Compliance "plate" Backlog?

[mini2]

I'm giving the RAW a little benefit of doubts at this stage but basically they had the car since early January, got busy with work so I didn't contact them till this week and got told they're still waiting for the compliance "plate" (yeah I know it's really just a sticker).

Is anyone stuck with this as well or possibly the workshop that I am using is feeding me with hot air?

Thanks

Carisma just completed work for a friend of mine in no more than 3 weeks including plate.....so I don't think plate production from niddrie, or approval from dotars, is a problem at the moment.

could well be they have run out of plates for your model of car and are waiting for their deadline to clear before more are available.

seen that one happen a few times now.

Mine will be here next week so I'll keep you posted.

Broker hasn't mentioned any delays so I'm hoping around 3 weeks as above.

Thanks guys, hopefully the plate will turn up soon.

I've done a search on the RAWS site, it didn't come up as an approved vehicle (ie it's been processed and plated) so Chris' suggestion might be the case here.

It is common for processing times to blow out in Canberra, but it's equally common for workshops to use that as an excuse for other delays Given that they don't get paid until the car is complied, there are few benefits to holding on to cars any longer than they need to be.
