My MCS has been at status 155 - Production Completed - since 8/2. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm delighted that my baby boy has been born, but... When will he be Released to Distribution! Or even Released to Carrier? Not to mention Selected for Shipment! :???:

Do you think something is wrong with him? Perhaps they found a defect? This is the hardest part of the wait so far.

Sorry, folks, just need a little encouragement...

The only encouragement I can give is that at least you're "155 for a week". I'm still 30-60 days from ordering my MCS. I'm sure everything will be alright. Look at it this way, if it is a defect, at least they caught it before it shipped (could've made for an even longer delay down the road).

You'll be motoring before you know it.

Go to the WW shipping site, (See the links page).

And try tracking cargo, Auto, and then type the last 7 digits of your VIN.

If I belived MINIUSA it would still be awaiting transport. But the shipping site shows it sailed from blighty yesterday.

Pebble.

PS post an update when you have done this so we can better guess the process!

I have been trying. No go. And yet almost all of the numbers ~ 20 below and 20 above me HAVE BEEN Received at Terminal.

Gee, what did I do to them?

Well, that's a good point, Joel. After all, I'm still on schedule (prod date Aug 9).
Note to self: stay cool...
