Canadian Ordering Experiences

[Fastmover]

I too have the AD6 LED Lighting Group Option, confirmed on the build sheet. If it would help to pressure them to get an actual answer, instead of guessing, I'd be happy to email you a copy. PM me with your email if you think it would help.

Mine was ordered April 29 and build May 23.

I got an answer which I believe, and he was on the phone to Toronto in front of me. Toronto said there's no restriction on LED today, although that's what has held up my order. I think (hope) they're currently trying too clear out a very large LED order backlog. I'll wait a couple weeks to see if there's movement for me. If not, I'll PM you for that copy. Much appreciated.

I order 4/27 with Downsview Chrysler. ( Rex Lu and Carlos Baptista. great deal great service and solid communication. the wait is killing me slowly.
No VIN yet.

You ordered 4/27 and no VIN? sounds very strange. Have you called Jeep Chat with your VON and asked them for a VIN?

The good news (for me) is that mine is on a train and heading to Canada.

The bad news is it will arrive a week after I head out on a 6-week trip. It's going to have to wait in the dealer's storage lot until I return to claim her.

I must say, I sure love the tech available today that enables us to track this level of detail.

Order March 16. Picked up June 1. 11 weeks to the day. Long 11 weeks, but definitely worth the wait.
Sales person was amazing, and very patient with me. Constantly updated with status, any status changes. Even trying to get to the bottom of some initial delays.

Our new Wrangler JLU just arrived in Canada today, en route to its new home near Vancouver BC.

I've been following its progress, wondering when it will finally arrive here. I'm sure that other Canadians have also wondered about order, build, transport and delivery timing so I'm posting my timeline to serve as an example to help frame your expectations.

Unfortunately, I will be away on a six-week trip when my JLU arrives so I won't be able to comment on the final dealership delivery experience until early August.

She's some nice bye'!

that's great. congrats. I ordered mine in Ontario 2 days before yours (4/27) and don't even have a VIN number yet....

 

[Sid88]

spoke with Jeep Canada, they say I need to escalate via dealership.

As they say, "Your mileage may vary."

It is tough waiting, especially when you don't have a defined production schedule and delivery date. I cannot understand why you don't have a VIN yet and why Jeep cannot provide a straight answer as to why.

I ordered 5/14 erin dodge. No VIN yet, waiting to see if week 5 brings some good news. I was told that it takes some time, but goes quickly after that. After reading so many posts, who knows what to think.

 

[Brickwall]

Went to our dealer today. Our Jeep was still in JS with a tentative ship date of June 20th (was May 30th). So we had our deposit refunded and walked away.

shoot, sorry to hear that! i don’t see myself getting anything else, and need the space for my dogs crate. really hoping it works out for us. or we’ll jist have to wait i suppose.

 

[Rubicam]

Ordered April 14th. So far still appears to be in D1. Was promised a mid-June delivery.

If it hasn't arrived by July 1st, I'll likely cancel and go with a 2019 model year and evaluate the Diesel option.

I'm sorry to say but, based on that timing, your drop-dead date is quickly approaching. My JLU, heading to Vancouver, was built and passed inspection on May 24 and its railcar just arrived in Edmonton yesterday (16 days). After it gets here, it takes a few more days to transport to the dealership and PDI. The estimated delivery date I have been given is June 23 - 27, a full month after it passed final inspection and was released for rail shipment.
