If they received ALL the pre-orders, they would have called me before you. (and likely others before me)
I suspect a DLX conspiracy. g. |

I got bored today and dug a little bit on shipments.. Found a container for Vitacci that's on route to Texas.. Supposedly it's ATV and is scheduled to be in Tx on 6/24. It landed in Long Beach on 6/16 and the Port there released it on the 17th.
So if you've been waiting for something from Vitacci, you might be in luck. |

Here's an update on the 2nd shipment from Tao.. It finally landed in Chicago this morning then quickly passed customs.. I sure hope it's ATVs, if not ATVs, bikes or whatever others here are waiting on.
Fingers crossed. |

Still nothing from Q9. I'd cancel my order and order from someone else, but that would likely just push back a delivery date into August if I'm lucky.
I cannot believe that if they're ordering containers full of product that they don't know precisely where things are at and when they'll reach them. It's simply not plausible. g. |

They tell everyone they're the distributor, but have no idea when they're going to get stock. There's no way in the world, if they were the distributor, they wouldn't know when something is going to arrive. For example, when I spoke with BV powesports, before I ordered my scooter in mid May, they told me they're expecting a shipment in mid June. They nailed the date and at that time, the ship hadn't even set sail from China. BV got their shipment of Znen scooters on 6/16. On the other hand, Q9 keeps telling me 2 weeks. Ok. last week when I called, the said 1week, maybe 2 or 3 weeks. They're just pulling time frames out of the air. Believe me on this.. If they really were a distributor, they would know because someone is going to have to pay Customs... (I wish they would prove me wrong) And depending on the type of ship it's coming on, it can take up to 3 week. (Larger container ships take about 21 days and smaller ones take about 14 days). Sheesh.. this I learned from trying to track what's coming in from TaoTao. BTW, the last TaoTao shipment I'm aware of that come in was a load of helmets. It landed Vancouver on 6/25 and that container is on a train to Chicago. It's for BCS International. There was a second container that landed there too, and it's going to Tao Motor of Canada.. more helmets. I can't find anything on actual vehicles. What's up with all these helmets? |

I remember one of the dealers I talked to in may said taotao was out of helmets at the same time as vehicles. Probably why they are shipping them by the container full. Seems the quads and bikes should be coming too though so kinda weird.

I just checked 6 dealers and all are out of stock. Only one gave even a remotely confident answer as to when they would be seeing more; Blue Line Industries out of Florida says mid-July on their Facebook page. I think when they start to roll in, you'll see a few dealers getting their inventory at the same-ish time, but the websites won't update to reflect this, since those units will already be sold via pre-order. I see it as completely plausible that Q9 has no frickin' clue when their containers of bikes are going to arrive; I order a lot of crap from overseas, mostly China, and I have 7 orders that tracking information makes no sense. Some of it says it left country of origin, some say they are Stateside already, but those statuses (stati? statusi?) have been that way for weeks upon weeks. A lot of this may be the fiasco going on with shipping literally anything out of China, plus US customs. They are probably mandating a 14 day qaurantine of all the shipping containers too, if not a full decontamination process before the goods are allowed through. |

As for when stuff arrives, these things aren't like stuff the general public orders where we just follow tracking info. They're on a schedule. Tao China knows exactly when they expect to ship and files with the freight company and US customs. When this happens they know pretty much to within a couple days as to when it will arrive in the US. Basically their given a schedule. US customs doesn't hold these containers for any given quarantine period. They basically scan them through because they know exactly what's in them. They just won't release them until someone pays them. All the info, the scheduling and what not can be tracked with the Bill of Lading. That's how I've been able to see when shipments are arriving. But finding the BOL is a pain because I don't want to pay for a service. There are services out there where you pay to access this info through US Customs. Here's an example... Use this BOL to to see what comes up. : NB0BF3901800 http://ecomm.one-line.com/ecom/CUP_H...&sessLocale=en This is the helmets going to BCS.
