woodie11 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Just wondering if there is a shipping priority or quotas for certain areas, certain dealers etc? The reason we're asking is we're comparing some other 2012 ordered edges that are in transit for other areas with a later order/build date, ours is built but doesn't show shipped. These are customer orders we're referring to not dealer stock. The vehicles are almost identical to the one we ordered except leather vs cloth seats.

They batch the vehicles to each area so the cars/trucks are full. So it is possible some areas will get their shipments later than other areas.

woodie11 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Thanks for the info. It was making us wonder the whys and wherefors... My partner just mentioned, the vehicle is going less than 50 miles to the dealer from Ford Oakville...so why would it sit there since the 20th of Sept? Could there by quality issues?

Waldo Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 The carpet supplier was flooded by Hurricane Irene so there are thousands of Edges sitting around waiting for carpet. But distance from the plant makes absolutely no difference in shipping priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodie11 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) The carpet supplier was flooded by Hurricane Irene so there are thousands of Edges sitting around waiting for carpet. But distance from the plant makes absolutely no difference in shipping priority. It's nice to know the whys. A couple of ?'s ... .When the carpet is rec'd, I would presume they would fill the orders for the cars on the production line first, for the sake of expediency? .Is there more than 1 vendor for the carpet? The majority of mfging co's have at least 2 vendors for supplies....is Ford different? We do appreciate the info, we're anxious for our new Edge! Thanks Waldo. :fan: Edited October 5, 2011 by woodie11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
