Vessel Franconia Departing 6/4 for the East Coast

Crazy Bimmer · 06-17-2007, 02:39 AM

woohoo.

Theres no way to track it now, correct?

Really wondering what day it will get to my dealer. I wanna take the day off for it.

vapordoc · 06-17-2007, 08:38 AM

Looks like we actually beat Courage into Port.
Here's a list of vessels currently in Charleston.
Only ours and Courage have vehicle cargo.
Anybody know what "Work Start Time" is?

vapordoc · 06-17-2007, 09:43 AM

Sweet!

Looks like the Franconia left the Port at 9am this morning.

All of our cars are officially on US soil.
Now I guess all we can do is keep each other informed of when we are contacted about our cars' arrival dates.
We beat the Courage.

Vapordoc, I think you should go into the shipping business, because you are an ace cargo tracker. Thanks for the update!

Will let you know when I hear about my arrival.

Rodrigo · 06-17-2007, 10:02 AM

I was on the Franconia too! My CA had also let me know that it docked yesterday. Hopefully I'll have my car in time for the weekend.

Has anyone's status changed to "at the VPC"? Mine hasn't.

Crazy Bimmer · 06-18-2007, 08:12 PM

Dont think they update that until Friday. OC is never updated.

Grimace · 06-18-2007, 11:11 PM

No change in my status either. Still "In Transit" & "En Route."

Crazy Bimmer · 06-19-2007, 08:38 AM

I bet they do that so we dont bug our SA too much.

Crazy Bimmer · 06-19-2007, 09:32 AM

My SA says my car has an e.t.a of 6/25/07

Meh, i wanted it before the weekend!!

Grimace · 06-19-2007, 11:07 AM

ya mine hasnt hit the VPC yet. my CA just checked =(

Crazy Bimmer · 06-20-2007, 09:25 AM

Where is everyone?

vapordoc what has your SA said?

gerbs · 06-20-2007, 09:31 AM

Damn, 5 days jesal? you're so close!!

Crazy Bimmer · 06-20-2007, 09:47 AM

Rodrigo · 06-20-2007, 11:19 AM

I just called the 800 number and it said my vehicle is "at the port awaiting a shipping vessel." WTF?

Mine says the same thing.
I emailed my CA but haven't heard anything back from him yet.
This wait is killing me.

Any news from your CA grimace? Seems like he communicates with you better than most.

vapordoc · 06-20-2007, 05:19 PM

Just heard back from my CA. He said it "may make it in on Saturday." I'm assuming that means I wouldn't be able to pick it up until Monday. He didn't say anything about the current status...he is a man of few words.

Rodrigo · 06-20-2007, 06:50 PM

I spoke with my CA and he said that I should be able to pick my car up tomorrow evening or Friday morning at the latest. From my experience with him I'm not taking this too seriously but I have my hopes up. I'll let you guys know if I hear anything more trustworthy.
