Hello everybody!!

at first i thought i was in week 9 but found out that i didn't belong (which is not a bad thing). called ASK-MINI and the automated machine said my ETA is 03/11/06

can't waittttt!!

My specs are:
+ MCSa
+ Space Blue w/checkmate package
+ Cold Weather Package
+ Convenience Package
+ Premium Package
+ Center Arm Rest
+ Cockpit Chrono Pack

No JCW for me.. too bad i don't know how to drive a manual. I tried learning and it was all good but then i get nauseous in the end. hehe

I'm here

My (wife's) Mini S was built week 10 (March 8) and according to AskMini it's sitting at the port awaiting shipment. Only thing is, when I try and access http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...trackType=Auto to see when it's coming across and which ship, the website isn't coming up? Anyone else having this problem?
The specs on JoJo as my wife is calling it are this:
Cooper S, Auto, Purple Haze w/ silver roof and bonnet stripes (smiley face), sport package, cold weather package, Seven dash, black leather, armrest, roof rack, tinted windows (from dealer), and ordering the BlitzSafe XM box next week (Sirius sux).
Apparently, this is the last month of production for Purple Haze according to our dealer (Mini Center) so JoJo will be extra special
Anyways...hoping I can track it soon!

I'm sitting on the dock also. Today is the first time I ever had any problem with the shipping web site, I'm going to assume they're having server problems.
Bad part is I know I'l be checking every 10 minutes to see if they're back up with info.

I'm doing my best not to think about it... the more you do, the harder it is to wait for it...

Great News for my little BRG MCS baby.
The shipping site is back up, and sometime in the last four hours she got a berth booked on the Integrity. The ship leaves Southhampton tomorrow, arrives in NYC on the 20th, Baltimore on the 23rd, and then Charleston on the 26th. Since my dealer is in Atlanta I guess I'll have a long voyage to track...
If you don't know how to check on your go here and put in your VIN.

Yee haw

Oops

and subtract one day from each of the dates I listed for the 3 US ports. In my excitement I listed the departure dates, arrivals are a day earlier.
Even better...

Cool. Berthmates with the first person I "talked" to here...

If you're on that ship are you having yours shipped to you in California or coming east to pick it up?

No they will ship it to me, so I won't get mine as fast as you do. But at least I have one to drive until the new one gets here.

Bah!

Well,
AskMini still says our Cooper is still sitting at the port awaiting a vessel and when I put the VIN in the Williamsen web site, it still says there is no info for that cargo tracking number?
I'm praying to God we're lucky and it's hanging out with you guys on the Integrity and the sites are just slow to load the info...anyone else built on the 8th sitting at Southampton besides me?

We finished on the 9th and made it onto the Integrity. The AskMini site seems to stay a couple of days behind. You might call you MA and ask if they have any info. Also, make sure you have your VIN right, esp with no spaces in it; my MA semt me my VIN and there was a space in the middle, took me two days to figure out why I couldn't find my ship...

Good Luck

Mistracked

Now I'm bummed.

After following the Integrity for the last three days, Wilhelmsen just updated my shipping. I must have missd the Integrity even though they said we were on it.
Now it's showing a berth on the Terrier, leaving on the 19th!
The better news is that it's a direct ship to Charleston and I'll only be delayed three days.

My wife can't stop laughing...

Noticed on a post elsewhere where someone put a screen shot of the voyage page, there's had a "loaded" line, mine didn't but the voyage was listed on the Integrity with the current voyage #. I had looked at it earlier today and it was the same, checked it while ago and it had changed!

At least it only delays me three days since it's a direct trip to Charleston.

Glad you actually made it on board.

cwilliamsjr, Sorry to hear you missed the ship . How were you tracking the Integrity, where you checking the Ocean Weather Site or just figuring when it would hit your shores? I have been trying to find it's call sign to see if I can track but no dice. If you know something please tell me.

BTW. If you want to verify your VIN you should be able to get it from the MINI owners lounge. Just log in and instead of using track my baby just click on the "Your MINI" link at the top of the page then click on "Service Log" this will present you with your registered VIN. I just check mine again at is still says "Loaded on Vessel" on WW's cargo tracking site.
