I’m not sure I believe this!

I believe it now … From Granger:
Good news - your vehicle has arrived! Please note it will take about 1.5 weeks before it will be ready for pick-up.

My guess would be:
1. Volume of trucks and team size to complete
2. If there’s real damage, it could take that long to resolve (paint damage, etc)
3. They likely are very conservative as many people travel in and better to under commit and over deliver (to keep their strong reputation intact)

Lastly, and most important, this isn’t a surprise as its in the customer agreement I signed: “allow Granger at least 7 days” to prep the car. Their communication and professional has been excellent!

I would take a 10 day wait knowing its on my dealers lot and really exists. and not stuck in shipping limbo like I have been for two weeks. especially if the dealer were Granger.

I’ve been awaiting shipping since 10/31 with seven ETAs since.

Lucky you!
Being part of this thread and forum, I do have some “survivors guilt” going on for being one of fortunate few to have a MY23 make it to a dealer so far! Especially with my blend, chip hold, and ship dates. Doesn’t make sense, but i’ll take it I guess with compassion for the group here.

Hey, at least one of us is getting some positive news. Still nothing for me…been “built” since 10/31. I’m starting to lose hope I’ll see it anytime soon. Idk ?‍♂

Good informative post. Helps one understand and appreciate why the Granger name is so well respected on this forum.

12/5 - build status finally hit yesterday. Dealer set me up on VinView.

Got 2 status updates today -
- "Inspection Complete" at 1 International Dr. Flat Rock, MI. (Ford body shop)
- "Delivered" to a place called "Traditional Logistics" who ship vehicles via Carhaul trucks. (About 16 miles away)

Estimated delivery to my dealer in Wake Forest, NC - 12/15/22. Let's hope this is true!

Great to see the progress. I’d think they’d rail to NC vs convoy?
