The altair leader and my all4 just arrive in CA this evening! How long can I expect it to take to arrive in COlorado? I now it will spend a few days at the dealer for prep, clear bra and tint.

Getting close!!!

 

Hope not long. Mine will be here soon. Subcibed

 

Mine arrived at port hueneme on 21 Sep (wed) and arrived at MOL on the evening of 27 Sep (Tues). I think theres a minimum of 1 day to prep and I could have picked up on Thurs, but had tint done so picked up on 1 Oct (sat).

Almost there! This part is toughest!

 

Nice to see the Colorado CM contingency increasing.

 

My MCS arrived in Port Hueneme on Thursday October 20th and arrived at MOL on Tuesday November 1st and I picked it up on Thursday the 3rd.

 

Isn't the length dependent in part on having a full load of vehicles heading to the state? This boat only had Countrymen, so we are depending on BMWs to be processed and shipped to CO.

 

I am in the same "boat"..... My MCS hit Port Hueneme Nov1, released to the the transportation company Nov2,,,, Now it is the 9th and she still hasn't made it to MOL- Shelley didn't have an ETA for me. I am "minifesting" that I can pick it up Friday!!!! Give me some help fellow motorers!

 

Talked to Shelley this morning and they are unable to trace! RATS! Her quote is "Once Waggoner's Trucking claims our MINIs they become lost in the system until they arrive". Now doesn't that suck! My front room is filling up with parts, and nothing to put them on.
So to help pass my time, I will have a cocktail every hour on the hour until I get: THE CALL"! Any other takers???

 

Tempting

 

My Countryman arrived at the CA port on Sept. 21. It arrived at MOL on Sept. 27th. Then I picked it up on Sept. 30.

 

Wow, seeing how fast most of you got yours out of the distribution center, I am wondering why mine was there from 10/21 until 10/27, when it only had to come down the freeway from Oxnard to Calabasas. Doesn't really matter now that I have my beauty, just wondering though?

 

I was at MOL yesterday getting some lights installed and in speaking with my MA, he mentioned to me that he's had some cars ordered holding at Port Hueneme for ~30 days. Not sure what the delay is, but I'd be so aggravated if my car was in country and sitting for some reason. He said there are quite a few folks that are frustrated and I don't blame them.

OTOH, there were a bunch of Countrymen on the lot out front waiting to be adopted and during the time I was there, at least 3 different folks in to test drive them. There were a few out back getting ready for pickup and a yellow/black top that got picked up by its owner.

Hope you guys don't end up waiting too much longer. This part stinks! Fingers crossed for you...

 

My MA emailed me to inform me that my MCS is on Bob's transport and should be dropped off tonight or tomorrow! So a little dealer prep Monday and I should be good to P/U Tuesday!

 

Back in March mine hit the VDC at Port Huenume on 3/23 and was delivered at my dealer on 3/27. I happened to be stalking the parking lot on a Sunday and there she was

It's snowing in SLC...ger your Countryman already!

 

Nice! Are you going to MOL or sticking in town?

 

My mccs arrived 10/4 at port and I took delivery 10/11, delay of 2 days because of my schedule not working out

 

Anyone do a Drive By today (Sunday) to see if there might have been a "drop off" of fresh MINI's?

 

The ship docked Tuesday and I got a call from the dealer Saturday Morning. My new CMS is in my driveway!

 

I was at MOL on Saturday and it looked like there were a number of new cars waiting to be delivered. Hope yours was one of them.

 

SCORE! Shelley (MA) informed me that my MCS is in... A nice 60+ mile rush hour drive and I will be one proud PaPa of a MINI... Three days short of 8, pain staking weeks!! Sat at the VDC for an extra week waiting to fill a truck I guess. Here's the funny thing, the Owner's Lounge still reports that my car is there- Wouldn't it be nice if MINI could attach a temporary tracking beacon in the car... Call it "MINI Google". Suggestions on a nice restaurant by MOL for a welcome dinner? The parking lot should be spotless! lol

 

Pictures please. I will keep an eye out for you on the road.

(I am still waiting - now, I wonder if it actually made the truck at all.)

Just found out that mine did not make the truck. Waiting for a truck leaving Oxnard Wed or Thur. May not have my car until after Thanksgiving. Sigh...

 

Mine missed the truck too. Bummer.

 

I learned that MINI is having trouble with Waggoner trucking. They should have the cars loaded and on the way no later than 72 hours after leaving the VDC.... That being said, I should have had mine back the the 5th or 6th... Not the 14th!
Well, it is worth the wait!

 

Hey SK8erMom,,, Any updates on your MINI? Who was your MA?

 

Were did everyone order there Mini from? I got mine from Schomp
