Kia of Columbia in Missouri

I'm afraid to ask for an update. Anybody know whether their timeline is still accurate?

Doesn't hurt to ask.

When I ordered in August, I was told to expect my Telly in Oct, which is laughable now that I write it out. I'm still waiting for my order to get picked up in KFOS. I received the typical video "update" last week that wasn't much of an update

And I saw another post from someone that just ordered from Matt, and he was quoted 6 months. So at least he's acknowledging to some people that it's taking longer...

I just checked, and was advised the estimate is now at least six months. Definitely a bummer, but I appreciate their honesty.

When did you place your order? Did they tell you where you stand in line?

 

[davemcd]

Order was placed around 8/17. SX N/T/P. I asked about my place in line and the person who responded wasn't able to tell me.

I got an update a few days ago saying they got allocated 7 spots this month and that they should be letting people know this week which ones got accepted

Has anyone been told what number or how many orders are ahead of them. I ordered the first week of October and was told 6 months. I’m just curious if 7 is good??

It seems like it has been very difficult to get any of the sales people to give an idea of the line/number of orders. I’ve asked a few times and the question has been… pretty much ignored. I ordered july 28 and was told 2-3 months. I have yet to have my order picked up, and last time I pushed for answers I was told that December was a reasonable expectation.

I ordered in August. At the time, I was told that I was in a pool of about 20 people. At 7 allocations per month, we're looking at 3 months just to get those orders allocated. But there are other factors, such as which trim levels are receiving allocations. From what I understand, it's not always the same each month.

Did anyone get notified their ordered was picked up?

 

[Jsm172]

haven’t heard anything but was planning on texting Matt today and asking

I texted Matt a few days ago and I have yet to receive a response. Sometimes I have to reach out more than once to receive an answer from him.

Matt responded to me today. My order wasn't picked up yet. I hope you guys receive better news

 

[kwilli]

Matt contacted me too. Nothing new to update, which I was expecting since I just ordered October 7

 

[prettyh8machine]

Got my update today. Nothing to report

 

[Kaweeyaga]

Got my update today. Nothing to report

Let's hope we make the November club

Some of y’all probably got updates recently too, but Matt shared this week that KFOS was open and that they got “gifted” extra allocations for this month.

My order finally got picked up he said, but I don’t have an ETA yet. Just for reference, I ordered end of July.

Congrats!

Quick question for those of you who have ordered and picked up your vehicles. How long was your wait time between learning your order was picked up to delivery of your vehicle? I'm still waiting to hear my ETA, but I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect. Anyone gone all the way through the process yet?

"Ordered" (gave trim/feature wants & preferences of colors) mid March 2021, heard in April they had an extra allotment coming that worked, picked up May 24.
