KT157,
Check out the first page of the Ultimate Order Tracking Guide thread.

Ok some more info for you guys. It seems like I actually went into production early this week. Phone # now says "In production with 10/18 completion date"

Ordered on 9/10, got production # on 9/14, in production on 10/11. Seems like a long wait to me...probably cuz of alum and comfort access.

What is reasonable timing for me to expect my car to NYC from this point?

How are the rest of your mid-September orders fairing right now?

[wchew]

For me, the 1800 number now says "In production, estimated completion time is October 14th". Pete, ours could end up to be on the same ship. Can't wait...

Ordered on 9/3.

[lux.sh]

lol. Ordered 9.08.2005, vehicle arrived at the dealership 10.10.2005.
Picking it up soon. Hell one month was long enough for me.

:mad: Can somebody explain why is this happening? We are both on the west coast of the United States! Mine is a 330 as well.... but I have comfort access though...is that why mine is so much slower than yours?

Also, on my order sheet, I see that the priority is "3-stock priority", what does that mean? do people have different priority?

Heard about Comfort Access causing delays. Not sure if that is the reason though.

[petesamprs]

I think it's a function combination of the trim/options you ordered, but more importantly what slot your dealer had for you when you ordered.

For those who waited only 1 month, the dealer might have already had a car about to go into production that was allocated to it, and it just changed some options and color to made it your car. That saves a ton of time.

Doubt we'll be on the same ship, since mine is coming to the east coast and yours is west. Time of departure might be the same though.

(Time of arrival is a different story)

Pete,

I think we are in the same boat. Literally.

Ordered 9.11, hit status 150 on 10.11, thanks to comfort access and aluminum trim. 1-800 says its completion date is 10.19

What is troubling to me is, if my car went into production on 10.11, why in the world does it tale 7 full business days to complete a car? I have been in many auto plants, and never has a car take this long, maybe 3-4 days if the plant is working only one shift, but it is positively inconceivable that full production of any standard assembly line automobile could take 7 days. As you can see below the completion date is EXTREMLY important to anyone in the next week or so

Anyway following is the shipping schedule from Bremerhaven to Charleston:
Depart Ship name Arrive Charleston
10.14 Patriot 10.28
10.15 Liberty 10.29
10.17 Integrity 11.3
10.24 Freedom 11.10
11.1 Patriot 11.17

06 330 White/Grey/Aluminum Convenience/Sport/Cold & comfort access Taking delivery at Spartanburg PDC, don’t know the date yet…

I think they under-promise and over-deliver. My car had a scheduled completion date of 10/13 and it was finished yesterday a day early. It was only like 6 business days and it was probably faster than that since the 800 and OC are usually behind.

[wchew]

Mine is scheduled to be completed on October 14th, however, right now it is only in the paint shop (152), 24 hours ago it was in the body shop (151). So one state change in 24 hours, I wonder how are they going to go all the way to 155 in another 24 hours......

I called the 1800 number, "she" just told me that my car is in the paint shop. Somebody posted the code on page one of this thread, I just refered to that.

Don't feel bad, I placed my order in February and took delivery on 23 September. IT was a long wait, but worth every minute!

My status is now "your car's production is complete. Waiting to be release onto carrier." Is that mean my car will get on the Integrity?

Not necessarily, it also means waiting for a ride to Bramerhaven. Once it gets to port then it needs to wait for a space on a ship.

[Minlet]

Wchew,

Did you car hit the integrity? Today mine just finished production, so it will be on the Freedom, I hope.

[hevley]

I ordered mine the 16th of sept. It finished production sometime the first week of oct. and then seemed like forever that it was at the port awaiting a shipping vessel. I really got tired of hearing that lady on the 1800 number tell me that everyday. On the 17th in the morning my dealer said it was still waiting but tue. the nice lady told me she was in route!!! I searched the shipping website and found out she got on the patriot-will get to SC on the 29th. It is so hard to wait but I feel better that it is on the way now

I think I misunderstood...I thought Freedom, Integrity, etc is the shipping vassel to U.S, seems like they are not?

Anyway, the status of my car has been "at the port waiting for shipping vassel" for 5 days now....it is absolutely killing me. How about you, Minlet? And when did you ordered yours?

[Minlet]

Wchew,

I ordered Sep 19, but had to wait due to the aluminum and CA. Mine is in Bemerhaven now. If it does not hit the Freedom, It will be +-Dec 5th before I see it......... Say a prayer for me.....
