I got mine, early, from Amazon.

I’ve got that “one click” purchase with the expedited delivery and I “pre-ordered” DFTS but it arrived in a couple of days.

I never used to like Amazon but I’ve changed my tune on that lately.

If it’s out of stock, they’ll fetch ya another.

I’d advise against the “one-click” option though, it’s evil…and WAY too easy…
