I just received GREAT news! My Countryman made it on Tamesis!! My MA sent me a screenshot of the vehicle status screen. I just think it's odd it's still not showing up on the WW website. I tried searching with my VIN, the last 7 of my VIN, the bill of landing number, and the reference number and No Results. Oh well, at least I know it's on its way!!
Ordered 4/13
Scheduled for Production 4/16
Estimated Completion 4/23
Released from the production facility 4/24
Arrived at the port in Bremerhaven 4/26
Departed on WWL's Tamesis 5/9
Estimated arrival in Baltimore [WWL says 5/19, MA says 5/17]

My dealer called a little while ago, I missed the call, and whoever it was didn't leave a message and hasn't followed up by email. This is about the level of effort my MA was willing to put into communicating with me since I handed over the deposit, and I haven't heard from him since he stopped answering my emails at the beginning of April.
My car was released to Customs on Wednesday so I'm assuming they've got it now and want to know when I want to take delivery. I'm actually flying out tomorrow for eleven days and can't pick up the car until at least the 22nd. Since the MA has been so bad at communicating with me, I think I'm going to return the favour and be unreachable for a few days. Good thing I'm leaving town or my resolve might crack.

Welcome! Production is usually 2-3 weeks from order date depending on whether your dealer has a slot open. What was your order date? If you have a production number or VIN you can see the status in the MINI owners lounge or by calling 1-866-ASK-MINI (don't call 1-800, that's something completely different as I found out recently). Let's see the rest of your specs...if you have Recaro's we know it's a JCW but what else?

It's nice to be frustrated with a bunch of other good people!
This is my first post here, and I'm for sure suffering from "Hurry Up and Wait" Syndrome. My JCW Hardtop hit QA just 10 days after the order was submitted, which really surprised me, but there's been no news since.
Today, the MA told me that BMW, MINI and Mercedes have started using a new shipper, and that has caused some delays getting cars out of the UK. I did a search here and couldn't find anything about a new shipper - so is this MA BS or for real?

I might have been a negative Nelly with my last post but..........
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!
My MA just sent me an email saying mine FINALLY made it on
TAMESIS!!!!!!! (there were some shipmates here, I think?)
Although the WW's site doesn't have that info...I should trust
what MA tells me, right? Right??
Now I can track the ship...(give MA some break...)

Same here. I was awaiting transport as of 5/3/13 and showed up on the WW's track and trace today. Maybe our MINIs are right next to each other.

Thanks for the support, everyone. It seems to me that with a Mini being the kind of purchase it is, and given the way they encourage you to order one just the way you like, that a relatively easy way to improve the customer experience is to keep in touch about it once the customer has plunked down the deposit. Like KeyPlayaJim said, though, once I got them to finally cough up a production number I was able to find out what was going on with it on my own. Thank goodness!
Also, congrats to all who have been waiting to ship out and finally got the good word.

For those whose babies are on Tamesis...
I am not sure if this means anything...since this clearly
says 'estimated arrival' but...
The screen shot of vehicle inquiry I received yesterday
actually says 'est. arrival 16 May'!!! (Baltimore)
So I am crossing my fingers it will get there that day...
instead of the 19th...

I just checked the WW's site and my car has been loaded on the ship! The ETA still says the 19th on my tracking though. Initially, the Tamesis was supposed to leave Southampton on the 9th so the info you have of the vehicle inquiry may not have been updated to reflect the new departure date. But I would love for our cars to come in earlier. Congrats Thx1158 on your new arrival!

Hopefully mine is next to yours and Mr.T's too I am watching the AIS live map to make sure that TAMESIS really leaves the port with our babies in there (not return to shipper) and I just noticed that you live in MD..how cool! have you thought about going to the port and watch them unload mini's on 19th? just ask coz I heard some people who live close to the port do it sometimes

Light at the end of the tunnel!

From my MA this afternoon:
Your car just arrived!!! What day and time would you like to take delivery?
If only it had arrived yesterday, I would have been able to get it today. Unfortunately, it looks like it will be next Friday now, due to my work schedule. Nevertheless, it's good to know that it finally made it to the dealership!
