From the 100 or so pages I've read (which you apparently have not and don't blame you), it appears it is always before the end of the shipping range, but often at the beginning of the range. Some have gotten it a day or two before the earlier date. One guy I recall even got it a week or two early. Even all the people that were screaming about inequity, still are scheduled to receive before the later ship date. It seems a lot depends on the configuration. And honestly, that far out, I would guess supply catches up and you get it a week or two early. That is speculation of course because no one knows anything.
