Shipping?

My mini has been complete of being built since the 18th and got to Southampton on th 19th. It's already missed two ships(integrity,freedom), so im hoping it will catch the undine. Does anyone have info on how long a mini/your mini took to catch a ship?

My MINI spent just over two weeks at the docks. Not sure what coast you're on, and that plays a role obviously.

Its frustating, there are week 19 people getting their cars before me (my car was week 16), but that's just the way it goes sometimes.

Good luck with everything.

Mine hooked a ship within two days of getting to the docks, I think.

Now it's in the limbo between distribution center and dealer. Dang holidays. ;-)

Sorry to hear you didn't make it on the Freedom, GatorMini06. That is frustrating, to say the least.

The final "Bill of Lading" list for the Freedom shows only 71 out of the 428 booked made it on board. They've got alot of catching-up to do. Luckily Winston was one of them.

The mini's must be sharing space with the BMWs loaded on earlier in Germany.

Looks like the Patriot (leaving 06/02) is your next chance....good luck! :impatient

My mini was completed on the day before yours, the 17th. Booked on the 17th, recieved at terminal on the 18th and loaded on the Integrity on the 20th. It is currently docked in NYC. I really don't know why yours would take so long to get a ride. Maybe I am just lucky. I feel your pain!

if your mini was stuck at the docks for that long, i'd be inclined to check the car from top to bottom for fear of damage (repair)... This will inadvertently be held against you if you ever decide to trade in / sell your mini a few years down the line... There might be other clerical or logistical reasons for the delay but consider this as a possibility.

food for thought...
