Go here, click Cargo Tracking and then Auto Cargo link. Then just input your VIN #.

Yes, I have done that every day so far but it still does not show. Guess I will have to call my SA again on Monday when he gets back from vacation.

MAERSK WIND as of this morning!

sadu77 · 04-27-2008, 04:43 PM

itll be there quicker than you think. awesome

MadMan77 · 04-29-2008, 06:59 PM

Well I have finally confirmed that I am on the Fidelio bound for Brunswick, GA on May 13th with about two hundred billion stops before it gets there.

I can track my VIN number now but sailwx.info shows the Fidelio but when you click the link it turns into the Patriot. I also tried vesseltracker.com and it shows two Fidelio's. One is a French container ship that is in somewhere in the English channel and the other looks like a vehicle hauler but it is up by Dover, U.K. The latter looks like the right ship but it is going the wrong direction since it's next port is Halifax, NS.

:iono:

Here is a pic of the latter:

Thanks. Now if I could just track it properly I would be a little bit less on edge.

MadMan77 · 04-30-2008, 11:41 AM

Well, the drama continues. I was just told that I am officially leaving for Japan for the next 2-6 months on May 13th. I give you guys one guess when the Fidelio makes port here in Georgia. Yes, that is right, May 13th. I cannot, and will not take delivery of a vehicle if I am not there to inspect it.

So, if anyone wants a manual transmission jet black coupe with black leather, gray poplar trim, comfort access, premium package, sports package, heated seats and iPod/USB just have your SA call the dealer in Macon, GA and they can probably have it transferred.

It's a shame after all that waiting and uncertanty of location, but I will order another one when I get back.

Dan203 · 04-30-2008, 12:53 PM

That sucks! You should order another one like 2 months before you get back so it's waiting for you when you get back from Japan.

Dan

Bizall · 04-30-2008, 12:54 PM

Sorry to hear that. Good luck with your TDY or whatever...have fun and make that money.

That is the plan. I should get a good chunk of change from this TDY so I might change a few things on the order.

Yeah it is a TDY. I C-130 is so corroded that we have to replace two 15' beams that tie the front of the fuselage to the center wing. Sooooo much work but hey that is my job.... do that which the regular guys cannot do or are not allowed to do.

------------

The only real thing that irks me here is if the car would not have sat at the port for almost three weeks it would have been here and I wouldn't be in this predicament.

I give

to BMW's shipping department.

Dan203 · 04-30-2008, 04:49 PM

I'm right there with you. My car has been sitting at the port for almost 2 weeks and my next chance to get off the dock isn't until Friday, which is 16 days after it was finished being built.

Dan

lacrosse · 04-30-2008, 05:35 PM

The rather cavelier Customer Service rep I spoke to today said it could take anywhere from 3 to 13 days to get loaded. He basically said, "Deal with it". Ahhhhh, not so friendly
