Via the website.

Now to everyone advocating to just drive the truck, are you going to pay the tickets? If it goes past a week will you pay for my lawyer and court costs? Not only are there more cops out here than ants due to a major road project but going to my office takes me past the largest building with the most police in the county outside of a busy day at the jail or a Krispy Kreme grand opening. It would be a seriously bad decision.

The problem with the paperwork is I have none. They didn't send back copies for me so I have nothing I can present.
Guessing you are talking about 33rd? I'm in Orlando as well and also ordered from Chapman. I wasn't able to get the courtesy drop so I will have to fly up and get it when it comes in. Hopefully that avoids all the headaches you've had, but maybe not?

Some people just have zero common sense
Though I agree with not letting the wife drive on expired tags
We took a road trip to Cali and 2 miles into New Mexico my then girlfriend (now wife of 14 years today actually) took over driving
Five minutes later we got pulled over for no front license plate (NM requires them…. But so does Texas but I hate them so I never have a front plate)
To this day she brings it up, so I never let her ride dirty (she makes sure I keep her up to date)

But other than unless you have warrants stop crying about such a small non-issue

It's a ticket if it's less than a week and a mandatory court appearance if it's over a week. Unless you're the one who's going to pay for it don't tell me it's a non-issue

I have no suggestion for the OP, but sure am glad I decided to pay MSRP locked price at my local Ford dealership 12 miles away just in case an issue arises. I would have loved the discounts provided by Chapman or another out of state dealership, but I want to be able to show up in person at the dealership when there is a problem such as this one. Not throwing stones, to each his/her own.

After no response over the weekend I have reached out out to them this morning. They said they got a brick of temp tags in Friday, which is funny because they also just got one in Thursday per a prior comment. Explaining things to the sales manager seems to have cleared things up and they are getting one sent overnight.

Awesome! Glad they are getting you one and hopefully your regular tags come from the Florida DMV soon.

My thoughts exactly. In addition to our peace of mind we support jobs in our communities and keep taxes paid in our states. Shop Locally is more than a slogan.

Civil suit for loss of wages? Is that a thing?
Wouldn't be worth it at this point, even when you have a lawyer who will work for a case of scotch. If it was prolonged it could very much be.

Taxes have no bearing as you pay those in the state you live and register the vehicle in, if applicable, anyway.

Didn’t even know this was a thing. My plate arrived 1.5 weeks after the temps expired and my title was mailed about a month after purchasing.

just drive it
This. I bought a fiat 500 in Seattle in October 2020, paid them the taxes/fees and they did all the work with Minnesota registration. I only had 5 days worth of temp tags (apparently they write them manually there, and can only write them out for 5 days...wow). Anyway, long story short I drove around with those for almost 2 months before finally getting the plates. Since it was middle of Covid and lots of stuff was a mess, I figured worst thing that would happen would be a warning.

Contrasted with my Granger experience, which was the right approach in retrospect! Granger gave me temp tags from Iowa, I went to the DMV 2 days later and walked out with TTL paid and new plates for my truck. Couldn't have been easier.

Totally agree on the sales tax...at least here in Ohio...but poster may mean the income tax by having the dealership retain more staff by making more sales. Just a thought.
