Its says its been placed at customers location.. I remember reading that somewhere, I can't remember where but my car is still in the wrong country haha... rodmoe do you details for this please?

Congrats Thibs! Yes like Rod stated it will soon make its way onto a truck for delivery.


When mine had constructively placed status, I waited another 4 days and got a call from my dealer stating that my vehicle had arrived. Granted everyone is different but you're almost there.

Not sure if this will help or not, but you might try messaging "Meagan at Ford" on Facebook to see if she can shed a little light on your car's status. She will need your VIN...just send her a Facebook PM. She was able to help me clarify some ETA issues on my FiST.

It's frustrating isn't it? Makes one wonder if it might be better NOT knowing what railroad routing your car is following. I was temped to track (no pun) my FiST on its journey from Mexico, but didn't need the stress added by our railway system. Unless you are shipping produce by rail, ETA's will almost always be longer than hoped. Hang-in-there Thibs, you'll be enjoying your new FiST soon.

Wonder if that had anything to do with the rail issues they were worried about if a conductors strike was called .. I read somewhere that CN worked through that... Yes it is very very stressful... feel for ya Man....


Looking at the CN track routeing it may be this has a faster shot at crossing the Boarder.. the rail goes straight to the border from Durand and then home to you..
Trying to be upbeat for ya ...

I checked the status again this morning and is now in Indiana???? can you check your website to make sure i'm not hearing things

 

[STooge]

I just called and I'm pretty sure I heard Clinton Indiana. Which puts it just south of the tip of lake Michigan. Keep Positive Thibs. I don't think any of us really know how these rail systems work. Just when you think, "its gonna turn west and head my way, should be here in 3 days." It stays put for 3 days then heads North East?!?!?!?! C'mon! Really!!!. It will get there man. One of the things I had a hard time remembering is that the dealership has nothing to do with the rail company or the trucking company ya know. Its difficult, but it will get there. POSITIVE!!!!
