Finally Built

[MLowe05]

I just got the shipped notification today on our XL EB base model. It was built 3/14. Their estimate for arrival at Long McArthur is 4/5 to 4/11 which seems extremely optimistic.

Anyone know how long it typically takes to arrange shipping from Long McArthur to an out of state destination?

Once the vehicle is checked over, finance completed, any accessories added, we usually have shipping arranged within hours with pick up by shipping company sometimes the next day. Depends on availability of shippers.

Mine is one town over from the ramp! When I check tracking it now says “[inaudible, sounds like “APBL”], Crewe Virginia, 2/27 8:30PM”. I’m thinking since it gives a time a few hours from now that it will arrive and be offloaded tonight! And when I checked United Road today there were four cars waiting to go to my dealership from the ramp. I’m hoping mine makes it in time to be a part of the shipment that will hopefully make its way to my dealership tomorrow!!!

EDT: In case people see this in the future and wonder what "AVPL" (not "ABPL" like I thought) means, it's "Available for Placement" which should be when it is unloaded from the train.

A friend of mine ordered from ford country in october and got it in December

So as of last night mine is saying "Notification Ground Only" at the dropoff point. I did some searching and found on the bronco forums that theirs was in this status anywhere between 1 day and weeks; what does it mean? Has anyone else had this message come up? I checked United Road and I'm still showing as inactive. I'm hoping it's close!!!!

Mine is STILL showing inactive on the United Road site. I'm really hoping this will be the week. I sold my Subaru on the 14th thinking it would've been here by now, and I can't keep hogging my partner's car. I was consistently seeing delivery times of almost exactly a month, but here we are at 38 days since it shipped.

Darn sorry guys, I hope you’re pleasantly surprised tomorrow instead

I just got off the live chat with a Ford rep, and she said that it was showing a delay due to an issue with the carrier, unloading delays, or a backup in the shipping lot, BUT she did say it's showing a current ETA of April 3rd, so fingers crossed! One plus is that I've noticed they've been really on top of getting cars delivered to my dealer. They take 2-3 loads a week, which I really appreciate!

I’m excited for you; this should be your week!!!! I’m glad that the Ford chat was also able to help and put your heart at ease.

Cool! I also contacted them today and my ETA that was the 20th to the 26th got bumped out to be by the 1st for basically the same reason.

At this point, it’s been almost 9.5 months so another week or two is nothing anymore. It’s just slightly more agonizing knowing it’s so close lol

Yea the fact that it’s so close makes each day muuuuch worse than before haha

@BB0 the last train status for me was “actually placed.” After that, it was still inactive for 2 days. Mine changed to “pending pickup” on United Road website on Saturday, and is sitting with another Maverick. Also, today an F150 was added to the pending pickup list at the Wilmington Delaware ramp. So they might wait for a few more vehicles before they pick up and deliver.

Geeeez it was still inactive for that long??? I wonder why it takes so long to move from the staging area to being ready for pickup… I hope that the filling list means that you’re the next load and that it’s soon!

I spoke with someone from United Road and they told me they are in the process of dispatching it to a driver and they are confident that it should be delivered by the end of the week.
That would be amazing.

What is the current status on yours?

That's wonderful news, I'm happy for you! I'm crossing my fingers that it's within the next couple of days for you The unicorns are real!

"Actual Placement of Car" is my last update from this morning, so I'm hopeful! However I do not see it on UR yet and remember you said that yours didn't show up on there for a few days. I'm really hoping that it won't be long as I've been working extended hours recently and will not be available for a large portion of next week because of it.

Mine is still sitting at the Wilmington Delaware ramp and I have seen 2 separate loads delivered to my dealership from the Twin Oaks ramp, which is just 11 miles away from Wilmington. I don’t understand the logic there, but it will get here soon.
