Looks like next in line is Honor, but their schedule now says Southampton on 7/23 - Brunswick on 8/8. Frustrating. It seems like ships are few and far between lately.
Columbia Highway is now moving in the right direction again. Must had to go back to pick up something. Schedule to dock at Baltimore end of day July 29, so it is still on schedule.

I was looking at Baltimore port info and saw Toronto there. Congrats! Grand Duke is due in Baltimore late tonight (or tomorrow, depending on what site you look at), but it hasn't shown up on their expected arrivals yet. Maybe it's running late.

Looks like the Integrity has docked in Baltimore. Hopefully my car will get through quickly and I'll get to see it soon.

i called the Ask Mini number to find out how long before my car will leave the port for the dealership. They said a couple days to a week! I didn't think it'd take that long. I thought I remember seeing in the Order Status thread that some cars left the port the day after they arrived?

I am hoping mine will be at my dealer, ready to be picked up before I leave for vacation on the August 15th.

The Grand Duke is on its way to Brunswick, should dock tomorrow! That means I will probably have my car in Birmingham next week sometime! I'm so excited!

The Grand Duke has docked and since left Brunswick Georgia! So I guess all of us waiting for our first of the week 27 on the east coast should be seeing our cars delivered at the dealerships next week. I should be the first in Birmingham to receive a 2015!

wtwien, have you talked to a real person at ASK MINI? If your car was loaded on a k-line boat, sometimes it will not show up as loaded, but will actually be on a boat!

Yes I have talked with a Human from Mini USA and there are few of us that are waiting to be loaded. There are 2 Ships leaving this weekend. Hopefully I will be on one of them

I talked to a person today on the Ask Mini number and they said that it was at the final processing facility or something. Doesn't sound like I'll have it this week.

I just had a quick question and I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else. My vin was able to be pulled up on WW Track & Trace; however, my status went from booked to received at terminal, and now as of today showing returned to shipper. Can anyone explain what this means?

Thanks so much! :-)

It means that ship was overbooked and you should be loaded on the next ship

Thanks so much! Any idea of where you can find out when the next ships will arrive that will be picking up vehicles for the west coast?

It looks like my mini is "En Route." Called Mini this morning and got the good news. The only thing I am questioning is my VIN doesn't show up on the track & trace. Could this be an error or has it not been updated yet? I would love to know what ship I am on. Considering the Honor left yesterday, I am assuming my Mini is on board. Of course OL isn't updated yet but that is normal as I know it takes a day or more to update.

My VIN never showed up because I was on a K-line ship. Talked to a human at MINI and they told me what ship I was on. I was already halfway to the east coast before I found that out.

How did you track the ship and know you were already halfway to the east coast? That would be awesome in my case. I am looking at the k-line schedule, and I see that the only ship that has departed closest today is the Columbia Highway (july 19th). Could it really have taken 8 days for Mini to update?


Update: I just called Mini and spoke with a person, and it is confirmed I am on the Columbia Highway which is due in port on the 31st.
