Wow that's wierd. I have ordered three different sets (two for my car, one for husband's) and each of them took only 5-6 weeks. Could it be that early release program that has caused the delay?

Just one more reason to register the car in Arkansas. I knew I should have. I could probably have gotten it registered and had the plates shipped by now.

varys somewhat

the plate for my motorcycle was only 4 weeks, the plates for my old buick were about 6, but the latest ones for my mini took from mid august to oct 30th-i remember the date cause my out of state temporary reg was up on oct 31!!! so the latest plates, for my mini, took the longest.

We have the same here in Ohio. Took mine about a week to get here. Almost as quick as waiting in the line at the BMV...
