a month--maybe a year
SERIOUSLY- NEEDS TO GET TO PORT, AWAIT A SHIP, 2 weeks across the ocean, a few days at VPC then a truck ride to dealer which is faily close to you. figure 4 weeks. Could get slowed down if you are having anything installed at VPC...that has cause some problems with deliveries.

WTF?
Don't listen this this guy. He's obviously clueless.
Your wait is going to depend on a number of factors, but will more than likely not be more than 3 or 4 weeks. Mine was delivered less than 4 weeks after finishing up in production, and that was shipping all the way to the West Coast. You East Coaster's have it EASY!!!

Mine tood 8 weeks 3 days. Ordered March 12, picked up May 10. I'm in California, so East Coasters do have a shorter wait. Mine lost a few days waiting to go through the Panama Canal. It also lost a week at Southampton docks when there were too many MINIs for the ship it was booked on.

My car finished production on March 12 and arrived in Portland on the truck on April 15, so just a few days more than a month.
But if I use Robin's math, it took six months from order to arrival. I was waiting since October.

Another West Coaster here, from the day I ordered until the day I took delivery, 12 weeks on the nose. From the day it was born until I took delivery, 5 weeks 3 days.
You can't really say how long it will take until your Mini is actually on a ship headed to the US. It is possible it can sit on the docks at Southampton for a couple of weeks. However, I'd say, you'll probably get it about 4 weeks.
