But you don't really need to wait three weeks, so that delivery "estimate" is misleading.
UK suppliers tend to ship same day or next day, with delivery within one to three working days.
If a supplier isn't overwhelmed with orders, the rational choice is to ship ASAP, because it increases positive feedback and the prospect of reorders.
Not all suppliers understand this, but most do.
You only have to wait weeks on orders shipped from abroad. But the product source country is usually obvious from the listing, so you can allow for that - if you want to.
