Congratulations on your Jeep’s arrival. Mine is showing on my dealer’s site as in transit. Jeep Chat has no ETA as to the ship date.

Do you know if yours went via rail? I’ve heard, from Jeep Chat and dealer, that trucking without rail was the the primary mode of transportation to my area.
Yes, mine was shipped by train to somewhere near Petersburg, VA and then loaded onto a truck for the 4ish hour trip to the dealership.

The details are in my signature but I went into KZ on 7/5 and I hope to pick it up tomorrow (7/16). Fingers crossed.

Just had a call from my dealer. My JLUR is still in KZ status, but has traveled by rail from Ohio to Utah and is in line for a transport truck to Idaho. It has been 14 days so far, the ETA is another week. Progress is better that nothing, yet I think Jeep really needs to improve their customer notifications.

YES! I finally took delivery of Chihuahuito, my JL 2 door Sport. It's everything I've ever wanted. I got him muddy at White Sands National Park yesterday and what a blast driving. Ordered March 13, built May 29, finally finally delivered July 26. Whew! ...and Woo!!!

I'm beginning to think my incessant shipping tracking isn't healthy.

Mu JLUR left Toledo on 7/26. It checked in in Elkhart, Indiana on 7/29. It took three days to move that far. I just looked and found that it's possible to walk from Toledo to Elkhart in less than 48 hours. I literally could have walked faster between Toledo and Elkhart.

Augh, the wait! It's painful!

I just joined the KZ club. There's still no ETA though. How long does it usually take to ship once in KZ?

I just went KZ over the weekend and the dealer says there is going to be a delay due to too few trucks to bring out vehicles although I thought they went train first. No clue but I was told it would be a little delayed. I ordered 7/19/18 and am in KZ status on 7/30/18. 11 days from order to shipping out of factory. Wow

Mine has been in KZ status for over 3 weeks and has been at the TDSI railyard in Dacula GA since 7/21.

Theyve missed their first ETA by 7 days now and they cant seem to tell us if it is actually still at the railyard.

Both the dealer and myself have reached out to Jeep and every time they just tell us to wait a couple of days and call back.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Got my sticker today, does that mean it shipped?
