I'm no Amazon Homemade expert, but there are plenty of items that say they take time to make:

* Usually takes between 21 and 30 days to create

...although I didn't find anything over 30 days, FWIW.

Because on the seller's page when data-entering the product's details, the maximum value allowed is "30 days". Princeton Audio wants "42 days".

Also, none of your examples have the valuable imprimatur: "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com."

PA wants a combination of "audience reach" + "flexible logistics" that Amazon doesn't currently offer.
