My neighbor has an estimated delivery date of 9/19 which is tomorrow. He called MINIUSA ans they told him his car was still at the VPC. I know when my car was "Waiting for Transport" mode I called and to my surprise the car was already on a ship, across the Atlantic and sitting at the VPC before the web site changed. Anyone know whats the deal with the VPC in South Carolina? Are they backed up and thats why its taking so long? Pleas ehelp him out with some accurate info since he can't seem to get a straight answer from MINIUSA. Thanks to all and what a GREAT site this is!!!!!

I'm hoping their right on time, mine is supposed to be delivered on my birthday! I would be so psyched, that would definitely be the best birthday present ever!

My MINI had an original estimated delivery date of 9/5, but on like the 10th the website changed the delivery date to 9/15 (a Sunday, btw). However, it was delivered to the dealer on the 14th and i took delivery on the 16th

I think mine was over a week after the expected delivery date.. 2 weeks maybe... it didn't help that the trucks were running late due to labor day...

and I ordered my MINI on my 27th b-day... had to wait a while ( :smile: ), but that's OK...

My estimated delivery date was right on. My date was even upped by one day once the boat docked...it was cool!!! I couldn't pick it up for 4 more days, though :smile: I've had him for almost 3 weeks now...1300 miles and counting :smile:

My estimated delivery date was 8/21. They got the right day.... But the wrong month. I'll finally be picking the car up on Saturday, it just arrived in Pittsburgh today.
