I just learned my car is awaiting a boat in the UK. Anyone know how much it would cost to FedEx it? I can't wait!!!!

 

Soooooo jealous!

Here is a rough estimate from the FedEx website: Shipping 2000 lbs of auto parts from Oxford to Boston would be $6666.66 There is a 2200 lb limit, but I put in the dimensions and apparently it would on the pallette! Soooo, if you take out the engine it would be possible!

 

Hope the wait isn't long. It's like waiting for school to let out for summer.

PS: Be glad White Star Line is out of business. *G*

 

Too true, 4xAAA. I feel like a kid at the beginning of December. I can't decide if it will be better to track it, or just ignore it until it gets here. But, I don't know how to track it.....

 

What boat are you on? To which port?

 

I am waiting for a boat assignment. Besides, I don't know how to find out what boat. It will be coming to NY.

 

$1,400 from Port Hueneme to Southampton via a West Coast company that specializes in transfers from people who already have their car and are moving or for some other reason have to ship a car.

I went onto their website last night just to see how much that would cost if you had to arrange shipping yourself. Maybe it would be cheaper coming from there to here, but I doubt it.

 

Ahoy Landlubbers,
That be a SHIP you are talking about....
A boat is something you ride on weekends....LOL

Congratulations on your new ride...

 

TY okra. and I know that, but I am trying to pretend my MINI is not just a box among thousands.

 

My dealer in Mass was able to tell me the name of the shipping company and ship leaving SouthHampton bound for NY. At the time, May of '06, it was W&W's "Liberty". I was able to track it via a website. I forget, but the dealer gave me the VIN # of the car and I think the webste address of the shipping company. I was able to track it to NY. Salivating by the time it arrived.....

 

Go to the MINI Lounge https://ol.miniusa.com/oe/home.asp?login: true and track your baby. Get the VIN number.

Then go to: http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/ and select "Auto cargo". Put your VIN in the "Cargo ID" box. Click "Track".

You will either get a "No information..." message (which means it is sitting at the dock waiting to be recognized) or information on the ship, departure time, and arrival time.

You should join the 13th week thread as it seems that you are in that group. Or, perhaps you are 14. It is a little confusing.

 

i'm waiting too! i'm booked on the Freedom currently and hope to stay aboard. I was briefly booked on the integrity that went out this weekend but didnt hop the boat !

 

Remember !! there are three boats leaving Southhampton this coming weekend for Eastern US and beyond and from what I have read some of them can carry up to 4000 autos in their frames. !!

 

If you don't get any information on that link, you might be on a different freight line. I'm still not sure what ship mine was on, but it never showed on the WW link. I got the car, though, so it DID come over.

 

Or even 5,000, in the case of the Maersk Wind that my car hopped a ride on. However, only 341 of the cars on board are Minis.

The ship also stopped off in Germany and Belgium before it reached Southampton. Therefore, I assume there are BMWs, Volvos and other models crammed aboard.
