There is a thread here about Canadian ordering and the Autobook / Workbench confusion. IMO, go back to your dealer and have them give you the Workbench printout with the 6-digit alpha-numeric confirmation number. Back in October mine started NDKF__. Your dealer should have no problem giving you that IMO. Don't freak out in the meantime.

I doubt it is as only a very few got a work bench print out. Not to worry ... It appears few dealers bothered to do it. Turns out it is the dealer who controls your place in line...not Work Bench date . If you gave them a deposit they would give you a deal # , just to track the paper work.

I wouldnt worry. Alot of dealers here in my city arent even taking orders, and one of them are actually one of the big Chevy dealers who sell alot of cars.

I got my Work Bench copy a week after placing the order. Printed out in color ready for framing.

It doesnt seem to look good for us Canadians anyways, even if you do have one. GM is putting americans first. Hey Black67, when did you order? Anyways I hope Im wrong but nobody wants to give us Canadians an answer as to how allocation works between Canadians and the States. Anyone want to give some insight?

If the dealer did not give you an order number immediately, he may not have placed the order yet in the GM system. If he did place the order, then he should give you a copy of the GM order with the order number. It will be a combo of letters and/or numbers. Don't let them tell you they can't give it to you.
