Perhaps they have supply problems (SIM) or have run out ahead of the deadline?, these things pretty much get promoted all over the place, including MSE Forums and UK Hot Deals. Given how measly the regular data allowance is on most of their regular tariffs, I imagine that there is huge demand for this, even as a second sim for existing customers to supplement their 'shed load of' 500mb, 1GB etc etc.
Or could there perhaps be a quota sent out to each area in order to keep their prize network lovely and fast?. In other words a certain number of sims sent out to each postcode area in order to avoid any local mast congestion?. Are the friends / relatives you are having them sent to, in the same main area postcode (eg CW11) as your own address?.
I've been able to successfully order a couple, but I ordered on the first day it was mentioned here, and using postcodes which although only a few miles apart, are in different counties and so have completely different postcodes.
