Wait - spoke to soon, It say's returned to shipper. Does that mean it didn't go? I'm guessing that's the case.

I do believe, unfortunately, that this is the case.

Afraid so. Based on the data on the site it looks like all the cars that were 'returned to shipper' were booked today, too late to make the trip. Those that were booked yesterday seem to have made it on.

The good news is that the next ship to New York, the Tombarra, is on Sunday, so it's not a huge delay. Kind of a bummer to be that close and not make it, though.

They could have tried to squeeze it on...but it might fall off somewhere over the Atlantic

I'm hoping that my roadster will make it onto the TAMESIS, which is due in Southampton on May 11th. That ship is scheduled to arrive in Baltimore, MD on May 19th.

I'm freaking out over here. Booked under # gbsou1109164 and I'm not loaded. Bunches are. The ship leaves in a few hours and new cars have shown up. Cars that showed up after mine have already been loaded :(

Nice! The exterior is almost the same as the one I'm waiting for, except for the wheel and stripe styles.

Wow, good looking Mini w/nice stripes! Congrats!

I think I am gonna lose my mind...pretty soon...

I just don't understand why mine is still not on the ship...
(well, unless my MA is still kept in the dark...)
Mine arrived @ port of exit on the 29th...still no news...no
records found on WW site...
It is very hard to hear people say theirs made it on the ship
when mine was there few days before theirs.............sigh.....

I really really hope mine is already sailing across the ocean...
instead of sitting at the port...waiting for the next ship to
Baltimore...but who knows...

Hi everyone! I'm new here on NAM and I'm currently waiting on my MCS 2013. I was wondering if anyone got the Recaro seats and how long it took from ordering to production to shipping to arrival. I'm getting antsy waiting for my Mini hahah.

So I lost track, who's on the Mignon with me? Looks like it's making good progress - I'm lucky in that I'm just finishing up a massive project at work and also trying to get ready for my holiday back home to England so my mind is pretty occupied. I know however that once I'm in England, all I'm going to be thinking about is my Coupe waiting for me at the dealer!

Welcome! Production is usually 2-3 weeks from order date depending on whether your dealer has a slot open. What was your order date? If you have a production number or VIN you can see the status in the MINI owners lounge or by calling 1-866-ASK-MINI (don't call 1-800, that's something completely different as I found out recently). Let's see the rest of your specs...if you have Recaro's we know it's a JCW but what else?

Looks like I guessed correctly. I am booked on the TAMESIS that is due in Baltimore on May 19th. Not too much longer of a wait.

I'm on Tamesis as well! It shows my car was booked and received at the terminal on the 3rd but it did not show up in WW's Track and Trace until today. The ship arrives tomorrow at 5:30 am and leaves at 10 pm so I guess I will have to wait until I see the status change to loaded to know for sure that it made the ship.
