Has seller met obligations toward closing?

[Kati Stratos]

My contracted closing date is tomorrow, March 18. Closing time hasn’t been scheduled yet, because we are awaiting documents that have been overnighted by the seller (who lives in CO) and are expected to arrive by 11am tomorrow. I also live out of state and 2.5 hours from closing location. I’m being told to come between 1-3:30 for closing, after the documents are expected to have arrived.

I’m a bit annoyed that this is so down to the wire. I really don’t want to drive 2.5 hours until documents have been confirmed received. I’m advocating that I need 24 hours notice of closing time, scheduled once all documents have been received. If this delays closing by a few days, so be it.

Am I being unreasonable? Seller is complaining that they will have met their obligations to close by the contracted date and therefore we must close tomorrow. They don’t want to pay a couple days holding costs, which I get. But as far as I’m concerned, they haven’t met obligations until all docs are in, and when they are in, I’ll then arrange to drive down the following day for closing.  It would be different if I wasn’t out of state, didn’t have to arrange for childcare, etc.

Thoughts? Or if this was reddit, AITA? :) Thank you!
