Wait till you find the store that says they are located in PA but they are actually
located and ships from Europe.

They must have stock, but I don't believe the rules say that the stock has
to be kept at a specific address. There was one case where a seller had stock
in another country which could cause taxation issues, but that doesn't seem
to be the case here.

Also what is the difference in transit time like for those states? As often the
processing time of an order before it is shipped can be multiple days, so orders
from close sellers may take longer than distant ones.

It does break the rules on BrickLink unless the seller has a business location
in both states. (a very rare occurrence) Sellers here are required to have their
items in hand.

Are they coming from the stores you ordered from?

The only BrickLink legal way for a store to ship from a different location is
if they went to pull the order and realized that they didn’t have the part and
ordered it from another store so you would still get the parts.
I’ve done this for a part in an order when I was short one (damn you brittle
blue). But I don’t think a whole order would work.
