Delivery Date.
« on: February 19, 2005, 04:01:24 PM »

Red SEEG was to ship 2/14/05, at least that what the dealers computer said when we first started talking about this deal 2 weeks ago.  We get together on price and trade and , silly me, I expect the computer to say something like "shipped" on the 14th.  No such luck, no VIN and the computer says "reserved".  

On Monday dealer says that means its in the warehouse ( in York).  On Tuesday he says its "probably" in the truck.  Computer still says "reserved".  On Wednesday I ask why there isn't a VIN and am told Harley's behind on their paperwork.  Same thing Thursday and Friday.  Now I'm told that nothing on the computer will change untill Monday because York doesn't work on the weekends.

It would seem to me that someone, somewhere should know something.  I suggested calling the factory.  Nope, can't do that.  I can't imagine I'm the only bike purchaser in Central Washington that been anxious to receive his bike so I ask how the tracking system normally works.  More mumbo jumbo.  Lets track a recent arrival and see if we can't learn from that.  Nope again, this is a CVO bike and their different.  AAAAAGGHH.The most I can get out of them it will "probably be here by  the end of the month."  

Are there any dealer types on this board that know how this process works.  Anyone at all.  What does "reserved" mean.  Do bikes actually ship on their ship date?  Why no VIN number?  What does that mean, if anything?  Should I just grow up and be patient (not what I'm known for).  Sorry, just had to get this out.  I know many here have waited much longer than I have and I apologize for coming off as childish and selfish.  How come I feel this way??

Doubt it will be Monday, either.  I believe the MoCo is union and Monday is a holiday.

DDL,

Sorry to hear of your experience...

I have a personal friend that owns three dealerships and I will attempt to gain an answer to these questions.

I can tell you that he has experienced delays on a regular basis regarding the delivery of bikes to his dealerships.

As to the reserved question, as I understand it, that means it is reserved for a given dealer.

If you can confirm the ship date as the 14 th you should have it at the dealer next week. I live 30 minutes from York and got my red seeg two days after the ship date. The dealer should be able to give you a confirmation number if they actually have it comming. I hope this isnt one of those sleazy dealers who try and sell it to someone with more monies. Anyway goodluck, and you definitley have the fever!!!

My delivery date was kinda strange.
The computer kept saying ship date Jan 17th.
The dealership called on the 14th and said your bike is here!
I picked it up on the 15th.

Kinda strange ,, HUH? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

DDL-Hey fellow newbie. At least the MoCo has something about you in the computer. Last week I had no build date, no ship date and no vin. But the dealer still thinks it will ship out at the end of this month--Will the curse of the YELLOW continue ????????????? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Took another run at the dealer today and asked him to pull the order up on the computer.  He didn't want to; said it was a holiday and nothing will have changed.  I suggested that we check anyway and what do you know, it has shipped.
