Huh?
I thought you worked at a dealerhip?
Regardless, this has already been discussed on this forum (try the 'Search' tool, that may help).
I'm not sure if 'stripes' or 'no stripes' makes that much of a difference anymore. It may have been an issue in the beginning, but this has more or less been resolved (may be an extra few days or up to a week for stripes).
It may also help to read some of the member's signatures as some may provide some sort of timeline between build date and received date.
Good luck with your search!
