New Order To Delivery Time Line

[MxHonda]

For those who have just ordered or are considering, I will post the timeline of my recent order

On 6/25/05 (Saturday) I ordered my Slate Blue Metallic LUX with OffRoad Pkg, Auto Tranny, Cashmire Int, Sunroof, XM, Brush Guard, Roof Rails, and Trailering Equip.
I ordered through Coral Hummer in FL and they accepted my Real GMS auth (Father is GM Retiree). I had a long time Cadillac saleseman help me and he really knew the process well. He said he was having alot of fun helping out the Hummer sales guys because they were so busy. They were able to print a Vehicle Order Detail w/Order Number on the spot.

6/27/05 Called Hummer 800 support and they could see my order number in the system but no build date. As mentioned eariler on this forum, Tuesday and Thursday are system update days.

6/29/05 Called H S and they were able to give me a build date of 7/18/05. This falls in line with the 2 week shutdown in July as mentioned earlier. Now I can only hope that the shipping lots are cleared out in the two week downtime and when mine is built it ships quickly I will update this post as updates are available.

7/22/05 Hummer support said by build date was pushed back a week and 7/25 was now the date.

7/27/05 HS called today...Built last week and SHIPPED on 7/22! They told me to call the dealer to track it in shipping.

8/06/05 Timing is everything! I arrived at Coral Hummer today to do a drive thru and see if any Slate Blues were on the lot...As the truck was unloading 2 of them. 1 was MINE! My wife thinks I am a dork for standing there just watching the unloader work They said it would be ready for pickup Monday or Tuesday.

8/9/05 Took delivery today. Everything was perfect! OnStar & XM activated, full tank of gas, and out the door in 50 minutes with just as many handshakes and congratulations.

Exactly 6 weeks from order to dealer including a 2 week plant shutdown. Awesome!
