UPS ground shouldn't take more than five days from anywhere in the
country.  UPS ground from California to Washington should take about
three days.

As usual, Aberdeen is pathetically slow.  Don't buy from Aberdeen.
Their customer service is awful.  They're nice and friendly to talk
to, but they will literally take weeks to turn around service requests
that should take a day or two.  And they will do it consistently, time
after time.

FWIW, I also bought a full tower case from them (admittedly the super-
cheap variety, but...) and it was the worst construction of any case I
have seen.  I'm sure their more expensive cases are better, but I
still can't support them from the service angle.
