Yeah, if you order in person at the DMV, the old plates are surrendered immediately and the new get mailed straight to you. It can take up to a month. You can also order plates by mail, but they get shipped to the DMV (again, in about a month), and then the DMV mails you notification that they are in. Then you have to pick them up in person and surrender your old plates.

I did the latter because I wanted to a) put off having to sit in the DMV, and b) not be plate-less for a month. :P
