Don't shoot the messenger but, I just called to find out when I will be getting my HOV Stickers (because my check was cashed on January 6) and the lady told me 10 to 12 weeks from the date they cashed your check.
I was in shock by this. She said that they are behind and trying to get them out as fast as possible. Oh by the way do not waste your time by calling the DMV. They gave me the number to who is actually in charge of the stickers....1-800-242-4450. I guess I will be looking for them in March.

I mailed mine in yesterday. I don't really care when I get them as long as I get them eventually; I'm just getting them while I can to help with the resale value of my car whenever I get rid of it.
The program may be extended but who knows.
BTW, MagPearl, sometimes they deliberately overestimate to avoid customer complaints if they come in later than the estimate. My dealer told me 10-12 weeks for my vehicle registration to arrive though it actually took 5. For the HOV stickers, I would still expect them to take 4-6 weeks.

Got my stickers today! Yipee!
Mailed the application and check on 12-09 and got the stickers on 01-09. Exactly one month. Not too bad by my book.
They cashed the check on 12-28.
Sticker number is 431xx
Ron in SoCal and legal in the carpool lane!

Holy cow!! I can't believe that. This is turning into a huge nightmare. Between the dealer's incompetence and the DMV delays, I'm starting to be sorry I bought the car in the first place.

My big concern was getting in before the stickers ran out. Good news is that it sounds like you've done that.
The HOV lane is sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right about the DMV, and the last thing I want to do is get on someone's bad side there.
Good news today, though. My check cleared last night, so hopefully things are moving along and it won't be too much longer.

Susan, I have not received the stickers yet and I don't think I am going to see them before the 10-12 weeks. If I do get them early, I will let you know.
