2000+ of anything is not a large amount by any means, i'm upset at the fact that I am 1 of the 70 unlucky people who will have to wait considerably longer to receive something that was otherwise promised delivered by the 25th. It doesn't help being in Canada as rerouting will mean I won't see my pair most likely till 2015. Seriously if you have your headphones than congrats otherwise the 70 are shit out of luck till we see it on our doorstep.
I think you're missing a couple points of communication:
1) We never promised orders in Canada to be delivered before Christmas.
2) For the 70 orders that were duplicated (and being recalled, or waiting for their first shipment), we're expediting the orders when we reship them. Canadian orders will ship via USPS Priority instead of USPS First Class, which is quoted to be about a week faster, and that will generally offset the delay in the ship-out date.
