According to BMW/Mini my car has been sitting at the dock in South Hampton since the 15th of July. Does this sound about right or has it been missing out on the wonderful cruise package and food to the USofA.

Otis Redding did not sit this long.

I must say the last few weeks have been crazy with shipping
my car was booked on three shipps and missed all three finally on the fourth try i made a ship , Don't give up hope, It will happen soon .

Have you tried the WW web site for the shipping company you say bmw/mini said it was still there ,it seems they are a bit behind in tracking .

As I recall, my wifes Cooper sat there for close to 2 weeks.

I wonder if that explains why it had 1500 miles on it when I took delivery?????????? Just kidding,,, (only 6 miles on it).

Just keep checking, one day it will stow away on a ship & head your way.

Mine sat for about two weeks while I had to listen to some of the people with build dates after mine head across the pond while I waited. And yet she is in Baltimore today and will be in Charleston on Friday. Hopefully in my driveway soon after that. Try and be patient.

Mine sat in Southampton for 2 days shy of one month! 3-1/2 weeks of sheer torture for me

Mine was in Southampton from 6/12 till 7/13. It's been sitting at the New Jersey VPC from 7/22 with no end in sight yet..

Hey Beestinger1314, Southampton is one word

That may be the problem.
Could my Mini be at the other South Hampton!
Bloody well could now.

Are you sure? The folks at MINI USA are seemingly the last to know. They are still showing my car as "Waiting for Transport", according to the shippers web site it has been out to sea for several days now. I am glad they aren't babysitting my kids. They even had the nerve to tell me in an e-mail that they had the most up to date information. I sure as hell hope they are wrong.
