Order to delivery time

I ordered AWD SXP with tow package on 3/21. Dealer said order accepted last week of April. Still no VIN number. Dealer said probably will arrive after July 4th. Living in North Dakota and having a small dealership probably affected time to get it allocated.
 
Same order in Colorado with the tow package, ordered 4/17 ... not a peep.
I ordered 4/7, accepted by Kia on 4/16 ish. Got confirmation that my SXP will be delivered on/close to 8/7. That may be the same timeframe for you.
 
I ordered a Gravity Grey with Grey Interior SX-P with Tow Package on March 25th. Just received notification on May 22nd that they are fulfilling my order. Still waiting for an actual delivery date
Just got an update. My Telluride was shipped on June 19th, expected to be delivered to the dealer by July 9th!!
______________________________
 
I finally have my vin, but dealer said my date has changed from 6/28 to 7/14 they are going to try to see if they can get it put on a truck quicker as its just sitting at a hub. at least I know its ready and built finally.
now they are saying 7/21 the vehicle is built just needs to be shipped to them, they need to get some more trucks on the road to deliver these already made vehicles. smh
 
Ordered Grey/Grey AWD SXP without tow on 3/25. Not a peep from the dealer yet. I'm in NJ.
 
After only 4 1/2 weeks our SX came in today. Picking up tonight. I will post pictures this weekend. We are excited. Thanks everyone for all the great info.
Here are some pictures. Black Copper.

Ordered 3/29, I know it has been fulfilled because it is on the dealer site for two weeks now but no idea on when it will be here.

Ordered Dark Moss SX w/ Prestige on April 19th. Still no VIN (we are in the Chicago area). Seems like we're a little behind others.

I’m in the same boat and same order date. We have dune brown interior and towing.
 
Mine was 4/24. I got a email from the dealer today say my order will be filled any day now. My salesman was contacted by Kia after they read a post of mine on their site about not being able to get one. Yes..the corporate office reads those posts on FB.

I hope they read this forum and know how desperately I need my 7/7 delivery before the holiday 🙂

Ordered my white with dune brown SXP on April 16th in NJ. I spoke in person with the dealer yesterday and I should have my VIN by Wednesday and the car is supposed to arrive sometime next week!!

I was told 7/6-7/7 as well, but not really expecting it until at least a week after the holiday.. 😭 The wait has been painful!

Good luck... Ordered a Black On Black In Black... SXP AWD Tow back in April.... Have talked to everyone from salesperson to head of Dealership to KIA HQ in Irvine CA... NO ONE know squat on anything other than I ordered and paid money up front. Even HQ said it "shouldn't" have taken more than 6-8 weeks...but... April... now July ...not a peep.

they changed my date again now its 7/21 this is getting ridiculous. if I don't get it for the same payment or lower when it arrives I'm going to raise hell. this is so unprofessional and has cost me so much extra wasted money waiting on the vehicle I wanted. this has been my worst experience purchasing anything ever.

Hurray... The dealership called me yesterday and mentioned that the car arrived 2 weeks ahead of time. Ran to the dealership and picked it up. The Finance guy gave me a quote of $3800 for the 10 year bumper to bumper coverage. Thanks to this forum I negotiated it down to $1400. Over all it was a pleasant experience. Got $4000 off MSRP. $1500 kia finance, $ 1000 dealer rebate, $ 1000 conquest rebate, $500 - lease cost paid by the dealership for extending my current car lease for 2 months because of the wait....
Test ride the car and so far see no issues which were reported in this forum... Very happy with the purchase ...car drives like a dream ...IMG-20190703-WA0014~3.jpgIMG-20190703-WA0024~2.jpgIMG_20190703_150454.webp

Additional Accessories ordered (Sport Visors, Rear Bumper Cover, Interior Light Kit, Illuminated Scuff Plates & Side Steps -when I placed order the dealer indicated they were not available to place on the order, when vehicle came in they ordered (I had tracked down Side Steps part number & previously verified with parts - only 324 available-all in California warehouse - all parts in 29 Jun
Picked up with all accessories today-took two days to get additional accessories installed - was ready yesterday but my scheduled didn’t allow me to pick up
Took it from dealer today to have Premium Shield Elite PPF, Autobahn Ceramic I3 tint all windows & windshield, Feynlabs Ceramic Self Heal Plus coating, Feynlab leather, Feynlab Tire Coating and will re-badge with Vintage Metalskins from Sal when he receives and ships.

Dealer was upfront - no surprises - my Sales Person Jessica Almaguer was great - she kept me informed every step of the way - also Floor Manager Roger Salmeron helped answer any questions I had - overall a good experience- would have liked to have been able to get a little off Invoice- but with incentives & Founder Club and value of vehicle I am happy.
I have posted pics - weather was cloudy - since it has Side Steps - I have posted more for those interested in side steps - I think I maybe one of the first with side steps

Got the call mine was ready today. Went to pick it up...the interior was the wrong color! All the other options were right so now will have to wait for them to figure out what happened and get it fixed.
