It all depends. If your dealer is authorized to sell Wald, they have to get it from Jonari Corp, who is the official importer. Jonari gets containers on a regular basis depending on demand, so there's usually a 4-6 week turnaround if they are not in stock at Jonari.

If your dealer goes around Jonari and gets it grey market, it could take that long depending on how they ship it (air, ocean, shared container). Customs can take 2 days, or 2 months....it's a true crap shoot. When you import stuff from overseas and it gets stuck in customs for an extended time, you may even have to pay storage fees, which is usually absorbed by the dealer. That's part of the down-side of importing stuff.
