Me too - if I remember correctly, thursday the schedule had the Integrity arriving in Southampton on the 14th, today it says arriving and departing today, which means, as of 7pm UK time, it still hasn't arrived. So I'm guessing there's something causing the ship to be late, therefore our cars can't get loaded - they use a poor choice of words (IMHO) when they say returned to shipper though...

My MCS was scheduled to board the MAERSK WAVE, but didn't board. Seems that the ship was full. So, it sat at the dock for a week until the ISOLDE arrived.

Getting a jump on St. Paddy's Day?

The last part of the wait is the toughest. Hang in there! You'll forget this suffering once you start motoring.

You will get more accurate tracking info by phoning 866-ASK-MINI the online tracking. The web page doesn't get updated often enough. IIRC, it said mine was waiting for paint when it was actually halfway across the Atlantic.

Take this advice with a grain of salt but...
Keep digging, I heard if it was booked and not actually loaded on the ship and on the water it could only be short delay or possibly a change in ships.
Check with your sources or call 1-866-ASK-MINI with all your information, ask them what's up...try to be nice.

I'm really sorry but I had nearly no information on my Clubman...then it just showed up about 3 weeks early, seems it caught an earlier production batch and was the last one on the ship...thus first one off.

For those of you on the Integrity, I see it due South of Weymouth, UK steaming ahead to where ever it is going(East/West Coast).

I have a feeling we got bumped off the Integrity and hopefully put onto another ship, possibly a K-line - will have to wait and call the MA to find out for sure... sigh...

ok, take a look at your status again, mine changed.
now it shows a different vessel(BOHEME), voyage # and booking #.
this says we pull into ny,ny on the 25th. plus it shows all 462 cars were received this morning.

Mine's listed as Boheme too, but Boheme doesn't stop at Charleston, where mine should have been delivered... - it's final dest. is Brunswick, GA on the 29th
Under "Track by Booking number" it still shows mine returned to shipper on the 15th - maybe it's slow catching up??
but the tracking map shows it farther along than that nasty Integrity

"Returned To Shipper"

The baby Coopers got too rambunctious so the Captain "turned this thing around"?
