Check the zone chart from UPS on how many days travel it is from the place you ordered/shipped from. UPS is pretty efficient. For instance - when I order from Harris Cyclery in Newton (Eastern), Mass. for delivery to my outpost in Northern Vermont, the UPS truck will arrive the next afternoon with my gear. Without fail, as Harris ships same-day.

If I am ordering from California or Oregon etc - I generally select a two or three day UPS delivery. This usually doesn't cost all that much more. And most sellers offer these options for shipping on their website.
