I'm glad you raised that point, Aaron. First, Pentax DO send shipments by airfreight (according to you), so it shows that the price of airfreight makes it an economic proposition at times, although obviously one would expect seafreight to be cheaper.
Second, I DO happen to believe that Pentax should use airfreight more often. In the past year, a great deal of criticism has been directed at Pentax for not having product in the stores. How many times do you suppose that Pentax lost a sale because a camera was on the high seas when, for only $2.00 more, it could have been in the store? But as for calling people stupid, I reserve that for people who uncritically accept figures for shipping that are a thousand times over-stated, whilst at the same time claiming to know something about shipping methods and logistics. Ring any bells?
