I've never gotten any e-mail from VOTS. Was ordered on 3/5/2013 by dealer (I got a printout from them confirming), was on vots 3/7/2013 in "Production Scheduled" status. Then nothing was happening on vots and no e-mails from vots, or anyone else for that matter. Then, yesterday, 3/18/2013 vots suddenly showed "Shipment" status. Today, 3/19/2013, I see my jeep in dealer inventory having "In Transit" status. Dealer says it actually can take up to 2 weeks for them to actually receive it. Got my VIN and window sticker today, from dealer's inventory page. Dealership staff has been quite passive. Confirmed VIN through VOTS, it's my VIN, wooha!

I ordered 2013 Sahara with side airbags, tow package and 3.73 axle ratio. Not too many options, that may be one of the reasons it was relatively fast.

Billet Silver 2013 JKUR came home today (only options saddle leather seats, hardtop). 25 days from order to delivery. Really wanted billet silver on the outside and really wanted tan on the inside, but wasn't sure about how the two would look together. Now that I see it, loving it - absolutely no regrets. Better pics when the blizzard stops blizzing. VOTS still shows it 'Shipping'

I don't think dealers know exact date either. Mine gave me an estimated date of today and it hasn't arrived yet. They tell me they see in-transit status in their system, but it doesn't actually tell them where the vehicle is. They tell me they don't have updates like it was loaded on a train, it got off-loaded from the train, it got loaded on a truck, the truck is around the corner, etc. I think once enough vehicles accumulated somewhere at a shipping location for a specific dealer they put them on a truck, and deliver them. But the date is an estimate because it can swing a bit.

Yeah, my dealer, I have to call and leave messages and send text messages for a period of time before getting any response. I AM JEEP also sees that vehicle is in transit and not more.

Well, I disagree as here is a screenshot from my dealers computer.
