3 weeks, after ordering them over the phone, you couldn't order online back then and the plates were only $310!

Well i certainly feel better as I thought it was tough that you had to wait 10 weeks and there was not notice until after you have confirmed the order but 4-7 days is great .By the way lookout for XRSICK in the Northern Suburbs couldn't believe my username was available cheers

Mine took about 4 business days after ordering them online. I couldn't believe how quick it was, I thought I would be waiting weeks.

I have just bought a new (demo) F6, and dropped my personalised plates off yesterday to be fitted before pickup (tomorrow), only to be told that Vicroads now stipulate that the car must be driven a minimum of 2 weeks on the existing plates before mine can be fitted! :
This "law" has apparently only just came in... Anyone heard of this?

That is crap. I registered my car on monday with normal plates. My new plates arrived yesterday and I assigned them today over the phone. I have to fit the new plates before I can drive it now. I have to leave the old label on the car until a new label arrives in the mail.

I also just rang and I have to do it myself (dealer CAN'T), after I have receipt of purchase. The fee is $93.50
Why I was told 2 WEEKS, I have no idea?

I still cannot justify $495 in Victoria for personalised number plates!
I want BARN5Y...but my driving behaviour needs to improve to warrent personal plates, haven't got a fine in 20 months! :Up_to_som.
They can be very easy to remember as opposed to SSJ402!
