Ship dates?

So I just checked into my account online, and under Ship Date, for the Pi I ordered on 29 Feb., it says "30 March". I know there was some confusion over ship dates early on, so thought I'd ask - is this ship date shown in my account roughly accurate? I would be oh so happy to receive my Pi in a couple weeks.

Just in case Marc isn't around at the moment:

Some in the US are reporting an email saying your order has been moved back to August - not right, and we're getting it looked into.

Well....lets hope this is not right. It's a little disheartening to find out that after fighting and clawing (hitting F5 a gazillion times) to get a Pi ordered on the launch day that someone who ordered last week will get theirs before me.

well, sure Farnell has issues with RPi orders, for example mine is both registered and packaging. XD

My order got pushed back to August too. My coworker who just ordered 5 mins ago will get his before me? That's not right.

Maybe they're just following the Bible:

"So the last will be first, and the first will be last." Matthew 20:16 NIV

At least there is some activity there my est ship date stayed at Mar 30 so long I thought it might be broke but I wasn't expecting August 16 either. I have a feeling that they will catch it and move the date up though, I can't believe that Newark (Farnell) would completely disregard the "First Come First Served" premise that this whole order system was based upon.

Oh they didn't, trust me.
I E-Mailed them with a very distrought message and they assured me positions in the queues had not been changed. They can only provide an ETA when they get the devices shipped to them
As of when I last called them (Around the 23'rd of March), they don't have a proper date to estimate to people.
