Tracking your New Order – Step by Step / FAQs

[Schmagagled]

Is it me or did RaptorFinder.com just turn into a pay-to-play site?

Yesterday all the VINS were showing up and now today there is a mask (******) on the last six characters. And the header info stuff at the top is gone and added is a link to "Buy more credits".

Glad I already know my VIN and the status of my new truck so I don't have to use the site anymore if they are making it pay only. I just thought it was interesting to be able to see the stats. I don't need to use it to find a truck.

Yep, Raptorfinder is a pay site now.

Good for him. Good for future shoppers.

Stops people who already have a Raptor from abusing it and subsequent blocks from Ford because of the window sticker digging.

Browsing the site to see the stat totals (e.g. - how many SCREW vs SCAB were made) is still free. You only need to pay if you want to use it to find one on a dealer lot. If you already have an order in there's really no need to use the site. Just got tired of seeing all the threads with people saying "paid MSRP for my Raptor by using raptorfinder.com" and not even seeing a $5 donation in my inbox.

I don't blame you one bit. I just browse the site for stats. Wish your square account would have taken CC, would have sent you money awhile ago.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with attempting to get rewarded for your hard work and effort that went into making the site, but I think the way you currently have your 'credits' setup is going to deter users. If I were interested in using your site, I would be much more willing to pay a flat rate, say $25 or so, to gain access to all VINs, instead of on a $ per VIN case.

I have placed an order for a 2018 Raptor, so I am no longer looking for an existing one on a dealer showroom, but back when I was, I must've clicked on dozens and dozens of window stickers to confirm it had the options I was looking for. As good as your site is, it doesn't list all options.

Anyway, just thought you would appreciate some feedback from a previous user.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought about doing what you said, but then I'd run into one person paying and then giving out the login for public use. This was the best alternative I could come up with. The average person shouldn't need to look at more than 25 listings unless they have extremely broad search parameters.

As far as the window sticker issue what options were you looking for? I included the most popular ones, but would consider adding others if people wanted them.

By the way, I just paypal'd you $5 for my previous use of the site. Thanks again.

My Raptor is just sitting in the rail yard in vegas 15 miles away from the dealer... FP said an eta of 2 July, now its 14 July and they are claiming it will take about a week to be delivered. This is very frustrating.

Maybe its still growing? Ever think about that? maybe theyre training it and waiting til its ready to go to its forever home?
