My VIN is like rr191's. Aneurotic, maybe you could update your usser profile so we can see where yours is shipping to. I am also wondering if there are different ship lines going to the east coast.

Annette says she thinks there is a K-Line (?) shipping line too.

 

Lindsey --

I hope you're right as I am having the same experience as you. Maybe its on the Oberon. That seems to be the only ship that hasn't posted any manifest.

Annette says El Kabong came over on the Oberon, back in the day.....

 

Yep my 9th digit is a different number also.

 

The odd thing is that my MA, ask-mini and the OL all say still awaiting a ship? That can't be right. Kind of frustrating.

 

My MA told me he sometimes gets information 4-5 days after things have happened, when I asked him about my shipping status. As far as I know mine is sitting in port, but I have not talked to my MA since Monday.

 

If I don't hear anything by this Saturday I'm going to go to the dealer and inquire in person. By this weekend production will have been complete for 3 weeks and if it's not on a boat by now then I'm not sure what's going on. Hopefully it's just on a boat and things are slow to update.

 

I am wondering if they changed how they are doing updates. The last time I talked to Ask MINI the lady I talked to indicated that they were not going to track past waiting at port. In the User's Lounge, however, that step is less than half way through the steps they list. She basically said if I needed any further information I would have to talk to my salesman. Maybe all our neurotic phone calls finally got to them.

 

That's the same answer I got when I called.

 

Ditto here as of yesterday.

 

My VIN just showed up on the WW Elektra having been loaded on 2/9.

 

Congrats! I think mine missed the boat, it's not showing up on the Elektra

 

Looks like the Elektra is taking the Minis on a Baltics cruise. Man, it takes the long way to get to the states.

 

This has been the case for at least as long as I have used the systems. Reps are only good until the car reaches the port. At that point, you need to rely on your MA as OL is never current.

 

According to mini, "En-route" can mean anything from waiting on port to get on to a ship or already on a ship or riding a carousel or sipping Mai-Tais

So it should not be confused with "Awaiting Transport" which mean strictly parked some place which may or may not be on the port of exit and involves neither carousels nor drinking beverages.

Would be nice if the status "En-route" would be eponymous and mentions a ship date if the name of the ship is too much to ask.

hrrrmmmphhh

 

For me the Awaiting Transport status is the hardest. MY BABY, all built and ready to heat up some break in oil, sitting all alone in a cold wet port, with no one to give the poor young thing a little exercise. If it were just moving in this direction....

 

I just called ask mini and Robo voice said mine is now "in Transit", whatever that means. Production was completed 2/1 so hopefully that means it's on a ship (crossing fingers).

 

Try and track it on the WW website. Mine was completed the same day as yours and showed up today on the ship. You can always call your MA for the information as well.

 

I just tried that and "No Records Found"

I'll try again in the next few days, or maybe on it's on a K-Line or ARC ship.

 

That's entirely possible. Mine does not show up on the WW tracking and according to ask-mini and everyone else it still shows as at the port. I'm guessing mine is on one of the other carriers but until my MA confirms I am just guessing as there is no way to track it.

 

Mine has been "enroute" since 2/7 and it missed Elektra. If it misses the next boat as well then I would like to believe that my car is on a ship with a different carrier. Having said that it seems that WW is a huge company and almost any cargo being delivering from Europe to North America goes through a subsidiary of WW. ARC is owned by WW and even cars on Maersk (a competitor) appear on WW tracking site. K-Line it seems only delivers to the West Coast.
I am very ambivalent about my baby not showing up on WW.

 

@arrested_cloud
Which coast are you on?
There is a boat called Bosporus Highway that was loaded on the 5th (i think) that is on it's way. It's making a couple stops on the east cost, my MA informed me it was on that boat.

@okiedokie
Your CM is probably on the Bosporus Highway, jackie coop mentioned several were on it.

 

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up, I hope it made it on the boat!

Edit: MA confirmed and it made it on!

 

I am in DC... so if my baby is on it awesome

but it set sail on 2/5 and my ol status did not change till 2/7... on 2/5 my Ma said it was awaiting transport !!! so for now I am twiddling my thumbs

 

Checked this morning, looks like I made the Fidelio. now the 12 day wait until it hits the NYC VDC.
