Why do things take "4-6 weeks" to ship?

If I can get a car shipped from Maine to California in a week I should be able to get any generic as seen on tv item from jersey to CA in less than **4-6 WEEKS!!**

What gives??

This is not always the case, but especially with infomercial trinkets, it's not uncommon for the products you're buying not to even be manufactured yet. By allowing long lead times, the seller can gauge response and manufacture just enough to meet demand.
