I can feel your frustration. I was in your boat this January. But a little bit more fortunate than you.
I wanted to support my local business so I went to my neighborhood Ford dealer and ordered my first Maverick. The salesman should have known the deal because he already got himself one. But I just didn't get the confirmation email from Ford like everyone else got. I asked him a couple times over a period of several weeks. But ever time he and his manager just told me everything was fine.
By the deadline of ordering came closing, I became more and more suspicious about what they told me. Thus I rushed and ordered one from Granger on the last day (01/27) to hedge my risk -- thanks for this club to get me know the existence of Granger 1000 miles away from me.
Later on, I contacted Ford and found that my local dealer never confirmed my order at all! You thought they would have at least checked after I told them time after time I didn't received the confirmation.
After I collected my deposit and said the fake "thank you" and walked out of their door. I said silently "thanks but no thanks"! Any business, no matter where it is, needs to be earned.
