Coming soon to HF's next ToS revision!
This isn't hard.
Guaranteed delivery date = Dec 31.
Dec 31 + two months = Feb 28(ish)
How people can claim the earliest possible ship date was some kind of iron-clad guaranteed deadline is beyond me; that's simply not a reasonable interpretation or position.
Too much Haterade I guess.
What happened to Feb 31st? Are you losing your credibility?
