You can look at UPS plane schedules on http://flightaware.com and make a prediction based on when UPS says its departed. There are only a couple flights a day from China to the US. It may stop over in South Korea before heading to Anchorage and then Louisville.

The only issue with B&H is that you cannot return an open computer under any circumstances. So if you have a problem out of the box you're dealing with getting your $4,000-10,000 headache to Apple for repairs.
That's what I said:
So this is a calculated risk, but the pros outlay the cons for many, many people.
Yes, I see that now, thanks. I think the problem is less with business owners who have multiple machines and likely people who deal with defective equipment, and more with consumers and prosumers who don't want to spend the time over weeks or months going back and forth to Apple trying to fix their brand new computer that may be their only one. I love B&H, try to give them as much business as possible since they are a "local" business to me here in New York City, I've spent thousands there on photographic and audio equipment, but I will NOT buy a computer there. I don't want to open the box of a brand new multi-thousand dollar machine that happens to have some intermittent problem, and then on day 3 of ownership have to shlep to Apple and have to leave it there for days or weeks only to have to argue with them about repair, replacement. etc. It's not worth the B&H discount.
Just got an Exception from UPS saying there was a mechanical failure in Japan and they don't know my new arrival date. Was supposed to be tomorrow. Waaaah 
the Universe doesn't want me to have this computer. Sob .
