MINI booked on boat but not shipped

My MINI advisor is on vacation until 8/21, so I thought I’d post to see if anyone has every heard of a car getting booked on a boat, but not actually getting shipped.

I was told my MINI was going to be shipped by Wallenius Wilhelmsen so I went to their website and did a little research. The first boat going to Port Hueneme after my car was complete was the Fidelio leaving Southhampton on 8/2.

Sure enough on 8/3 I plugged in the VIN and she had a booking number, vessel name, and eta. Woo-hoo! Yesterday I went and plugged in the VIN and current status now says returned to shipper. Any ideas?

My first thought was that maybe the car was damaged when being loaded so pulled from the boat?

I emailed my advisor, he says it is still in port waiting for a boat, nothing to worry about, and he is going on vacation until 8/21. Grrrr.

Any ideas why that would have happened?

The next WW boat heading to California leaves 8/13. Will be interesting to see if my MINI makes it on board.

Ordered MINI 6/28, into production 7/19, production complete 7/29(estimate), still waiting for a ship 8/10. Sigh.

2014 Kite blue MINI Clubman, black roof, MINI Yours Package with Satellite Gray Interior name TBD but leaning towards Folly
