yep ordered july 6th in PA - low allocation dealer but at msrp. Acceped kfos 11/16 and eta Jan 1st. called dealer last week to make sure we're still at the same eta and they say yes. Not in failcat yet so I find that hard to believe with the holiday coming up that delivery date will hold.
Wow that is a very good turn around. Did you get that for msrp? It seems like most of the dealers selling at msrp have lines of people to get through, therefor the longer wait times. If you got msrp then that is a hell of a deal in timely fashion. I'm in PA and ordered from Murray kia in September and don't expect to see it until march
Yep - one of the only dealers in America with no premium so we jumped on it. It wasn’t the best experience, but I got my car in what seems to be record time so all’s well that ends well.
What was wrong with the “experience?”
Did you order from Gossett South? If so, I saw your VIN in failcat 11/17 and thought it was mine! Got SO excited, text my salesman, then he crushed my dreams telling me someone ordered the exact same configuration a month before me.
. Mine was just picked up in KFOS 2 weeks ago, so we are getting somewhere 
Enjoy the ride!! I can’t wait.
Yep that was me. Had to claw that order out of them back in Sept! Lol.Did you order from Gossett South? If so, I saw your VIN in failcat 11/17 and thought it was mine!

Went through 4 salesmen. Unresponsive, no follow-up, untrustworthy, slack…and this was BEFORE they took my deposit. Then it was like chasing a rabbit to get a straight answer; stories kept changing; order was initially wrong; pulled teeth to get something other that a generic $1k receipt that proved to me what they ordered. Picked up the car and all of my custom items were in the trunk in the box “oh we don’t usually put those on”… huh?!?! A whole roof rack… sitting in the box… Wheel locks… sitting in the box. Pulled teeth once again to get them installed before I would leave that lot. Just rotten experience all around (except for the finance manager - she was on her game…even though we didn’t finance it).
I'm in the same boat. I ordered mid July and my order still hasn't been picked up yet. Philadelphia, PA location.
also ordered mid-July, also in Pennsylvania (ordered from a dealership in Harrisburg) According to what I can see, my Telly was built at the end of October and shipped. Kia.com shows it on the inventory at the dealership but the dealer says its not there yet and it's not showing up on the local dealer's website inventory. I'm being told "its on a truck somewhere in Pennsylvania" and that this has been happening alot lately. I keep reading stories about dealerships selling the special customer orders out from under customers so I've had to really hold back on contacting my dealership every day for an update.
My advice based on my experience - don’t hold back. I made weekly calls up until a week before my scheduled delivery date; and then it was every other day, plus having a relative in the area drive by the lot daily until he saw the delivery truck. My VIN never showed up even on the “coming soon” inventory of Kia.com.

Got it, thanks for the reply and the order process. I was unsure which was first, based on the chart it seems like it's Filled then KFOS Migrate. Also "migrate" is used in two different steps. Interested to see what the status looks like in the KFOS system as the titles of each step from the chart may not match the terminology used in KFOS.This is the ordering process

If it was just picked up in KFOS, you should have an ETA any day
I would head to "Track my vehicle" thread and check with @StephenCantrelle what the ETA is. It's normal to show up on dealer website ahead of time, but you don't want it to be sold from under you.
Stephen said his information has my vehicle on the dealer lot but he also said that that doesn't necessarily mean that the vehicle is on the lot. He said it's most likely in transit still. My salesperson called last night and said the same thing happened before so it should be any day now. I've been hearing "any day now" for almost a month now. I have multiple family members checking the lot on their way to and from work. What bothers me about this whole thing is that the sales manager hasn't reached out to me at all and I can't get anything official from the dealership to make me feel better about them not selling it out from under me. the only thing I have is a photo of the order sheet and my deposit.
