Not in my area. Delivery would be extra, I assumed the question

That was my point in my first post. It's not a big ticket item, and
the 'extras' like delivery, one-time-buyer status and tax will make a
big difference in the final cost.

And even on delivery, delivery on site versus delivery in place, can
make a big difference. When I was a wee lad, my father always used steel
beams down the center of basements, versus the ganged 2x10s most other
builders in the area used. He tried real hard to not have the steel
delivered until the block walls were cured, footers for the posts were
in place, and the posts themselves bolted down. It made it a whole lot
easier to drop it right in place with the crane on the truck.

(Saw the strangest thing at an estate sale last year. Small house, and
the beam running down the center of the basement looked funny. After a
few minutes, the penny dropped, and I realized it was an upside down
hunk of used railroad track holding the house up.)
