Err, generally you don't flash them to the latest firmware. Once the device is created (and stress tested if a company chooses to do so) they are given whatever firmware is available at the time and packaged up. It's when the consumer finally opens the box that they get an alert with instructions to download the firmware update.

Logistics pro'ly ain't a problem for a company that ships on that scale daily.
What changes in the last minute more often than not is marketing.
Also the unexpected demand for another, older product has been known to cause delays by taking up a new products intended space in the delivery chain.
