Just a quick question for any fellow Ontarians regarding delivery timelines.
I ordered my MY 2016 back in June through BMW Grand River in Kitchener. Since that time, my advisor’s been doing a great job on keeping me posted regarding the vehicle’s status. It seems like after it was built, it took no time at all to be shipped from Germany to Halifax.
This past Monday (September 14) I got a call letting me know that my car had arrived in Concord. Considering it would be about a one hour drive from the railyard to the dealership by truck, I figured delivery would be imminent, possibly by the end of the week. But then today I get another call letting me know that I can expect to take delivery in another one to two weeks (September 25 – October 2). This new timeline caught me by surprise and I asked why it would take so long. I was told that depending what part of the train the car had been loaded onto, it could take some time to offload and even more time to get onto a delivery truck. Huh?
I get that not every car can be shipped out the same day it arrives, but one to two weeks? I kind of assumed that within a day or two of arrival there would be trucks shipping out the new cars to all dealerships (but my knowledge of shipping logistics is zilch).
Bottom line is I’m curious if this timeline sounds normal to other owners. From the few delivery posts I’ve read on the forums, it appears most GTA dealerships get their cars within a day or two of them arriving in Concord. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this long of a delay at the railyard. Seems funny that my car made it all the ways across the Atlantic and Canada's east coast only to be delayed in the final home stretch.
