It must be loaded on a truck, and delivered on that trucks route from SC. If you live near the plant, you (your dealer) could get it is 3 days, or even less. If you live in a far away place, it could take several weeks. I live in KY, mine was built last 8/31/01, and was delivered 9/25/01. That is a long time, even for KY. I think the truck had to make several other stops before arriving at my dealer. It just depends.
