Waiting on Transport

Anyone know how long is normal for the MINI's made in Germany to be on the dock? My new Starlight Blue/White Paceman has been waiting for 12 days to get a ride across the ocean. My MA said this is longer than usual. This is my 3rd MINI but the other two were from Oxford so they did not sit this long.

Found out today it is on the way! 13 days on the dock waiting for a ship. Still might be here in time for New Years.

Yea mine waited about 2 weeks on the dock too, but some go through earlier. I think it's just luck of the draw on when a boat comes in that has room for ya. Good luck - the wait gets even more intense when it starts getting closer to home!

I wondered if the German port might be more backed up than Southampton. Neither of our other two waited more than 4 days for a ship.

The wait is the hardest. I remember going through it with our R60. Our Starlight Blue S ALL4 Paceman was off the dealers lot. The Paceman is the best vehicle I have ever driven.

My car sat at the port for three weeks waiting for a ship that was bound for Hueneme.
