Accessories are generally NOT actually at any particular dealer and have to be shipped in - this allows GM to maintain lower overall stock counts while not putting space pressure on the dealerships to store all kinds of accessory options for the various vehicles.
Since you're ordering based on actual manufacturer stock, you'll find either "In stock", "Backordered", or "Out of Stock" to reflect they have it available to ship into a dealer, THEY are waiting to replenish the "master stock", or it may be no longer sold.
I would expect it will come within the week, maybe ten days.
