MEDEA - check in

Alex_bm · 04-13-2007, 06:59 PM

Trying to be a realistic in regards to the delivery date (if that even possible now), probably end April. Any sooner then that will be a bonus.

Today is the day for fellows canadians travelling on Medea!

Hope that CN folks won't ruin our joy...

Realistically, I was thinking mid to late May due to CN. I hope I'm wrong.

Alex_bm · 04-15-2007, 03:33 PM

I hope so too, it's only partial strike this time. I can't wait another month. My wife will put me into mental institution

Won't be that long....my ship came in on Apr.2, and my car arrives at the dealership tomorrow.

Alex_bm · 04-15-2007, 06:21 PM

2 weeks, roughly what I had in mind. That's without the strike too

Andre, what city are you in ?

AndreTheGeek · 04-15-2007, 08:27 PM

I'm in Ottawa. Train went to Montreal, then on a truck from there.

Looks like the Medea has sailed from Halifax and is on its way to SC.

Alex_bm · 04-16-2007, 09:48 AM

Once it arrives in SC, how long will it take?? I am dying here! 1 week I hope?

Alex_bm · 04-19-2007, 12:47 PM

Has any-one in Canada heard from their dealers yet?

spoke with mine today. He advised that their was a backlog of cars in halifax and that BMW Canada was trying to prioritize all the pre-sold cars for shipping. He thought that they would receive notice from BMW Canada on Monday with regard to delivery times. Take that info for what it is worth......I really do not think they know just exactly how the CN problems will effect deliveries.

Alex_bm · 04-19-2007, 02:33 PM

Damn, of course there is a backlog... now that my is there.. grrr:mad:

Thanks for the update

I've spoken to my CA and the sales manager. Both told me that delivery time from port to dealer in Atlanta is 5-7 days. Don't know about time to TX.

I'm on that ship too. I was told about 7 days to get to Houston.

HellFish · 04-20-2007, 09:12 AM

does that include Saturday and Sunday?

My CA said 5-7 days and that I should have mine tues, wed, or thur of next week. Looks like that does include weekends. However, I read on another post that the VPC usually doesn't work on the weekends.

Also, what is everyone else getting when they call the 800 number? Mine has reverted to saying "at the port awaiting a shipping vessel."

HellFish · 04-21-2007, 10:31 AM

Mine says awaiting a vessel also lol

335iNut · 04-23-2007, 11:35 AM

My CA just called and said that my car was released from VPC and I'd be able to pick her up tomorrow or Wednesday!

How am I supposed to get any work done the next two days?

Just forget about it. Pretend it's going to be another week.

Somehow you will survive!
