I made the 2-4 week delivery time clear in my "payments and shipping" page. Under each product I had a small disclaimer about the shipping times. With some products I had specific notices to the tune of "due to high order volume please allow for up to 4 weeks shipping time" etc.

But generally the products I dropshipped, I made sure they had 20 days or lower shipping times. It's usually not a problem. It's only a problem if you try to hide the shipping times and people expect it to arrive in a week and start wasting your time with customer service requests.

Also super secret protip. You can jew a few extra dollars on every order by offering a "priority processing" option that's opt-in. Basically you want to say that processing times are a big factor, but ticking this box and paying 4 bucks will put your product to the front of the queue. People love this and it's usually placed in about 30% of my orders.

Just make sure your products have short delivery times with Epacket, you're upront about the shipping times, and don't BS customers. Most people will be ok with longer shipping if it's clearly communicated.

When you start doing more business, you can get a supplier contact in china to pre-acquire bulk product for you (especially useful if you're branding) and you can also use distributing companies to pre-stock in countries you supply, which can reduce your delivery time by a LOT, but raises overheads.
