Beadlock/CF orders getting pulled 02/01 forward

[hamster]

There is no 'in between' unscheduled clean and scheduled with a vin. Unfortunately order processing is the same as unscheduled clean in my estimation.

That is how I thought it went as well, but with FS being so vague now I have no idea. Here is part of my chat....

Phylicia says: Your patience is appreciated xxxx. I am showing that your vehicle is currently in order processing. I do not have an estimated time of arrival at this time. I recommend that you follow up with your local Ford dealership for additional details. Do you have any more questions for me today?

xxxx says: So is order processing same as unscheduled clean? As in it has been pulled for production or still sitting?

Phylicia says: In order processing means that the vehicle order is being processed. Unscheduled clean is the order has been received. Is there anything else that I can help you with today?

xxxx says: Sorry to be so dense. I have been unscheduled clean for like 5 months so order processing is a step forward. Correct?

Phylicia says: No problem! That is why I am here to help. To answer that question yes, in order processing is a step forward. However, your dealership may be able to provide you with additional information. Is there anything else that I can do for you today?

So I will give it a week or two and ask again, then call dealer and see what they say.

I work for a company that manufactures products in china and distributes in the US and in businesses like mine it's fairly common to hear of Chinese suppliers playing games. We have a team of 12 over in china just to ensure the supply chain is tight.

No shit - that's why Amazon is in the state it's in right now. If you're a small business and get a new product made in China - 9 times out of 10, a month after you write them a check you'll find them hawking your product direct on Amazon for half the price. And probably with your logo and company name to boot.

Ford should add eBay to their supply chain.

Unless the ones on eBay are the ones rumored to have a quality issue? How would anyone know if they are "seconds"?

Well I have been unscheduled clean like forever.....today FS says moved to order processing. We will see.

I thought in order processing was the same as unscheduled clean. Right when the staff changed at FB their answers changed from nothing yet... to in order proc. That was Feb 3. Figured they were just blowing smoke but next day dealer says filling out my order info. Then following Friday I get my vin. So hope it is a step fwd.

Hasn't been a problem for us but that's why we have a team and choose suppliers wisely. There's definitely a lot of 'white labeling' of products in many categories going on though around many popular internet retailers.

I don't think she's correct, but if what she says makes you feel better, then that works. Everyone here has gone from unscheduled clean to scheduled with a vin number.

Ordered 8/4. Was told to drop the beadlocks and here it is three weeks later. Now to find some after somebody puts some 22's on theirs to cruise the mall. Hang in there, they are really cranking them out now.
