Call Gill (Pacer) or Spirit and ask for contact info for nearby dealers. There's possibly a dealer within driving distance that has that pole in stock.

yeah, i was lookin at poles too and had the same problem.. at MF jus normal 7 day delevery or whatever isnt bad, its like $36 or so.. but if you need the pole fast, the prices are rediculous.

After 20 years the best deal I have found is at PitsnStuff. They will match anybodys price. They ship Airbourne Express ($35.00-$50.00). If the pole is shipped next or second day air it is cheaper than the ground freight. Because the pole is to long they then default it to ground freight at the cheaper air cost. Do not ask me why, that is their policy and I just take advantage of it. They can not gurantee the shipping time. But I have received most of the poles I order from PA into the Atlanta area in 2 days. I have an Airbourne account and use my account number. Shipping costs me $16-$27.00 a pole, $35.00 for the 16 footers. If you have any questions send me an e-mail.
