For those of us folks who should have made it out on the Integrity
but were "returned to shipper" , is there any chance a "Lost at Sea"
badge could/should be made for our Signature's ?

(It's not that I'm waiting for my ship to come in... more like I'm waiting
for it to be loaded....)

 

poor thing! Why was it returned to shipper?? That sounds so bad

 

It seems that all the Mini's on my boat got the dreaded "returned to shipper"
notice.

Maybe it's my fault... since I'm a mailman they meant it to be "Returned
to Sender" . The consensus is overbooked. We'll find out Monday, and
most likely look forward to another weeks delay .

 

'only' 425 cars were returned to the shipper... I am assuming these were all bumped to another boat and should be loaded up and on there way by monday if they aren't already...

I would be concerned if it was just your car, but with 425 of them then it just sound as if the process in which the shipper communicates what is going on is rather lacking...

It could be that they had enough MINI's to dedicate an entire boat to just mini delivery. The Integrity is making several stops along the way. My guess, the Integrity is full but with mixed cargo, the last stop for it prior to crossing the atlantic was a stop at southampton to pic up mini's. I bet that they topped off the boat with cars then off they went.

Since Mini kept dropping cars off at the port they just kept piling up, thus in comes new boat grabs all of the mini's and off it goes. This has happened before where a second boat does a there and back only carrying mini's

 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we will be on another boat and into Charleston before we know it!

 

Ltlr-n-u, have you heard whether Emden made it to Chas. today? Last position I could find was 3/14, and it looked a good way off the coast then ...

 

INGOLSTADT

so after looking around I think the next most likely boat is the INGOLSTADT

leaves S'Hampton 3/18 arrive in Charleston 3/29

I'm sitting at home , resting my sore post surgery right knee. (Thank you Lortabs)
when I decide to play the "Where's Petronius" game.

Jumping over to the W and W site , I see new information.
It seems I was finally loaded on a vessel on the 15th.

But... they list me as "withdrawn from the vessel" today, the 18th.

WHERE THE HECK'S MY MINI !!!!!

So far, I've been booked on the Integrity, switched to the Boheme, loaded onto
the Integrity , and withdrawn from the Integrity in that order, if I recall correctly.

Yes , I know it's not unusual for us Mini owners to experience some frustration
during the shipping process... but it seems my Mini can't find the darned boat.

For $650 I say they should slap it in the biggest priority mail box known to man
and send that sucker via the USPS. It may get here broken and in pieces... but
at least we'd send it on it's way.

..............and they wonder why us mail carriers tend to go psychotic sometimes

Really , I want to be Gruntled... it just doesn't seem in the cards this week.

 

It's coming for your MINI soon.....
