Default Allied is not shipping any corvettes today!

Just got off the phone with Allied and he <tim?> said all corvettes are on HOLD today. I asked him what that meant and he said they are not shipping any of them today but did not go into detail as to why?

Don't shoot the messenger but that’s exactly what he just told me at 10:48am today. Any additional information/reinforcement would be appreciated.

Allied was supposed to have my car delivered 10/15 and my dealer found out they never even loaded it on a carrier. My order is now flagged for a 10/19 shipment with an estimated delivery of 10/21.

Good time to start a rumor: Allied's trucks are all being held to have potential defects in their transmissions checked and repaired. I just made that up, but it sounds like a juicy bit of misinformation.

I heard they forgot to fill the trucks with gas and they are all stuck out on the highway.

I think they are on hold to check the dilithium crystals in the warp drive.

Well, one got thru and just delivered mine at 7 am this morning at Richard Hibbard in Claremont.

I'll be there this afternoon to pay for it and pick it up.

That's right. The General has dispatched a fleet of Silverado's to tow them to their final destination.

Congratulations!

I wonder how many of the other 10/15 deliveries will really be there today.

Mine was released as "OK to Ship" Wednesday. Monica @ Maxie Price said a truck is supposed to leave BG Saturday or Monday. I believe she has an entire truck load of just hers and I hope mine is on there also.
