People don’t think of that, unfortunately, when they buy cheap crap with “free” shipping from Amazon, Wal Mart, etc.
Sorry for your problem but I would say this is a 100% dealer issue with the title. I had my Maverick drop shipped to a dealer in North Carolina from Long McArthur Ford in Kansas. They sent the title to the delivering dealer and was handed to me when I picked up the vehicle along with a 60 day temp tag. I would be camped out in that dealers showroom until you got some service.I know posting in anger is not the best thing but at this point I have no idea what else I can do.
I placed my order through Chapman and they were super cool throughout the order process. Since I picked up the Maverick 2/26 it has been a real hassle with the registration. I was not sent a temp tag by them so I got one from the dealer here. Florida temp tags are only 30 days, but that should be plenty of time to get the title here and have the vehicle registered. Two weeks ago I heard nothing from the DMV so I reached out. The state showed the title still had not arrived so I reached out to sales. They said if I didn't have it by 3/24 to let them know and I would be overnighted a PA temp tag, good for 60 days.
Not one to wait until the last minute I emailed this past Monday, 3/21, and explained to the sales rep that I hadn't got anything from the state and it still shows that they had not received the title. I didn't hear anything back so I emailed the GM. I then heard back from the sales rep that they were going to wait until Thursday to send it. Thursday an email comes and says "We are waiting for PAA to send us a brick of temp tags so that we can send you one. Hopefully, we get them today or tmrw so we can overnight it to you." Nothing came Friday. Nothing came Saturday, which was the last day my FL temp tag was valid. I am now stuck with a vehicle I cannot legally drive. This means I cannot drive to work. This means I cannot pick up my son from school or take him to his swimming lessons. This means I cannot drive my mother to the hospital and she's due to have heart surgery this week. This means I cannot operate a vehicle I just purchased.
I am hard pressed to buy that the dealer had absolutely no temp tags available because that would mean that they couldn't sell a vehicle for the last three days. They couldn't get one from any of the other three locations sent to me? They can't get the title to my state in 30 days? This is beyond ridiculous and I am at a loss for what to do next.
if I thought it would help I'd have showed them naked pictures of my mother-in-law. Then again there's laws against war crimes.
It’s a non-issue because no reasonable LEO is going to ticket you for this offense
If you show up at the dealership, make yourself cordially comfortable in the lobby and refuse to leave without a tag...i might try it. Id bring snacks, paperback books, and make it clear i was there for the long haul until i left with a tag.I know posting in anger is not the best thing but at this point I have no idea what else I can do.

I bought mine at a local dealer in Maine. Ford made it when they said they would, shipped it earlier, arrived Friday afternoon and I drive it home Tuesday. Registered Wednesday. Nothing like home town trade.
I all seriousness, is driving with bad tags the worst thing "Florida Man" has ever done? Your problem isn't the Maverick or even Ford. It's the timing and lack of communication between dealership and DOT. Sadly you're gonna get screwed either way. Why are you whining about it here? For validation?I know posting in anger is not the best thing but at this point I have no idea what else I can do.

A lot of people have ordered through the same dealer. I have already explained why this is an issue. People have had all sorts of dealer issues and posted about it here, whether with this one or with another dealer.
I received my physical tags in less than 48hrs after purchase. ( They got tired of the guy wondering in asking about his truck and paperwork every Ford status update lol). It's one of the ONLY things the government has truly fixed for the better and lately they have been working tirelessly to ruin a nerely 100% automated system.
