Mine SHOULD be on the Faust. It was in Bremerhaven in plenty of time to get on...Unfortunately, my MA seems to think the CM's are being produced in England! He says it's waiting at the port there for a ship

Wrong...your MA is...! All Countryman's are built in Austria and shipped to Germany and leave from Bremerhaven. We are probably ship mates...the Faust is out of range as of yesterday but should be ablr to start tracking later crossing the seas to Halifax.

Twings...Unless you get confirmation of cargo tracking, I wouldn't assume your car is on a particular boat. I don't know that anyone knows how long or why a car sits on the dock and what ship it ultimately ends up on.

Repeat after me: "What is the status code of my order?"

This removes all doubt. If your MA claims they don't know, ask for the sales manager. No need to speculate when the answer is there to be had.

Well, my MA "confirmed" that it's at the port awaiting a ship....but then he said England, and he should know it's Bremerhaven, not England. I think if it was on the Faust, it would show up on the WW site by now. My '07 didn't just sit this long! Midnight, I know you've been there, and now I really feel your pain!

No, I won't tell you how many times I put in a partial VIN & searched for mine!!! However, I am finally at sea!!!! I'm on the K-Line Florida Highway, due in to Georgia on 2/8...or 2/9, depending on whether I trust the MA's info or actual ship's schedule!!! But at least I FINALLY have activity and an end to the wait in sight!!!!
