Yes, if you order them they will take 6 weeks. However, Apple randomly sends new AirPods out to new stores -- each store seems to get a few to sell every two weeks or so. This is what the
isinstock website does, is keep track of when stores get AirPods in stock and, if you give them your email address, they'll send you an email when the AirPods are in stock there. They also show what stores currently have the AirPods and what stores had them in the last 24 hours -- currently it shows 94 stores had Airpods in stock in the last 24 hours, though none of them have them now.
So, if you sign up, they'll email you when AirPods are in stock at the store you selected. You can then, while they have a few AirPods to sell, go into the Apple Store app or website and buy a pair and they'll reserve them for you to go and pick up (and they will show they can be picked up same day); but this only works before the store sells out of the few boxes of AirPods they got -- once they sell out, you'll see the six week date again.
