kjrhammer - How did you get that info? Hope you don't mind me asking but since MINI and the shipping lines haven't been able to help six or seven of us maybe your route to detail can help. Thanks and Congrats!

I got the ship info from my MA this morning. Last Wednesday, October 1, she told my my MINI was "on it's way". I asked her about the ship last week and bumped her again this morning - I usually contact her via e-mail to be more discreet at work...

good luck!

Thanks for the info. Email sent. I'll buzz back in if and when I get an answer.

Answer:

BMW shipes in buylk with our car carrier department. IT would take sometime to review over 250 vin numbers for your particular unit.

You will need to contact BMW as we do not receive a load confirmation from the overseas port.

BMW contact: Ms. Donnie Barnes
Greer, South Carolina

Jen, that's the same number I got earlier this morning. It's a personal cell phone for a girl named Katie. She has nothing to do with BMW or shipping according to her.

Same here. The phone is for Katie. Bothered her twice today. At this rate she is going to change her number!

I don't know if it sucks more to be us or Katie today. Draik and I both pinged her number twice today!

Poor Katie, now I've posted her number and my bet is more folks will call her without reading further down. Ms. K-Line is checking her records and will get back to me. I must say, she is quick on the emails.

I was also given that same wrong number 3 weeks ago! Sucks to be Katie today!

Stay on top of you MA or Sales Manager. That is going to be your best bet. I know some are better than others but it was how I eventually got my answers and with that also came the BOL number... which means nothing once they have confirmed that you are on a ship already.

Jen, you could go back and edit out the phone number from you post... just an idea.

Just got an email from Marie at K-Line. She is emailing BMW to confirm and have them email me direct. I got the phone # from 2 different people at K-Line.

I don't know if this will help but the main number for BMW in Greer SC is 864-989-6000. Donnie Greer is the Customs Compliance Manager but I couldn't locate her direct dial. Good luck.

Doo, I'll bet money you and Jen are on board too. Just keep pinging away at you MA or Sales Manager (if your MA is out) until you hear something. I'm glad I didn't start the day calling and being an a**hole to people, thenfind out I was already on board.
BOL# HAM109761 if anyone is interested
