and it's gone the next. Who knows. But it's le, wtf's it taking that long for? MAC ain't making more! So that date is just to make us under-expect, then if it's sooner, we'll be happy.
