Fastest Order to Arrival?

Hey all,

I was wondering what the fastest "order to arrival" time there has been. I'm curious to see if someone has had a ridiculously quick turnaround....maybe in as little as 4 or 5 weeks??

Forty-two days from order to delivery; her port-of-entry was Baltimore. Molly2 was ordered March 17, 2011, delivered April 27, 2011.

On the west cost it takes an extra couple of weeks to get here. The best we did was for Shawn, 54 days. He went into production even before I checked on his progress, but spent 2 weeks at Southampton, having just missed one boat.

In ideal circumstances it could probably be done in 40 days to the west coast.

Cool! Yeah, I ordered mine on Saturday, and when I talked to ASK-MINI on Tuesday, she told me it had already gone into production...I guess it's all about boat timing!

Mine went through pretty quickly. Ordered 8/23/2011, driven home 10/7/2011. I think I might have been able to pick it up on 10/6 if I had asked, but I'm not sure. That's 45 days to the dealer in San Jose CA.

I've been communicating with "Raska" on this forum (we both ordered Ice Blues).

From his posts...ordered 2/29, delivered 3/29. That's fast! It did help that he's in NJ.

Fastest I've seen for a build-to-order.

Orderered on Jan 28, 2012 and picked up March 10th. It was ready by the 5th but I was traveling and could not get to the shop to get it. This was delivered in Westchester NY. When I ordered I was given a dealer slot that they changed to my build. I missed out on the $500 incentive for Feb delivery by just a few days :(

Thanks for the mention!

To be fair, I ordered 2/28 and picked it up 3/29, so that's 31 days from order to pick up.
