No retailer can nor wants to keep many different possible combinations
in stock. Not even Apple wants to bother doing that, which is why
you're custome-build Mac is manufactured when you order it.
The side affect of this is that:
A. The average buyer doesn't even know you can get a Mac
with more RAM or bigger storage drive.
B. Those who do know don't buy the regular stock, so stores
don't bother stocking as many boxes as they used to, which
can mean a wait if you do want a popular off-the-shelf
model.
