Just ordered out first MINI Cooper S hardtop a week ago from NW MINI in Tacoma. 
Anyone with a recent time-frame for how long it took for yours to arrive? MA said 8 weeks...... hoping for sooner....

Same here. Been at the port for almost a week. My guess is we'll be on the "Glorious Leader" scheduled to leave on June 22nd or something.

Put my VIN in with % wild card for last few numbers - pulled up other MINIs, but not mine. So that means mine is not checked in at the Southampton dock yet I guess....... Glorious Leader ship arrives in Southampton on June 22, and Hueneme, CA on July 13th. Sounds like we will have the MINI well before August if it makes that voyage. WooHoo......
WW provides a great website for you to check to see whether your MINI is booked aboard WW (or ARC) ships. You will need to start at the WW Cargo Tracking website: http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/ Next you will need to select “Auto Cargo” from the menu on the right hand side of the page.

From: Your Worst Nightmare :)
In late '08 my 09 took exactly 110 days from mid-July order to Election Day delivery, but then it had to backtrack halfway across America to get to my dealer.
But that's nothing: my 05 MCS took just under nine months from deposit to delivery.

Found this posted on a BMW site - His car was on the Glorious Leader too and he took delivery Friday the 16th:
My ship hit the port 4 days ago, and I got my car today. My Dealer is very close to Oxnard VPC. It's a dream machine....Reality has not kicked in yet...what a gas guzzler. Half tank in one day! It has new voice command for Nav. You could speak the entire address in one shot...Have to figure out the new idrive abit more.
