05/09/22 Build week

[Mcbutter]

Nope, also in another thread I created asking about shipping delays, there's a guy who got his built email on 4/1 and it still has not shipped. Someone else who is waiting for early May made the comment about it seems anyone who ended up on a hold for any reason hasn't had their truck ship. Not sure how that lines up with some here, but I was only on hold for 3 days and now delayed. A guy in the other thread wasn't delayed and got a built email on 6/10 and was shipped on 6/12 or 6/13. It's really BS if they are just shipping $hit out that rolls off the assembly line while leaving others parked for no real reason. If that is the case, they must have some financial incentive to get the ones just off the line out the door first rather than those sitting in a parking lot. Been a long time since I did accounting, but maybe the ones in the parking lots are already listed as capital on hand whereas the ones just off the assembly line are not on the books yet as inventory so they try to get them out? I don't know, doesn't make much sense unless something like that is the case.

I won't look into any threads now past 5/9 now because it just makes me pissed off seeing how it's handled.

I agree it is frustrating. 37 days in production and counting for me. Meanwhile I see the same builds in later weeks fully finished and shipped/delivered.

I’m guessing the “built” vehicles not shipped are missing a chip(s)? Ford seems to not move those back in line as soon as those chips become available instead finishing those already queued up and then maybe moving those in before scheduling the next batch?

I feel for those still waiting but 2-3 weeks ago it seemed no one with this build week was getting a truck anytime soon so hopefully your time comes soon!!

All I can say is based on my wait, is that it’s worth it when you drive it the first time.

I haven't had any holds, plant or chip, on my truck since built. Just awaiting shipping for 19 days now.

Ouch… fingers crossed it comes soon

It left the plant the day after my build day. It sat in a local railyard for a couple days then was out to San Diego within 2 weeks. My issue was it sat at the local railyard in San Diego for two weeks before Being taken up to the dealership near Anaheim

Yea my salesman at Ford said they are taking their sweet time with delivery. Could be 1-2 months he said. I received a railcar # yesterday on ford chat, but officially got the shipped email at 2am this morning. Hoping for a smooth shipment, but we shall see.

I was told mine is done and released by Ford, now it is just sitting collecting dust waiting to be shipped.

I think those that say "Built" are done. Those that weren't held for any reason likely got shipped out right away and anyone held up in production are waiting even if it's been completed. I believe it's all about logistics at this point and not enough carriers to move trucks off the lots/ramps fast enough.

My saleswoman at Koons said they have two employees in the same boat. Frustrating but not a lot we can do about it.

We could try a coordinated email campaign to Andrew Frick, VP of sales for the US and Canada. The most common email format at Ford is listed as [email protected] and second is firtnamelastinitial; so we can email him everyday asking why peoples trucks completed after ours have already shipped while ours waits.

Update: I was able to guess his email address by getting non-delivery reports for ones that do not work. His email address appears to be [email protected] .

I sent an email asking for an explanation of how trucks finished months later can ship before trucks sitting around waiting to get shipped. We'll see if he answers.

Finally built and awaiting shipment. Ordered 1/8. Blend date 5/13. On chip hold since (originally estimated for late September). Estimated delivery by 6/29.

So your shipping hold beings, good luck with getting before fall.

Looks like a similar build. Love the rapid red.

Interesting idea. Thanks for the info.

Let me think about what I'd say. After all, you know what they say about sugar and vinegar and catching flies.

I'm going to nickname you Mr. Positivity! It sucks waiting but lets hope we all get the trucks we ordered.
