Correct, and you will get FedEx 2nd day shipping. The web site doesn't say you will have them in 2 days. It has been my experience that most companies ship the day after you order.

I'm sure they have M80s in stock but probably just not in the color you ordered. They may have had a run on that model. They probably had Factory Outlet ones but ran out of standard ones.

Since you were ordering so close to when you had to have them I would have called and talked to someone to verify stock and when they would actually ship. It sounds like you just placed an order on the web. You didn't give yourself any buffer time for if anything went wrong, like if customs held them up, or FedEx lost them or sent them to the wrong hub..

In any case Amie's message to you shows their customer service in that they told you what was going on, rather than other companies that say it has shipped when it hasn't, etc..
