Does anyone get that before?
I hope it's just a glitch in their system..

Mine said the same thing.

I called today and it said the same thing, but i know my boat just docked yesterday....

morscode · 06-21-2008, 12:19 PM

Maybe it's awaiting transport TO VPC from the dock. Cars are definitely on US soil by now.

drand · 06-21-2008, 10:00 PM

It looks like some of the non-ED cars on the Maersk Welkin are showing up as at the VPC, but ED cars are not as they are going to spend a few days in customs first.

tcallquest · 06-22-2008, 12:58 AM

i took delivery on Friday. Car is amazing. I can't believe it's here. And get this, the dealership offered more on my trade than Carmax.

JHRedondo · 06-22-2008, 01:47 AM

My 128 is non-ED and is not showing up yet. So, it's off the boat but not scanned until Mon ?

akak1997 · 06-23-2008, 08:20 PM

no updates still...
gonna give my CA a call tomorrow

allINeedIs1 · 06-24-2008, 01:05 PM

my 135i, i guess, has been waitting for a truck the past 11 days

. can any1 tell me what the avg. time is between gettin off the boat and getting onto a truck?

rocketpop · 06-24-2008, 03:15 PM

Sorry mine was a few days from the boat to the truck.

akak1997 · 06-24-2008, 03:33 PM

Just got the call from my CA, the car should be released from port tonight, so it'll be there at the dealership tomorrow and it'll take the dealership around a day or 1/2 a day to clean it up and stuff. I should be able to pick it up Thursday. Sigh.... this week is crazy at work, so I don't think I could pick it up until the weekend... Well, I've waited for 6-7weeks.... 2days probably won't kill me. But I'll reserve the rights to change my mine and go pick it up sooner LOL! ALMOST THERE!

rocketpop · 06-24-2008, 03:35 PM

After waiting for the Penfed check to arrive, then waiting for them to install the spoiler, I am picking mine up TONIGHT!!!

that means its waiting for a truck, they dont have a saying for that, they just use the same one, awaiting for a vessel.
vessel meaning Truck.

it's gonna be 106 degrees in vegas this weekend... don't forget sunblock! If you've your top down, remember to put sunblock on your body too. or you'll get the seatbelt tan lines

morscode · 06-25-2008, 08:03 PM

Same here, picking up the car tomorrow. Wow, I've waited FAR too long for this moment. Been waiting since the rumors of the 135.

And JH, I guess there's plenty of time to see you around, enjoy Vegas and keep those RPMs changing.

rocketpop · 06-25-2008, 09:11 PM
