It depends - mine sat for 3 or 4 days. However if the ol.miniusa.com page is telling you "awaiting transport" that means that its been there for a bit. Get your VIN from the OL page and check the WW freightline page to see what ship your mini is booked on (see the "how to track your mini" thread for more detail).

Mine set sail today!

Mine took a little longer at 8 days. I have also heard some getting to the dock and getting on in a day and others sitting for almost 12 days. Hopefully you will get right on a ship. GOOD LUCK! Let us know how it goes.

Did a search and found the thread, located my VIN and it says it arrived at the terminal on the 8th of July and loaded on the ship on the 10th. That's all I found so far, I put in the name of the ship but so far no information,
thanks for the info on how to find this stuff.

Contact your Mini dealer and ask for an update.
They DO know the shipping info. The main shippers are W&W(offers intenet tracking) and K-Line(has arrival date).

MiniUSA is delayed by at least four days, based on my Clubman, so you may be onboard already, or may be waiting for your ship.

You'll be driving before you know it.

Where are you headed?

The Patriot is 8 days to NY if you're booked on that ship

It seems the "Isolde" is bound for Port Hueneme, Ca. I can't find it using the "ship tracker". Maybe it hasn't left yet or is to close to land. Just a guess.
