I sort of get the rush, I can't imagine an insurance company is happy if the expensive stuff stays in the building any longer than necessary. And Dealers of course want fast turnaround so their money isn't tied up any longer than it must be.
Without changing the overall scheme, I don't see a way for things to change

Collectors are impatient too judging by the posts I have seen here. When those of us a certain age were growing up there was of course no email, no texting, no overnight deliveries, long-distance phone calls cost too damn much to make regularly so you wrote letters to your girlfriend if you were away, etc. etc. etc. I think people today have a completely different conception of time.
There's that wonderful saying, I think it may be Spanish, slow down, we're in a hurry.
