When Lionel gives a shipping date on a locomotive. where does it ship from China or ship to lionel dealers?
Original Post
Practically all of Lionel's stuff ships from China to North Carolina nowadays. But the estimated ship dates on their website are supposed to be when Lionel ships to their dealers.
That being said though... do yourself a HUGE favor and ignore the published online shipping schedule altogether, as it tends to be pure fiction with a HEAVY dose of wishful thinking!
