I'd say your friend got lucky. I'm in Canada too and ordered my Ultimaker 2 on October 30th (almost 6 weeks ago), but it has yet to ship.
If my order is any indication of the current lead times, you may be waiting a while.
Does anyone know if there is still a large lead time for US orders? I placed an order on October 30th and it has yet to be shipped. It would be nice to have a general idea of when I can expect it, I'm getting kind of anxious.
