There's been quite a variance in when we receive items from Arca Swiss. Some orders have been completely fulfilled within 4 weeks, others have taken nearly 3 months.
We have had an existing inventory order of a lot of camera bodies, finders, lenses, etc. The camera bodies have left as soon as they are received, but as of last week, we still had a few lenses and many miscellaneous items sitting on the shelf - compendium shades, adapter plates, lensboards, even the board for mounting RM3Di lenses on Arca Swiss view cameras.
To be sure, some of the delays have been at the hands of Schneider and Rodenstock. Other times, manufacturing ramps up and orders that were placed 4 weeks ago get shipped at the same time as orders placed 8 weeks ago.
The communication has gotten slightly better, but it is best to ask for specifics whenever checking eta.
