I was told my MC would be here the 2nd or 3rd week in June. It arrived in the US last Friday, and I expect to take delivery this week -- 3 or 4 weeks early.

When I ordered my MINI I was told that I would take delivery on the 30th of August. Of couse, I have been told that Sandia BMW/MINI likes to overdeliver (in this case, over two months.) The tactic bothers me to some degree, but oh well my Cooper S is waiting for a ship right now. Hoping the Procyon Leader is headed for Port Hueneme and that my vehicle makes it on it.

A couple of things happened overnight.

The group of 490 Minis that were booked on the Takasago shrunk to only the 230 that said loaded on vessel.

Also, our Mini's VIN that had been booked on the Morning Noble vanished and now says "No tracking information available.

Looks like we may have gotten switched over to Kline on the Emden or Frisia.

My guess is the Frisia.

Anyone else have their tracking information disappear?

Mine is still there and now booked on the MORNING NOBLE. My car has been at the dock since 5/4/05 and has been waitlisted from two ships. I'm still not clear how or why it could have missed those ships. Why would it still be there (from 5/04) and almost all the later arriving cars get shipped out?

[abbydog3]

How strange, that yall keep getting moved around. Maybe you are really on a ship and the tracking is just being silly.

I still show to be loaded on the Takasago, that left on the 13th. I bet that all of your cars arrive stateside before mine.

I wish we had some way to verify, so everyone would know their status.

My MC, Ernest T. Nugget, reached Keeler this morning! My MA just called and we're all set for me taking delivery on Wednesday morning! I'm so excited! His specs:

2005 MC White over Liquid Yellow
Sport package: 16" wheels, spoiler, sport seats, front fogs
Cold weather package: heated stuff
Spare 15" rims with Haakapelliita snows
Onboard computer
Rear fog lamp
MF steering wheel with cruise
Standard air and sounds

The MiniUSA tracking is all over the place. Online, it tells me I'm En Route. On the automated voice thing it says I'm in port awaiting transport. (Which port?) The live person says they can't track after Southampton. WW says it was aboard the Maersk Teal and was discharged in NY last Friday. It's amazing I still have any fingernails left!

I placed my order April 10, got a production number the next day, started production April 21 and finished May 2. Nugget reached Southampton May 4 and shipped out the following day. Arrived at the VDC on Friday May 13th and reached the dealer today, Monday the 16th. Not bad for a promised delivery date the second or third week in June!

I may have spoken too soon... my VIN no longer works on the WW site. BobsWifesMini - looks like you on the money with your assumption. I'm hoping for the Emden

[Hobbit]

My car isn't on the WW website anymore either. Saturday went and checked on financing rates (and of course to drive the car again) and my MA said the car would probably be on a boat Monday. Hopefully it made it onto a Kline ship.

Hello everyone. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who religiously checks the status of their mini order =D I ordered my black S late april, and it's since been completed. Unfortunately like many of you I'm still 'waiting for transport.' To make things worse, mine is being shipped to LA and as far as I can tell, it's difficult (if not impossible) to track the status of the delivery through NYK. Any suggestions? Happy waiting

Just hope it gets on the Procyon Leader (appears to be the next Cali-bound NYK ship) which docks tomorrow evening. It should land sometime around June 11th but that won't be known until it shows up on the sdmis page (pretty sure that is one of its stops.)

Other than that we are completly in the dark as to when they will get here

Hi Guys -

Boondox - CONGRATS on the new arrival! Hope you have a blast!

My MINI completed yesterday (5/15), and I expect it will be coming into NYC because my dealer is in Connecticut. I'm hoping it will make it onto the Boheme, leaving Southampton 5/19, but as of yet, it isn't showing up.

Anyone else hoping for The Boheme?

Also, many of you have been able to locate a list of all the Minis on a particular WW ship - I've searched the WW site but can't find the list of Minis scheduled on teh Boheme - can anyone help me with this?

THANKS!!

[jetstar1]

Boondox: Congrats! You will post pictures to give those of us still waiting something to aspire to!

As for Minis on a particular ship, on the WW auto cargo page is a booking number listed. Copy that, click on the booking number tracking link, and paste it into the booking number field. While that won't give you a list of every Mini on the ship, it WILL give you a list of all the Minis in that particular cohort.

Absolutely! I'm taking the Nikon digital and following a scenic route home. If I can tear myself out of the driver's seat long enough I should have some nice pics! Pete

[Genevieve]

Thanks Boondox - I'm sorry to belabor this, but I'm obviously doing something wrong. When I go to the auto cargo page, all I see is:

"Track By Auto

Enter Cargo ID(s) and then click on Track

Cargo ID: Multiple ID's"


There's no booking number. This is the page I go to:
http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do

Am I in the wrong place to find Boheme's booking number?

Thanks!!

Genevieve, when you go to the Cargo ID, you will need to put in your VIN # and hit "Track" then it will bring up the page that has the booking #. Hope this helps a bit.

BTW, love your name...my best friend's name is Genevieve.

[abbydog3]

...yes, pictures on Wednesday will give me something to look forward too. We are counting on you!

Now, for your 3rd task (1 to pick up your car and 2 to take a picture/post to web) can you speed up our boats!

Cheers.

When I followed your link I saw the following hyperlinks on the right side of the page. Click Auto Cargo and enter your VIN. It will return a bunch of info including the voyage number and the booking number. Copy that booking number, then click the Booking Number link and paste it in. That should give you a list of all the VINs belonging to your Mini's traveling companions.

Bill of lading number
Booking number
Customer reference number
Auto cargo
RoRo cargo
Breakbulk cargo

Abbydog3 -- I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the ship crossed the pond. Maersk Teal left Southampton at 11pm, and with an 8 day scheduled transit I figured she'd pull into NY at the end of the day on the arrival date...but she was docked by 5am and Nugget was on the pier by 8am.

So hang in there! Pete
