Shank as long as you are booked on the ship it is a good thing!

I'm hoping to have my car by the 21st.

I am another west coaster waiting for a ride. Vehicle arrived at the port on the 29th. Dealer says still looking at July for delivery.

Hopefully I can get booked on a vessel and find out the name from my CA.

OK, NOW I AM FURIOUS!!!! My car stil. says book bor the Mignon, then when you click the ships tracking number. The port of exit is in red. It then says if it is in red it means the ship as ALREADY SAILED. Meaning my f@cking car is not on the ship!!! WOW I am PISSED!!

Don't get bent out of shape just yet. Red means that you can't book cargo on it anymore. It could mean that it's full, or that it's finished loading.

lacrosse · 05-02-2008, 10:15 AM

Shank, not sure I follow you. If the site says your booked aboard the Mignon and the ship has sailed, aren't you on the ship? Or are you looking for the date the car was loaded? It coud have been an oversite. Keep the faith!

Yeah it only says that it is booked. If you look at the previous page on this post with the screen show they have two more things on theirs after booked.
-Received at terminal
-loaded on vessel
I dont have either of those.
Then on that same screen shot (if you were actually on the site) you can click the voyage number which pulls up another screen with the exact voyage port by port that it will take.
The first line that says when the ship is supposed to leave the port of exit is in red. Then at the top it says NOTE:Red ports mean the vessel has already sailed.

So basically it is saying I am only BOOKED for the vessel. But does not say I have been loaded on the ship like others do. AND the ship has sailed out of the port of exit already. Looked like im F@cked. LOL oh well, you just have to laugh. Only after you throw a hammer through the window!!

lacrosse · 05-02-2008, 12:10 PM

Shank,

What do the 800 and OC say?

Given the sketchy nature of the site, I would check all three sources. Also, have you spoken to your CA?

IDBMW · 05-02-2008, 01:24 PM

Shank,

Don’t get all worked up over something you have absolutely no control of. There is no one at BMW or the shipping company that can change your situation. If you are just venting that is good to get it out of your system and we are listening so I hope that helps.

lacrosse · 05-02-2008, 01:36 PM

Yes but Shank paid cash money in full. That should count for something.

Shank, keeping my fingers crossed that you are on the Mignon and the computer is slow.

shawshank772 · 05-02-2008, 02:41 PM

Na, not really venting to get frustrations out. Just stating what is going on. No big deal. Thanks for all the support, lol, its like a little support Beemers Anon. group.

Oh and as for the CA I wish I could call him. However, they are in Germany as well. I bought the car when I was in Iraq through the military discount program.

lacrosse · 05-02-2008, 02:55 PM

Shank,

First and foremost, thank you for your service and for protecting the US!

Can you speak to a CA at a local dealership? Maybe they can intervene on your behalf?

chriscecc914 · 05-03-2008, 04:20 PM

anyone know how to find out what your VIN # is on the new BMW owners site?

60Driver · 05-03-2008, 07:09 PM

Any Week 17 Left Coasters still waiting on a boat? My poor car has been sitting at the docks since 23 Apr and today is F'ING 4 May!!

Good luck to you!! Waiting at the port is the worst part.

NY SLC 93 · 05-05-2008, 07:46 AM

Thare she blows.....

WOOHOO!!!!

zbladejr · 05-05-2008, 10:06 AM

Going from good to worse.... So last week my dealer told me that I was at port of exit - Bremerhaven. I just called the 1-800 number this morning as I can't get logged into the owner's circle (neither could the person helping me on the phone - gee their system is harder to crack than Nasa I guess).

But she told me that my car is arriving at port of exit just today!!!! WTF!!! That's a week that it was sitting who knows where waiting. She said that demand for the M3's is slowing everything else down - do they get prefferential shipping treatment, I wonder? Anyway, here I thought I was sailing the seas already........

Anyway, hopes of a late May delivery starting to slip.....need moral support....LOL
