Anyone else completed and waiting for a ship?
How long once aboard the ship does it take for arrival on the East Coast?

 

Once you get loaded, it takes 8-14 days to cross the pond, depeding on which ship you are on and which VDC you MINI is going though.

 

Thanks! Now to find what ship it will be on...
(and wait some more)

 

My laser blue/white stripes MCS is in the paint shop with an expected completion today. Will be watching to see what ship it goes out on along with all of you others awaiting transport across the pond for your own!

Yup, mine is at the dock waiting to hop a ride to Charleston, but I don't know which ship yet. I sure hope it's one of the fast ones

 

I spoke to my MA and mine will be coming to Charleston as well. Guess ours might get to ride together. My MA is supposed to let me know when mine is put on a ship, so I can track it.

 

You can do this your self with your Vin number - I have always been the kinda guy - Take care of my self - then it is more likley to get done... You get your vin # from OL or ask mini... then just go to http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...trackType=Auto and enter your vin number... there is a sticky at the top area of "first gear" https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=70301 this should help you...

 

Hi.

I am new to the Mini world. No Name yet for my ordered Mini but working on it. Ordered 10/8/2007 and ask Mini say 10/19/2007 for completion.

* 2007 mini cooper s
* Laser blue / black roof/ black bonnet stripes/dealer installed Union Jack mirrors
* blue color line and fluid silver interior
* blue leather /cloth combo

* premium
* cold Weather
* white turn signals
* rear fog
* 16 " All season tires
* DSC

Does any one know what type of all season tires are shipping with the MCS?

Cheers

 

My MCS is also "Awaiting Transportation", but no matter how many times I enter the VIN into the WW logistics site, it does not show as scheduled for shipment

I read that "Isolde" is scheduled to sail from Southampton to Port Hueneme on 10/22. Anybody been confirmed on that ship yet?

 

Is there a way to check if you are put on a k-line by entering the VIN? I keep checking the WW and no such luck. Just wanted to check k-line as well.

 

Sorry the problem with being on a K-Line ship, there is no online tracking. So if you are boarded on one their ships, about the only source for ships name is from your MA.

 

The WW site won't "usually" show booking info before 24 -48 hours prior to that ship arriving at Southampton.

 

24-48 hours prior to departure from Southampton or arrival at Port Hueneme?

 

oops.....Sorry for confusing posts, that should have been "ship arriving at Southampton".

 

Sometimes the booking number will be available a lot sooner if there is someone from NAm that has missed a previous WW ship. They will have access to the booking number sooner.

 

+1 on the info from "Tharkun" he has been helping us follow our Mini's for some time.. You can search your port and see what ships are leaving Southampton and when... then like stated, start checking about 36/48 hours before the ship is due to leave... all of a sudden the info will appear with a booking number of All other Mini's that will be on that ship.. Most Mini's don't sit in port more than a week or so, some unlucky folks here hav missed a few ships???????????/ why is anyones guess

Welcome. Looks like a great MINI being built for you!

 

Mine is booked for the Courage leaving Southampton 10-19 to Charleston 11-4, I started a new thread for this ship. Anyone else on board with me?

 

My MCS popped up on the WW logistics site this morning...

It is scheduled to sail on the Isolde, departing Southampton on October 22nd, arriving Port Hueneme on November 12th

 

hey muffin :D how do you know what ship the mini is on? i wanna know how to check if my car is ready too..

when i had my r53, i told myself that i wouldnt check what ship it was on... but now its different cuz i cant stand waiting. i wanna know where its heading too!! lololol

::sigh::

stupid wait time.

 

Your Mini will be arriving at Port Hueneme, so your Mini will be boarding a WW ship. Use the link below and enter your VIN #. Once your ship is within 24-48 hours of arriving at the
Southampton port, you should see a booking number, voyage number, and other info.

Yup I'm confirmed for this ship!! I hope the 20 days will go by super fast
