Is shipping delay still an issue?

[LandoBanjo]

Truck was built 09/07, given 10/02 - 10/08 delivery estimate so if Ford is able to stick to these timelines you could definitely receive before the end of November. Dealer said they had been seeing 3-4 week built to delivery time. However, I have been stuck Awaiting Shipment since. Ford has been slow at updating the tracker, but dealer says it is likely in transit. On his end is shows "Released" from "Secondary", but also still located at the factory in Mexico.

My XLT Hybrid was built on August 26th and finally shows that it shipped as of this morning after spending 28 days with the Awaiting Shipment status. It's being shipped to Eastern Canada. Estimated delivery is showing October 3rd to October 9th but I figure it will show up in early November.

Back when there are recalls or chip holds, (as the failed engine fire and needing to drill drip holes and allow more air through the grill), they get parked until they can do the recall or chips put in, which seems secondary from keeping the factory humming along.

Believe @fordvideoguy gave his possible theory. Those vehicles are parked at the end of the lot and they can't always get to them as there are other vehicles in the way.

Or simply if you fall out of the normal flow, it's lots of additional delays, whether issues at a rail yard, recalls or supply issues on things as chips..

Hard to say.

I have a built status of 8/30 and still hasn't shipped. There are people with earlier dates than mine who also haven't had their trucks shipped out. Then there are the people who were built several days or even a couple weeks after and theirs shipped out the same day.

depends on the options and extra equipment you want it could be what you want cant get the parts for etc why i only ordered a luxury package thats it hoping to get mine quicker

It's not like trains are hard to miss. I wonder if your dealer just happens to know which car it is in and so can track the train itself.

I wish. He said usually they do list those numbers but he said mine does not have one and he assumes bc the system is so messed up with everything going on with 2023s

It's like I've been suffering through unwanted lamaze classes, lots of false labor, induced high blood pressure, and swelling for over a year waiting to birth/deliver this little baby.

Built 8/29 here, no holds or constraints…. Dealer says the maverick shipped and should be here early October, but both ford CS and the tracker says it’s still awaiting shipment

Very random. 2 hours after I got the "built" email, I received the "shipped" email.

Same built date and not shipped yet.

If your truck is built, shipped, and delivered on the dates that Ford tells you? Then go buy a PowerBall ticket because it's your lucky day.
