Any news yet?
Never mind! just saw your new thread.

 

The Queen Sapphire is about ready to go thru the Panama Canal.

About 8 days to Oxnard . . .

 

Looks like transit later tonight, I suspect the QS will be a day late or so into Oxnard.

 

If my tracking is correct... the Fidelio(call Sign SLKR for those ship tracking) will be in Bremerhaven in about 3 hours to start loading. It should be the next batch coming to the east coast. I am hoping mine, which is "Awaiting Transport" and has been for 10 days, will be on board.

Fingers crossed.

 

No . . . say it ain't so . . . I'm getting more and more impatient.

 

I hope that mine is loaded on Fidelio as well but I'm not even sure my car has arrived at the port yet. Looks more like I'll make it on the Manon but still have a sliver of hope for Fidelio. I hope that your Countryman makes it aboard!

 

All you guys on the truck do know that truck routes in Germany are pretty well snow bound this week!!!

Hope your Countryman's make port and get loaded soon.

Our current status is stuck in Panama.

Update: Looks like the QS is at anchor on the wrong end, so transit will be the 3rd if they start early, early.

 

It's rails to Bremerhaven as I understand it. Hopefully the weather is not causing delays.

 

Last view of the Queen had her coming up the coast of Chile. The posted info regarding next port indicates that she is due in at Port Hueneme at 9am on the 10th.
Keeping my fingers crossed!

 

Very glad to read about progress for other forum members...

 

The Manon is on it's way as of 13:56GMT 12/9. Let's keep our fingers crossed that our cars made it on this ship. I checked the port webcam and saw it was gone so I went to the live track to see where it was.

 

FALSTAFF is in Southamton and loading. My MiNI was loaded about a half hour ago about 3PM local time in England. Now they finishing loading and get on the big water headed for the canal in 11 days. Then 10 more to CA on the 29th. Its getting closer as JACK now is ready for his cruise.

 

I just talked to my dealer and was told that mine IS on the water and is not in Germany despite all the info elsewhere. It looks like I will be having a MINI-Holiday after all. Mine is on the Patriot which left Baltimore and is en route to Charleston, SC and then on to Brunswick, GA on Dec 13th!

 

The Queen Sapphire is off the coast of Ensenada Mexico.
Getting closer!

Midnight - any news from your MA?

 

What are you tracking the ship with this time?

Good to hear, I have not looked for a few days.

Did you ever get WW to give you load details. :(

Keep up the good reporting.

 

She updated her position this morning.

Still nothing on the WW tracking site.

 

Mine is loaded in Southampton and should be getting ready to make way shortly for the big ditch.

 

ASK MINI says my car is in transit.

Does that mean in transit to the distro center or in transit to the dealer?

 

When was your car built? Is this the first time you called ASK MINI?

 

I bought a pre-ordered car from MINI of Loveland( someone ordered it then backed out), so I do not know when it was built. The first time I tracked it on the OL is says enroute and so did ask mini. OL still shows en route today.


I tried tracking it on the WW site but never showed up there.

Today I called ASk MINI and it said in transport. MY MA told me when I first inquired about the car that he expected it to be at the dealer around 15-17 DEC.

I am trying to get an idea of when it will be at the dealer since I will be out of town from 17DEC-19DEC.

 

If it doesn't say in transport to port of exit then that means it is on the ship.

 

Okay then what is the difference between en route and in transit then?

 

Excellent news! Most recent WW schedule shows the Patriot landing in Brunswick on the 12th. Good for you!

 

Got an email from the sales manager a short time ago that said my car is still 182 but one his ordered demos jumped all the sudden from 182 to in transit without ever showing a 193 status.

I'm genuinely concerned. It is now +10 days since production complete and status is still 182. How could it not have left Graz yet? I am officially baffled.

 

Ask your MA for the status code of your order then refer to my post #55 in this thread which explains the codes.

En route is usually from factory to port. In transit is usually from port of exit to domestic arrival port. From there it is transported to VDC and from there to your dealer. The status code will provide the specific info you are looking for.
