Order Processing
« on: 02 November 2013, 19:52 »
Hi Guys.

I'm in the third week of "Processing your order" on the Tracker 1 through 7 stages.
Is this normal, or are there situations where the order can be "slow tracked"?
Thoughts please.

Ordered my GTD last Saturday. First time I checked was Wednesday and it was at Stage 2 - With the Factory.

Mine was processing from July 19th to August 15th, but as I already had a tracker number from my dealer I wasn't too worried.

Have you got a number from your dealer?

JellyB: Not sure which number you refer to, but order number is the requirement for the tracker and that is what I entered.

Placed mine yesterday, and it's already on 2 "with factory". I was going to ask when it goes to build week confirmed, but grateful it's already with the factory.


For those who have order recently, have you been quoted the 25 week, or sooner? I've been strictly been told 7/3/14, and it will be that at the latest, but should be early. I'm not holding my breath about that, and am just hoping I'll get it by June next year.

Sorry, wasn't thinking! You are right.

For me it did stick at processing for about 4 weeks before it went into the factory. Not sure if that is what everyone else had though.

I wasn't given a number until 3 weeks after making the order. At which point I checked the tracker, and it was on with factory. Still is! :whistle:

jellyB:

Yes. It seems odd, to say the least, that some orders fly though the processing phase, yet others, as described on this forum take weeks. No apparent reason, one way or the other.
As I indicated to the dealer that I would prefer delivery for 14 plate, is it possible that the dealer, when putting through the order, specified a "go slow" in some way?
Anyway, I'm cool on delivery, 14 plate or otherwise. I am just interested in the logistics of the whole "screwed up VW operation".

Unused allocation slot at the dealership ordered through leads to a quick turnaround?

Ginagee:

Your case, along with mine and many others, underlines the fact that there is no rhyme or reason for such disparities in order to delivery times.
