Still no estimated delivery date when I check review order, I am also unsure as to which VDC services the Chicagoland area. But thanks again for the assistance, you really know your stuff!

 

Your guess of Franconia may be correct in that I found out mine is on it and the OL finally updated for me, too, within the last 24 hours. The K-line schedule sheet doesn't exactly jive with some of the port web sites, but it shows Baltimore as a port of call. Perhaps that's your VDC. Mine will go to Charleston. K-line schedule shows Charleston as a port call before Baltimore. Sounds weird based upon my sense of geography, but who knows.

 

Thanks, and you're welcome. The good news is, the OL seems to be updating to En Route about 4 days or so after the ship has left Southampton. That means, you should have less than a week before it makes it to your VDC, wherever it may be. I'd say, pester you MA. He/she should be able to find out the ship that it is on by looking in their online system. Good luck, I wish I could be of more help. I know it is a royal pain not knowing....

Call your MA, email your MA, call him/her again. If they don't find the information for you immediately, they'll find it for you just to make you stop pestering them. LynnCVT was eventually able to get the information from her dealer and she was in a similar situation as you. I'd estimate, you probably have maybe 2 or 3 weeks tops until you take delivery.

 

Ok from my MA I was not able to get the name of the ship, but I do know that It is due into port in Charleston on 7/17 and that it left southampton on 7/6....I was also given an estimate of about 15 days til I can take delivery

 

Allright, after reviewing previous posts and shipping schedules I can say with certainty that my MINI is on the Franconia, but from previous posts I gather that there is no tracking information available

 

Not that I can find. Franconia isn't making any weather reports on the way across, so all we can do is check the port arrivals. I note that it hits Jacksville first, then Charleston, and then Baltimore, according to K-line. Haven't been to the JAX port site yet to confirm the schedule, but will do it soon.

 

I came to same conclusion, your Mini should be about the Franconia on K Line. There is a Franconia listed on www.sailwx.info but I don't think it is the correct one as it is over by Thailand.

 

Sorry for the delayed posting, but my MINI was delivered to the VDC yesterday !!!

 

I think the Liberty arrived a day ahead of schedule. The Wallenius Wilhelmsen website shows my mini discharged at NY on 7/8 at 19:00.

Hope it doesn't have to stay there too long. In any case, pickup isn't too far off!

 

Woohoo, congrats to you both! The first vehicles in our group to make it onto US soil. Us West Coasters still have another two weeks. I think the remainder from our week will filter in over the next couple of weeks. I think LynnCVT should make it to the US this weekend along with a few others, then the next batch I think should be around the 17th. Followed up by us that have truely developed sea legs on the 23rd.

 

Awesome, this means mine is on these shores too!!

 

Congratulations to those of you with MINI's on terra firma!

I'll admit that I'm green with envy knowing that I probably won't get mine until around a month from today, but I'm thrilled for you. Just remember us when you're out there motoring in your new babies, ok?

 

You lucky people whose MINIs have arrived in the states, congrats its almost time to motor. I can't imagine how much more difficult it is knowing they are within the US now!!

 

Weeeeeeeeeee!!!! Congrats. My mini should be making shore on Thursday. I used to live in Seattle and this is the first time since I moved that I am not jealous of those of you who live on the west coast.

 

Hey hey! Sorry I've been lost! Couldnt find our production week >.<

Can't wait!!! Never ordering a car again this is horrible! (T.T)

Welcome to NAM and to the group Niziex!

 

Well, I've been trying to see if I can find an arrival schedule for Port Hueneme and in the process of that, I found this great old topic here on NAM. Post #5 in this thread https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=51821 has the most comprehensive list of tracking information that I've found yet. Including the links to the AISfree maps of the Panama Canal approaches. I wish I would have found that thread a long time ago

 

Weird. I was just reading this exact thread this morning.

 

In all fairness the next time you order a new MINI, you will still have the old one to keep you occupied while you wait.........

Besides although frustrating at times (when no info is available) tracking the location of your MINI can actually prove to be quite amusing

 

A little humor while we wait. Just change the word "package" to "Mini."

Yippee!!

I spoke with my MA this afternoon and my mini arrived at the dealership (Mini of Towson) today - I'm scheduled to pick it up this Saturday at 10am!!

 

Congratulations Jeeper

 

Luck dog Jeeper. the west coast has some time to wait= I figure at least a couple of weeks?

 

If all goes according to schedule, those of us on the Isolde should have our MINI's on dry land around the 23rd. Receipt will then depend on getting through the VDC, transport, and the dealer prep.

I'm still praying I get mine the first week in August as I was originally told by my MA. Waiting is soooooo hard. :impatient

 

unixal-are you southern cal or northern? I hope my truck drives fast and safe up north (sacramento).
