No. I did not specifically ask them this question. My guess is that it doesn’t matter since they are a dealer.
By the way, I had a call with CDTFA office in May before proceeding with buyout. They said the rule says 10 day period kicks in when you ‘acquire the title from lessor.’ The officer interpreted it as starting from the day you receive it. So postal delay doesn’t matter if that’s the case. However I think it’s safe for you to have a proof that you received title on what date. If you have USPS informed delivery notification, that’s helpful.
