Possible delivery delays

[Nick and Linda Stratigakis]

Our delivery date was originally scheduled for early March 2022. Received email from Oliver last week saying that they may not meet the original delivery date because of the unforeseen chain supply issues. Has anyone else received similar message ?

I received a call on 11/19/21, stating the above-mentioned supply chain issues would cause a 2 week delay in my delivery, which was for early January, now rescheduled for mid-January.

Two weeks is not that bad, hope delays will not affect our travel plans 😄

[Coach and JoJo]

Our delivery was originally December 5,  It was then moved up to November 22.   2 weeks ago it was moved to December 27.   I hope that is solid!

King Moon posted that he took delivery of hull #948 on November 11.  He said his was the last 2021 to be delivered.  Has anyone taken delivery of a 2022 Ollie?

Two weeks ago our planned November 29 delivery was moved out five weeks later to January 3, the same relative delay as Coach and Jojo's  but offset by one week. If early January deliveries like Jstones's have only been moved a couple of weeks instead of five, then there might be more deliveries at the end of December and early January than normal.    

While many seasoned owners are currently winterizing and storing their Oliver, us newbies may get to test its four season capability.  Another positive with this delay is that the campgrounds may be filled with new owners while the factory catches up with deliveries, a kind of mini-rally. I hope the weather is nice enough to get out and mingle.  January is the coldest month in Tennessee.  My biggest concern about the change of delivery date is the increased chance of icy roads.

We were, and still are, scheduled for 11/29 pick up of hull 953. In mid-October Oliver wanted to move our date up to 11/17, but we couldn’t swing it. I’m betting whether you are delayed in pick-up is tied to your particular options. 
 

in any case, it will be plenty cold for our pick-up, with the potential for some “interesting” weather on our travels back to Colorado. We’ll be putting the four season features through their paces!

I feel bad for all that are being caught up in this global affair.  Hopefully these delays and changes to your schedules will not be too dramatic and your Ollie deliveries will still go relatively smoothly.

Generally speaking, the weather in middle TN isn't really too bad over the entire winter.  However, it does require that you keep an eye on the weather in that short duration storms can move through the area.  These storms can have a localized effect for short periods of time.  Obviously, for those that must travel greater distances, the odds of encountering delaying weather are greater.

When the delivery delays get over six months, yall let me know. 😂🤕

Mine moved from Dec 9 to Dec 22.  It's only about a 4 hour drive for me, so thankfully no big headaches on rearranging long-distance travel.  Same reason - suppliers.

[Steve and Cindy]

We were notified about a month ago that our delivery would slip from Feb 22 to Feb 28, and they are still showing Feb 28 as we are about to finalize and make the first payment.  A slip toward warmer weather is not necessarily a bad thing for us.

We were originally 13 Jan, then 5 Jan, and now back to 13 Jan...hull 996.  We hope for no more changes and think OTT must be doing the best they can, considering supply issues. That's as of 22 Nov.  Happy Holidays ya'll 🙂

Our delivery date went from 12/29/21 to 01/11/22 - supply delay issues ; fiberglass resin and gelcoat supplies.  No worries, flexibility is good and hope quality is not compromised to meet delayed deliveries !! 
Cheers !!  Ed

Our delivery date was moved from February 2nd to the 10th. Apparently, Oliver had to shut down for a week due to a shortage of gelcoat. We were told that is a firm date. Hope so...

[Steph and Dud B]

Our July delivery date has slipped 9 days to early August.

[topgun2]

Was there a reason given?

[Boonter Jeff]

Oh oh

[Steph and Dud B]

No reason given. Seems consistent with previous posters saying December-January-February dates had shifted about a week. We'll be OK as long as the delivery stays outside of the school year. Once school hits we'd have an issue. 😬

[johnwen]

Expecting delivery day after tomorrow 🙂

@Steph and Dud B, is your sales representative aware of your school schedule? I sure hope you get to enjoy your trailer before school starts.

Yes, we mentioned it to Jason when we paid our deposit and I mentioned it to him again yesterday.

Johnwen - 

Good luck with your delivery. 

Keep a close watch on the weather since a storm is forecast to move through the eastern US on Sunday possibly dumping a fair amount of snow in some areas.  Areas as far as south of Atlanta are in the "possible" snow area.
