Mine has not been in the shop more than a day because I don't drop it off until they are ready to work on it. When you drop it off with the timing of the work being indefinite, the amount of time waiting at the shop can be indefinite.
You've made yourself a low-priority customer. If the shop is busy, three weeks is not unusual for taking care of the "work on it when we can get around to it" customer.
I've made the same mistake with auto service. For 30 minutes work, on a drop off, they'll say "bring it in first thing in the morning." When I call after work, they'll say "we'll have it finished in an hour" which means now is the time to schedule it to a technician to have the work done.
Now retired, I'll usually go with "while I wait." That gets shop priority, they don't like you hanging around. The work you wanted done could be done in probably less than two hours, once they start. If you brought it in on a "while I wait" basis after the parts arrived, it would be out in less than a half day.
