Mach Drop Build Updates

[agoldman]

I don't think I will see any further updates till it trucks the final leg from Delaware to the dealer, unless running the dealer visibility report. palsapp seems to be done with mine since received at KC Norfolk Southern (Voltz). Too bad, I was enjoying watching the progress.

I feel like I'm annoying the hell out of the shippers, but I was able to call JCT and Voltz ramp train dispatch, and find out with the VIN, when my car hit the ramp, and that it shipped out by train towards Delaware on 2/7, and that "normally", that leg takes about a week. Likely JCT will then pick it up in Delaware and truck it to the dealer in Maryland. (probably same day trip).

So anyway I learned that at least it's not sitting still in Kansas City, MO.

(as soon as they pulled the VIN, and saw that it was a Mach -E, they commented "geeze everyone wants to know about the mach e deliveries" . .ha)

Persistence pays and looks like by their comments lots of people calling them I bet even Ford logistics teams are calling them to make sure there are no delays

My car for the first time is listed on PALSAPP.

Received today. Argentine Ramp. My delivery date is supposed to be Feb. 27th so looking like things are on track! [NorCal]

Ours are probably on the same train/truck. I have the same delivery date in NorCal (San Jose).

So just tried to track my FE and the www.macheforum.com/site/pages/tracker says it can't retrieve my VIN anymore. Glad my premium ended up shipping cause at least i got emails and stuff. Sad about no grabber blue but way less stress with the premium. Though I did just look on the official ford tracker and it says the car has shipped but will be arriving 4 days after my premium so who knows

Yep, I actually hate seeing people calling them and bugging them. If one does it, a hundred will do it. Or a thousand.

I get being curious about where the car is in it's journey. It's like tracking 'Santa Claus' on NORAD radar on Christmas Eve. We're all anxious. But personally I draw the line at actually taking up their time simply because I'm curious where my car is in the shipping process. I'll do online Palsapp checks since it's just a computerized process that doesn't tie up anyone's time though.

It didn't take more than 30 seconds. Still, I don't like bothering them or even the dealer. That's why this forum is so great!

Yep, that was the "ford tracker" that I mentioned. Sorry should have been more clear. Thats how I realized that the car had shipped. Super weird that the tracker on this forum worked for my premium but no the FE ?. Oh well, nice to know my FE has shipped but now just hoping the dealership doesn't charge ADM to whoever ends up buying it because they sure as heck don't deserve any extra cash ha

When I was a kid in the pre internet age of the 90’s all the good stuff came from a paper catalog. If you were lucky, you could get a UPS tracking number, and then you could call UPS and they would give you a location status. I knew the UPS customer service number by heart and I would call every day until I got that package. Later on at a job I had not long after that included responding to shipping questions. I never felt bad answering those questions. There is something great about that anticipation. Even today I get a little excited when the Amazon box comes. Point being, the people who answer those questions feel the same way. You’re not annoying them. When did your car ship from Mexico?

1/22. But the best news is that once ot got to the ramp in KC, it left on a train two days later. Not a lot of extended sitting. I hope that repeats in Delaware and moves through quickly. I think part of the random slowness that was going on was due to the overall stalling of the stop ship issue. I think that created a backlog whichs eems to have mostly cleared. mostly.

Shipped 1/26 could be any time to KC - mine was shipped 1/25

Mine shipped on 1/23 and hasn't hit KC yet, or at least hasn't updated on Pals yet.

probably not updated rather than not reaching KC - its so confusing

Looks like I lucked into a customer cancellation with no ADM for exactly what I ordered. I just have to make a 250-mile drive to take delivery on Wednesday in Michigan. As an added plus, no front license plate bracket mounted to it.

Now all I have to be concerned with is canceling my order with my original dealer, and I hope they don't give me business about getting my deposit back. If I don't, the $500 is what I would've had to pay to get the front bumper cover fixed to remove that stupid bracket.
