Purchasing Magic Bands - How quick?

We are visiting WDW on 4/17. We are staying off-site and are ecstatic that we can book FP+ in advance! We are going to try to purchase Magic Bands prior to travelling. Do they offer express shipping? I'm thinking I cannot order them until 3/31 when the new FP+ system is rolled out.

From what I've read (article here) the bands will be available for purchase at select merchandise locations within the WDW Resort. No word yet on whether or not guests will be able to order them online.
