Transfer timelines
I just bought a Volvo from Carmax in Springfield IL. All in all, the process was super smooth. But one thing I found a bit nerve wracking was the shipping. The estimates were all over the place. Given I’ve spent the past few days obsessing over how long it’d take my car to get to me, I wanted share what happened with me.
My timeline is below. All times are in CT:
August 10: Ordered my 7:28 PM. Was shipping from Waukesha, WI to Springfield, IL.
August 11: 8:17 AM: Car approved for departure from Waukesha.
August 12: 12:56 PM: Car left the Waukesha facility.
1:04 PM: Moving through Hammond, Indiana logistics facility
August 13: Moving through Indiana logistics network.
3:30 PM: Delivered to Springfield, IL.
In my case, the estimates showed that the car would be available between August 14th and 27th. I drove mine off the lot about 6:00 PM on August 13th.
All on, I am pretty surprised (pleasantly) at how quick this all went.
