WEST Coast delivery time from order?

Just ordered out first MINI Cooper S hardtop a week ago from NW MINI in Tacoma.

Anyone with a recent time-frame for how long it took for yours to arrive? MA said 8 weeks...... hoping for sooner....

8 days in production
1-13 days waiting for a ship
22 days to Port Hueneme
2 to whatever days to pass inspection at the VDC
3? days by truck to Tacoma
1 to whatever days for your dealer to clean & inspect


I've been waiting since 4/21. The car arrives in Port Hueneme tomorrow.

Same here. Been at the port for almost a week. My guess is we'll be on the "Glorious Leader" scheduled to leave on June 22nd or something.

Is there a way to track the ships progress?

Put my VIN in with % wild card for last few numbers - pulled up other MINIs, but not mine. So that means mine is not checked in at the Southampton dock yet I guess....... Glorious Leader ship arrives in Southampton on June 22, and Hueneme, CA on July 13th. Sounds like we will have the MINI well before August if it makes that voyage. WooHoo......

WW provides a great website for you to check to see whether your MINI is booked aboard WW (or ARC) ships. You will need to start at the WW Cargo Tracking website: http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/ Next you will need to select “Auto Cargo” from the menu on the right hand side of the page.

FYI > Your vehicle will off-load at Port Hueneme for the BMW/Cooper VDC. After inspection/installation it will be shipped via truck transport to NW Mini.

Check your Six!

In late '08 my 09 took exactly 110 days from mid-July order to Election Day delivery, but then it had to backtrack halfway across America to get to my dealer.

But that's nothing: my 05 MCS took just under nine months from deposit to delivery.

Awesome. But, how did you determine that? None of the sites seem to have the ship in range.

Definitely getting excited on my end.

Found this posted on a BMW site - His car was on the Glorious Leader too and he took delivery Friday the 16th:

My ship hit the port 4 days ago, and I got my car today. My Dealer is very close to Oxnard VPC. It's a dream machine....Reality has not kicked in yet...what a gas guzzler. Half tank in one day! It has new voice command for Nav. You could speak the entire address in one shot...Have to figure out the new idrive abit more.
