Considering that just about everything comes over via boat, which means there's a delay from factory -> boatyard (in a sealed container), boatyard -> ship, ship -> sea, sea-> US, port -> customs, customs -> truck -> distro center, there's a pretty long delay.

I wouldn't think almost anything gets from china to the US in under 2-3 weeks, unless the rare instances where they send it by air.

Wal-Mart has a free trade zone in Northwest Arkansas.

They use it to receive direct jumbo jet flights bringing merchandise in from China.

"...under 2-3 weeks..."

Hence the saying, "A slow boat to(from) China." LOL!
