Yes, first customers had to wait a long time for their QLs to arrive. Reference http://www.qlvsjaguar.homepage.bluewin.ch/QLchronology.html: "End of April 1984 the first batch of 89 QL's were shipped to customers by car (SST)." During May and June 1984 the backlog was reduced and towards autumn enough working QLs were available resulting in High Street stores stocking the QL.
IIRC the original Apple Macintosh (128K) was available the day after its launch! Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_128K)writes: "The sales of the Macintosh were strong from its initial release and reached 70,000 units on May 3, 1984."
