AskMINI told me today that my MINI was in the Body Shop and should be finished 30-June. I'm not sure which shipping company it will go on though. But I checked the schedule for WW and if it goes that way it appears that the Independence II arrives in Southampton 5-July and then Charleston, SC 19-July.
double check the what the OL has listed on your orders! i was bored and looked at mine and it was slightly wrong, but figured i'd call askmini just to double check. i was told to talk to the dealer. that was a huge call because the manager submitted the build wrong! my MA said she would fix it. better to find out now then to have to get pushed back in production or even worse when i go to pick it up.
What exactly do you mean by "get information"? Nothing was "sent" to me, nor was the Owner's Lounger tracker updated; it still reads "On Order". I called AskMINI and was told its current status. If you meant otherwise, sorry that I mis-understood your meaning.
Get information means get information...from any source.
Ask mini told me I'm currently in production and completion date is july 4th. Born on the fourth of July! Yippee! (Now calling MA to verify status....)
I am in the body shop. Completion is scheduled for July 1. It looks like there are two boats leaving Saturday July 5 for Charleston. One is WW the other K-Line. I expect there are lots of us on this thread that will be aboard one of those.

I'm scheduled for a June 30 finish, too. I bet mine is in the line right in front of yours!
They are still telling me week 27 but no production date yet. I would think i would have a date by now since its this week. This is still a lot sooner than I expected, when I ordered I was told August build and September delivery.
We thought we were Week 28, but found out Friday that our Clubbie will be completed July 1. Hopefully she will make one of the ships heading out July 5.
Whoo Hoo... Got my VIN; car began prod on the 26th. Looks like we "Week 27'ers" are having our cars enter the body/paint shop in Week 26, with the car expected to be completed in Week 27.
.... and continuing along these lines, the wife and I [tentatively I guess] decided last night... we shall name thee Little Buddy [ Lil'Buddy ?] ... aka 'Gilligan'.
I have high confidence w/the added Nav option, I won't be getting lost on a "3 hour tour".
For those of us completing production on the fourth, could we be on one of the ships that leave july 5th
Probably not. The sticky thread about production and tracking says:
"Once your MINI has passed Final QA, it sits for up to 24 hours at the plant and then is loaded onto a rail car and shipped 67 miles to Southampton, England for transport! Typically it takes about 36 hours for your MINI to arrive at the Southampton docks once you’ve passed Final QA. This is of course entirely dependent upon the freight train schedules which are out of anyone’s control."
