It's not only common, but necessary.
Blend occurs prior to production/build, so you're going to see production and build notices follow your blend date. A day or two minimum, but a week or more isn't unheard of if there are any accessories installed, quality issues or other miscellaneous issues that arise.
\Blend is when you body and chassis meet. All the "parts" are installed after that.

I guess it depends on what accessories and how long that takes

A place called "dirt mountain" mine was a 2/24 blend, got built status on 6/27. 123 days of dirt mountain for me, some have been longer...hopefully yours not that long!

You can check with your dealer and see what their system says, it may say hold for a specific reason.
I was one of the chip hold weeks, my original blend date was 1/25/22 but sat waiting on a chip until built date of 3/23. it didnt ship until 4/15, I didnt pick up until May 9th. sometimes they are short a part, or could be a defective part?

Good Luck

My dealer has no update for me - they're seeing the same thing as me, which is a (now) 9/5 ETA. The only part that could even remotely hold it up would be roof rails, and if they're holding to this long for damn roof rails...
