Hi,

I ordered a Mini S Clubman on July 18th and it went into production July 20th. It's now on a ship and is expected to arrive in Manzanillo, Panama on August 14th... then on to Port Hueneme, CA with an expected arrival date of August 23rd. I think from there it will be transported by truck to Denver.

For those of you that ordered from Denver, I have two questions for you...

1. How long did it take for your Mini to arrive at the Denver dealership from Port Hueneme? I know it goes thru inspection at the VDC in California.

2. When the Mini is trucked from California to Denver is it in a covered and closed transport?

Thanks in advance for your reply...

 

Here is my timeline:

Ordered on 11/7
Production started on 11/12
Production completed on 11/18
Delivered to the port on 11/19
Departed Southampton on the Madame Butterfly on 11/24
Through the Panama Canal on 12/7
Arrived in Port Hueneme, CA and discharged on 12/16
Arrived in Ralph Schomp in Denver on 12/19
Delivery on 12/22

Total time was 6 weeks and 2 days.

 

From what I understand, from my MA in PDX (took Delivery 4/08), they are transported on a Covered Carrier, I'm wondering if this is still true due to the economy??

I'd ask your MA, see what he/she says.
