Some good news for those in Adelaide awaiting Grand Eagle deliveries (unloaded in Melbourne). After what appears to be the standard shenanigans with moving estimated delivery dates I'm happy to share I've got a delivery date booked in:
- Ordered: 28 Feb 2023
- Estimated Window (orig): April - June
- Next Window (steady for quite a while)*: 22 May - 12 June
- .... (3-4 random window adjustments, generally contracting window but sliding to the right)
- Final Window (steady for about 2 weeks): 21 June - 30 June
- Delivery Date: 22 June (they offered 21 June but that didn't work for me)
* I may have had an earlier, smaller window prior to this but I can't quite remember....
MY/RWD/White (Ex)/Black (In)/Inductions
Build Date: 26/04/2023 (revised to 27/04/2023 on latest updated Final Invoice, km's also went from 0km to 8km)
RAV Entry Date: 18/05/2023 (Grand Eagle bulk entry)
Interestingly I was not offered the usual delivery options (i.e. two options over two days). I was offered one firm slot which I couldn't make on the 21st (via SMS and reflected in the App). When I called apparently that is a recent change in tactics due to the number of deliveries in the system. Not sure if it is common across Australia, just for Adelaide or just an excuse they gave for not giving me at least a couple of options! Easy to change and the app updated immediately after the SA made the change (as you'd expect). According to my SA they will generously allow me 15 minutes for the delivery appointment (but I plan to take my time and leave only when I've had opportunity to make the checks I feel I need to
).
Good luck everyone, especially those that ordered way earlier or are up against the June 30 deadline for tax write-offs.
