Tks. He has stuck to text comm's . No complaints. Just curious, have not gone past a config sheet to build and initial questions.

Good luck!

MD made it such a smooth and easy process, I talked with Reggie for just a couple minutes on the phone and a few minutes later the DocuSign email came through. No pressure at all to buy the extended warranty but I do plan to add it in at some point before the 3/36 expires. Cody arranged shipping which wasn’t easy given the current fuel prices. I increase my shipping est to $2500 and only got 1 response for $2600 to Washington State enclosed carrier. Cody said they have been trying to ship one to Utah and placed $2100 and no one was bidding so I took it. More than I wanted to pay but still cheaper than flying/gas/food/hotels not to mention miles and wear and tear. All in all it was a great experience ordering my first truck just the way I wanted it. And I’m still $8k under MSRP at the end of the day.

Thanks for sharing the shipping update. given your're shipping enclosed carrier in the current environment, that's not as bad as I feared ! I'll be shipping to Oregon some time in mid to late May I think - have an estimated build date of 4/22, by the time it gets out of the factory, shipped, and the paperwork's all done I'm sure it'll be well into May. If it pushes to late enough in May I might just bring the kids and make a road trip out of it.
Like you, given that the absolute best I could get around the PNW was $1k under MSRP, I'm still way ahead with MD in spite of shipping or fly/drive.
What's the expected time to ship to WA, a week or so ?

I had the same experience with Reggie. No pressure or mention of any warranties but it took several days since there were things wrong or missing in the paperwork so it went back and forth 4 times. They sounded super busy so mistakes were made. No big deal. Finally finished this morning and hoping to hear from the delivery crew tomorrow.

Did you get an estimated delivery date from the response you got from the $2600 transporter? I initially wanted to get it shipped but am thinking it might take too long so I may just fly and drive back.

The truck was supposed to be picked up yesterday by the carrier and to my house Monday.

 

[Duckfan1967]

4-5 days to ship to me, was supposed to be picked up yesterday but after registering Uconnect and the Ram app you can use it to locate your vehicle and I noticed it hasn’t left the dealer.

I found the app to be a bit behind, don't count on that for accurate info. Driver hopefully contacts you direct with updates. Also, someone at Mark Dodge should contact you that truck actually picked up.

I had my truck shipped from Mark Dodge to NY...I was informed when picked up, contacted by driver with delivery date. Then he contacted me morning of delivery with ETA. At original time I was then called about heavy traffic, which I expected, but delivery made 3 hours later than original time estimated. All good with me. Delivery guy still had one more car to go after mine.

Point being, don't count on the ram app to be up to date.

Thanks for the advice, Cody said he would contact me when the carrier picks it up….I’m over anxious I guess lol

Enjoy and good luck when it arrives!!!!

How much does that come out too per mile?
I'm going to fly out and pickup and enjoy some cajun hospitality for the evening most likely and was just wondering.

My truck is at the port. Hopefully can get it to MD in the next few days. Getting close now..

Just recieved an email from Aaron that my truck just arrived at the dealership. It was at the train yard on 3/17 for those trying to calculate time, 3/24 was the end of my first ETA date range from RamChat and when I contacted them on the 24th they had extended it to 4/1. I just submitted an online credit application and will keep everyone posted on any further progress.
