I can order a computer have it shipped from asia and it is here in 3-4 days. I order something from my shop they always tell me three days. When it is never less then a week. I thought this time because I asked to make sure it was in stock it wouldn't take this long but it did. 

How can it take longer to move something from one state to another (<750 miles) then it does around the world? 

At least if I called a shop somewhere in the us that had one in the showroom I would get it sent to my door and I would have a tracking number.
