I would just call your local dealers and try to purchase one immediately.
I was told the same thing and the ad for the HU800HW was mis-leading because you cannot side discharge while mowing.
Thank you for contacting Answer ARMY.
The chute maybe available from the locally authorized service center and maybe even a sales center. The discharge chute is sent to those that register the product and yes it typically takes 6 to 8 weeks after registration.
If you need to purchase one before you receive your cost free discharge chute the part number is 532 44 15 77.
I know this is an older thread, but after registering my mower with Husqvarna, the side discharge kit was delivered to my door in 4 business days. I, too, was shocked about the 6-8 weeks that was written, but that truly wasn't the case!
