You wait 4-6 weeks for delivery?

For some stuff, I have waited even longer... and that's even living in a modern connected city in North America.

Wow. I routinely wait 3 weeks for stuff from China. The few things that I can get locally, the Chinese are 1/4 the price, if not less.

And then there's things that are hard/impossible to get. Laser modules, radio boards, high velocity GPS boards. Those sorts of things.
