Sucks man, but glad you have a sled to ride.
Really hoping polaris can pull a miracle in the next few weeks.

Received a call from my dealer ( just this morning) for the first time since snowcheck order. The only email I ever received from was Polaris putting me on the 12/ 15 “shipped by group but have just been informed my starfire SBA is pushed back to quote: any day in February (then add weeks to that for arrival) . I consider myself lucky to be honest as I have something else to ride but did sell my primary best sled to owning my new Polaris. I felt bad for my dealer having to call me and tell me this as he sounded stressed over the phone (truly) and appreciates my understanding as to where the fault lay. A short conversation ended with saying something positive that it could maybe come in earlier based on how totally unpredictable this whole mess is. We also both agreed it would not be wise to think 2023 snowcheck what so ever! Im still looking forward to getting it and will point my complaints in the only direction it should first be sent to no matter what anybody thinks on this sight. Polaris.... for what it’s worth, I asked what is the reasons for delay and they said still a spindle, 7s, EGT, oil cap, and... ignition! Snowchecked in March so looking at a 1 yr Offer by Polaris there priority, hardcore , loyal , customers as mentioned .Hang in there guys don’t beat up on your dealers they are hand cuffed just like us.

That's unfortunate. I totally agree this is not on the dealers. This falls on Polaris 100%.

 

The dealers are as far away the east is from the west on having anything to do with it. The whole calendar is completely off buy season to deliver the vehicles they produce. SBS and ATVs are coming in now, sleds are coming in spring for sure, watercraft is coming in in winter..... a mess. My dealer is over flowing with new dirt bikes and some street bikes at the moment... he’ll sit on those till summer.. think of your dealer threw all this as to what there being asked to Handel and do! Id leave the doors wide open and walk away if was me.

 

Maybe a person wouldn't feel so betrayed if the patterns they continue to follow changed at all. I switched dealers thinking the late deliveries in the past had something to do with that....I guess not....just the way they do business.??

I may feel somewhat sympathetic if they didn't blab and brag that they extrapolated their needs and secured strong relationships with suppliers and "learnt lessons" from previous year snowcheck fuckups and that they were certain they could deliver their snowcheck demands because of the infrastructure they had laid down despite the pandemic.

What a load of horseshit.

 

i feel for all those involved. gmc no better, we have no trucks to sell. especially sucks since we have the market to sell every one we got. i came so close to ordering but bought a leftover. mostly since i didn't like the matryx seat. lucky me. hopefully they pull off some sort of miracle

 

Ship by any day in Feb or expected delivery in Feb?

 

February 31 ?

 

It's ugly.

 

I got told February on my SBA, but that was a month and a half ago.

There are going to be many, many more posts like this in the next few days, unfortunately.

Next few hours lol

 

What Polaris model/pkg/color did you actually snowcheck...And would you be willing to take a roadtrip to get your exact sled or something close that may be sitting on a dealers showroom floor with all it's components and ready to be delivered to any off the street buyer...

 

I ordered a xcr rwb 850 136 with 7s and 1.35 cobra. Would be willing to travel to make that happen

 

My dealer called me to get ahead of the email from Polaris going out Monday. I ordered a XCR 850 7s, RWB, Ice ripper XT and it is now pushed back to January. No firm date in January provided. Dealer advises they have received approximately 20% of their Snow Check orders. I am in Southern Ontario.

 

I forgot to add, my dealer advised me the delay is the 7s guage.

 

My XCR is pushed back to January. Scheduled to ship sometime between January 1st and January 31st. Clearly ordering 8 months in advance wasn't enough for Polaris.

 

Same here

 

I certainly feel for those without the sled they ordered but this isn't a Polaris or Ski Doo or Arctic Cat or even an industry thing. The global supply chain is broken. It's as simple as that.

 

Again, just stop with the excuses. Polaris has stock sleds out there with spindles that would likely finish off my sled. They also could have offered standard gauges to people instead of the 7S as a solution as well.

 

Got the call from my dealer yesterday, my VR1 850 137 arrived, but without spindles.. Now knowing it's there ready to go, minus spindles bothers me even more. Lol.

 

I'm in the exact same boat!!

 

It's official, my 2022 XCR 850 RWB 136" with 1.6" Cobra and 7s display that was slated for 12/15 ship date just got pushed to a date range of 1/1/2022 thru 1/31/2022. Highly unlikely I'm sure that I will see it before February 1st since you have to figure in shipping time and some dealer prep. Dealer says I could cancel anytime before the ship date and get my $500 back but once it ships no refunds. I asked about moving it to a 2023 snowcheck and he said he could keep the $500 deposit and move it to a 2023 if I decide to go that route. Anyone know how real these rumors are of a 2023 boosted trail sled?

 

Not sure but I don't see the supply chain issues getting any better with who's currently in office....

 

Also just got the call about Monday email coming out pushing everyone back....was told 7S but that was a guess. They should just send without gauge!!!

 

There's a huge 146" track shortage. My dealer has 10 or so pushed back to February/March.

 

I have a Assault coming with a 1.6" 146 track and received the Dec16th - Dec 31st.

 

Just got the phone call from my dealer - Indy XC 650 pushed back to March...lol. Basic 129 sled with basic gauge.

 

Juist got the phone call from my dealer - Indy XC 650 pushed back to March...lol

Did you order this via snow check or was a dealer stock sled?

 

Was just at the dealer, they have received 8 of 93 snowchecks and are waiting for the email….
I’ve got over 2k in accessories and no where to put them. Agreed it’s not the dealers fault.

 

Yup, I want to get my wife a VR1 650 next year, but I will probably just keep an eye out end of this season.

 

Those arent the easiest to find.Hopefully a bunch of guys back out of their late delivered snowchecks.

 

I was planning on ordering my wife one also. But for 2024. I will order it next year now so I have it by then.

 

In the Snowcheck program it states we must take delivery by 12/31. Polaris obviously can’t enforce that, due to their issues. Now, they are saying we can’t get our deposit back after it ships, which may be in March. I think for that to hold up in court they would actually have to give you an exact ship date. They have demonstrated their inability to do this. People have been given a ship date by Polaris, only to be called by their dealer the next day to tell them their sled has arrived.

 

My wife wants an XC 650... well she really wants an 850... but she don't need an 850, Don't need to see her in the pickers

 

Oh, but she might like them pickers….

 

I had planned to replace my wife's SR Viper in the spring with a 600 XC and upgrade my son from a FX Phazer to a used 600 Assault. At this rate I will just go through each one of them tip to tail and long track the Phazer.

 

Trail passes in Ontario are 200 bucks if you order them in advance. I guess that will be another 200 wasted if they dont show up till feb or mar.

 

Didn't buy one this year for the first time since inception, had a gut feeling snow checks would be late. Figured i would just pay full pop when the sled arrives. Likely just ride the lakes this year IF the sled comes in before snow melts, if we get snow.

 

Just got a follow up email from Polaris my dates now pushed back to Dec 31. Current excuse is drive shaft shortages, okay then why are so many floor models built first? They have the same drive shaft as a VR-1 snow check model that’s now delayed all so called Star fire series sleds should have ran down the assembly line first.

 

All snow-checks should’ve gone first, Starfire or XC’s… been saying this for months when dealer selected sleds started showing up
