Not usually. What happens is that some dealers have agreements in place with the distributor or manufacturer so they don't have to stock the product to sell it to you. In turn, the distributor or manufacturer ships it directly to you and bills the dealer for the product. Ideally, it should be transparent to the consumer if both parties do their job correctly (dealer and dist/mamu). Where I could see a problem is if the dealer doesn't notify the dist/manu in a timely manner and the shipping to the consumer is delayed.
