MacBook Air should be called MacBook Ground

2 weeks ago I ordered a MacBook Air for my lovely wife. The estimated time before shipping was quoted as “1 - 2 weeks”. Having ordered from Apple before, I knew that the first figure can be safely ignored.
So yesterday, exactly 2 weeks after ordering it, the MacBook Air was shipped. But the surprise came when I checked the tracking number — the estimated arrival time is in 2 weeks!
MacBook Ground
What sort of transport mode is Apple using? By foot? Mule carriage? Do they ship it from China to the US, to the Netherlands, to Ireland and only then to Norway? In any case, such shipping time is plainly unacceptable. I’ve ordered from the other side of the globe and got it delivered 4 days later.
I know that in the US, shopping with Mac is a pleasure. But why does it have to be such a pain here in Norway?
