It's my opinion that unless you have some life threating condition where you need a new wheelset a.s.a.p. (hehehe...), you should either look to have a wheel set made in their USA facilities or just convince yourself that "good things come to those that who wait" and select the very affordable standard delivery.
At least if one buys the LB wheels from the USA distributor, that employs a few US workers and saves a lot on shipping. It's a bummer that the DT Swiss 240 EXP hubs won't be in the USA warehouses for several months.

I just priced it out again, and it's about $3 more to use the US warehouse, but they have a 4 week lead time on builds.
It looks like I should expect them in mid-September, regardless of where I order(unless I pay $177.50 for FedEx).
