Good points all, Mr. AntiGates. As an individual, I would get very antsy waiting -- is it really close to a month? -- for goods to cross the Pacific. As a cold (or at least value-neutral) institution like Wal-Mart (or Target, or Home Depot, Menard's, etc.), I'm not sure my employees would individually get close enough to large-scale freight movement to really impose a time-frame on and worry or care much about any particular movement--with obvious exceptions, of course, like buyers who have had to keep their own special info about CD's and toys, etc., to themselves for the good of the company.
