Tell me about it. I ordered my car on March 2. On March 15, I called my MA and inquired about it. The Lounge keeps saying "On Order." He looked it up and said it'll start production on March 21. I'm in San Jose, CA. The boat will take extra long to West Coast. So doesn't look like I'll get my car till late April, possible May. Oh well. Nothing I can do but wait. I'm not even ordering anything funky either, I think. I ordered:

Ok, my husband talked me down off the ledge and convinced me that I wasn't being frivolous by getting a new MINI instead of a used one. So I'll be picking up my '11 today. I think part of my problem was that getting the new one made it final that El Kabong is gone. I tend to get very attached to certain cars (obviously ). My mom used to love to tell the story of when I was about 3-4 and they sold our old Ford Galaxy and I apparently stood in the driveway sobbing when the guy drove away in it. To the point that the guy almost didn't buy the car .
I'll post some pics later.

Oddly enough, when my wife and I traded our Subaru Baja "Peppy" in for our Prius "Phoebe", my wife cried and I actually had a lump in my throat! After I get my MINI "Maxx" I'll be selling Phoebe, but I don't think I'll be shedding any tears. Just tears of joy at having fun driving again!

Ok, our deposit has run through the bank (March 9th) and we have heard nothing from our MA. We've received no email from MINI USA site. Today is the 20th, is this normal? I am still in Japan but getting ready to evacuate in the next couple of days (its voluntary, but the command is insistent anyway). I'm pretty much trying to distract myself from what's going on here...
How long once your deposit went through did it take for you to hear from your MA and MINI?

If you go back to the ship cargo tracking link and put your VIN back in there and look up that record it now shows Mar 24 for Baltimore. It previously had listed Mar 23. Also, if you find the WW Shipping Schedule, it has also changed from estimated arrival of Mar 23 to Mar 24. I figure WW's own info is more accurate than the port info.

Hopefully the Topeka will somehow find a faster current in the ocean and get back on original schedule. I really wish I knew why it got delayed and the other ship location stuff would show it's location more recent than where it was on Wednesday.

It really depends on whether or not your dealer gave you an existing spot in their line up or whether you needed to wait until their next allocation. As others have said, it could take up to 5 weeks or so if you didn't get an existing spot in the line. If you got an existing spot it could only take a few days. I assume you have a production number? At any rate, have you signed up and tracked it in the OL? Does that just say its on order still?
Hopefully the evac here will be done by Tuesday and I can actually go to the MINI dealership before next Friday and talk to the MA in person.

That's just it- I haven't received anything to tell me how to sign up at the Owner's Lounge and look up the order. No production number or anything. I have no idea if we have an existing spot or not...

But most importantly, I hope you and your family are ok and will return home safely.

My MA gave me my order number when I put down the deposit. The order number activated on the ol.miniusa.com website a few days later. I'd email your MA and ask for your order number. I found my MA's email on my Mini dealer's website.
On a different note, I got a priority one production spot from my dealer an production should have began a few day later. However there was a component shortage (per my MA and Mini 800#) for my JCW so that's why it took 5 weeks to make.
