Blower wait times for delivery?

[Wolvee]

How long are you guys waiting for Delivery by Brand? I ordered my stage 2 Gen5 Whipple over Memorial weekend. I've been given the tentative date of the "week of" the 27th but I think I should have went a different way.

How long are you guys waiting for Delivery by Brand? I ordered my stage 2 Gen5 Whipple over Memorial weekend. I've been given the tentative date of the "week of" the 27th but I think I should have went a different way. Whipple was my fall back after my first choice since my primary was not answering the phones. I'm ok to wait until the 27th but how long would you wait before trying to get a refund? Or just wait it out and deal with it. IDC much.

I have found out Lebanon Ford also has delivery delays of their Whipple cars..



*I Understand Covid and companies waiting on China for parts.

If you understand that the company is waiting on parts why are you bothering to post this?

Ive got a supercharger for sale...$36500...just happens to come with the rest of the car..no wait time.

When the gen 4 came out folks were waiting a long time for their orders (4-5 months). It seems like Whipple take a bit longer than most to clear backlogs, plus add supply chain interruptions and your two month wait doesn't come as a surprise. I'm sorry I don't have an order of a competing product to compare yours to but I'd say if they postpone your order into August/September, to start pondering a refund then. But right now, two month wait with a Whipple backlog and supply chain issues during a covid re-spike isn't too terribly out of the ordinary. But I get where you're coming from, I'd want my blower asap too.

I ordered mine in February, pre Covid. It took approx 5 and a half weeks to ship. If it was me, I'd wait. It be worse to cancel an order, then be stuck waiting as long or longer for next choice of blower to come in. Have you called Whipple and ask them what the status is?

I predict in about 6-8 mos a lot of cars and parts will be on the “for sale” block...

Why?

Just a guess, but if this Covid thing gets worse, there could be more job losses. If the govt does not extend the additional unemployment, lots of people in high cost of living area will default on loans, rent, etc. Many may have to resort to selling their possessions to stay afloat.

Bingo. Unfortunately...

Procharger ordered from Lethal in last week of April. It was delivered in just shy of two weeks. This was this year during Covid. I don’t know why whipple takes so long but PC does not.

I ordered my Gen 5 Whipple stage 1 from Lethal right as the Memorial day sale started. Got it after the 4th of July and had it installed the next week.

I ordered my Whipple Gen 5 May 20 before Memorial weekend... 9 weeks ago now... I’ve been told it is supposed to ship this week. I had no idea it would take this long.

Procharger. I was told around 2 weeks to ship. 1 week in tomorrow. ‍

The only way to know if you bought the correct blower is if its in high demand and people are willing to wait for it. The longer the wait, the more likely you got the right one....

Hellion Kit for me, ordered mid April arrived mid May, so 4 weeks. Not too bad considering the supply chain issues currently. I figured the "2 week" turnaround they normally claim might be affected, and well - it was Spring!

Wish you the best of luck!

Still waiting on mine from the Wednesday before Memorial weekend... ima be pissed if you weekenders get shipped before me...
The other downside to the long wait is I’ve had plenty of time to spend a bunch more money on OPG/sprocket and a whole bunch of new tools, fluids, sealants, containers, etc...
