Maybe due to XmasThey have removed the expected delivery date
or info being updatedMaybe due to Xmas
You can also send a PM to the FordService rep here who can provide info on your order. Not sure if they can tell you when it will actually ship or not. Shipping sometimes depends on the availability of railcars. There was a time a few years ago when shipments were delayed quite a while due to the unavailability of railcars for some reason.Dont count on this to be accurate. It says that awaiting shipment will take a few days to a week but I have been waiting for 12 days and still waiting. My page does not even show an expected delivery day anymore. It is better to call Ford and speak with a rep.
It was just released from the plant on Tuesday, FayeMathe. It should get moving within the next week or so.Dont count on this to be accurate.

FordService reps will not be back until Tuesday.Does that mean it has been shipped?
No, it means that all is good for it to be shipped.Does that mean it has been shipped?
Thanks for being so patient and honest with me. There is an Explorer nearby at a dealer that I will go look at tomorrow. It has been eight weeks so far and I need a car!No, it means that all is good for it to be shipped.

But is the plant closed for shipping this week?Lewisra is correct, FayeMathe; that means it's ready and waiting to ship out. I went ahead and took a peek today; while your Explorer hasn't moved out yet, it does look like it's preparing to. The status is still set to "Awaiting Shipment."
Thanks, Peter!

As mentioned before, the shipping depends upon the availability of railcars (post 6). The vehicles are gathered in a large parking area first. They are not shipped out one at a time. Also as mentioned, shipping continues even though the plant may be closed.I guess I read somewhere that it takes 60 seconds to get one Ford off of the production line so what else is involved before shipping? Maybe I could be more patient if I knew the process.
Mine was delivered today. Status still says awaiting shipment. Maybe yours is half way to MS. When was your build date?I guess I read somewhere that it takes 60 seconds to get one Ford off of the production line so what else is involved before shipping?
