Default Lead times on smash repair parts?

So I call the smash repairers today to confirm that they are right to take my Wrangler Monday morning. I asked if all the parts they require had arrived and are ready to be fitted next week, to which the lady replied, "No, they will order them tomorrow (Friday) and they'll arrive on Monday."

Now this repair was booked in on the 18th of February (two months ago). Given the stories I've heard about people waiting weeks for parts form Singpore or wherever they come from, should I be worried about the replacement tail light not showing up by next Friday when I'm supposed to be picking it up?

Bearing in mind that it's been a two month wait to get this fixed (not the repaier's fault), when they say bring it on Monday for a five-day holiday I don't want to be waiting on parts into the second week or longer.

I will see how it goes, needless to say that given that they've had two months to order it if I have to wait I will not be impressed. It's only a tail light and it's not like it would take up a ridiculous amout of space in their shop.

Where would a tail light have to come from anyway?
