Interstate Car Transport Duration

[stazza]

The wife and I recently bought a new car from a Perth dealer (won’t be saying names at this point in time), with an estimated delivery date of the 9th of May.

The salesperson emailed me on the 21st of April saying good news, the car has just left Sydney and is on its way to Perth.

I rang them today to see if there were any updates etc.. as it has now been about a week and a half since leaving Sydney.

I was told it will be here a bit sooner now, the 14th. I said “I thought it was going to be here on the 9th originally, and then you emailed saying it could be here sooner as it left Sydney over a week ago”. He said they made a mistake, and it was originally the 19th of May, not the 9th.

So looking at the 14th, that’s stil nearly 2 weeks away. So how long does it typically take a car to be transported interstate then? I was under the impression it would be a couple days, a week at most? Btw it’s not getting tinted or any paint protection, so when it arrives I’d imagine they’d only need it a couple days at most to detail it and do whatever else they do. I’ve got a hunch they’ve made some kind of mistake though...

So, any suggestions?
