Vessel: Freedom - 06/12/07

gerbs · 06-12-2007, 11:26 PM

Yeah, I have a good idea... muahaha

I'm going to tease ya with a new avatar, maybe I'll tell you in a few days

I feel so mean...

GreyGhost · 06-13-2007, 06:29 AM

I believe I am on this ship as well. I still can't understand why my delivery date is July 26th? Is that normal for Performance Center Delivery?

GreyGhost · 06-13-2007, 06:32 AM

I have been trying to figure out exactly how to find out what ship my car is on with no luck... and I have read thru the tracking guide a few times too. Any tips?

Stinger · 06-13-2007, 06:52 AM

Only your CA knows for sure what ship you are on.

If you are on the Freedom your delivery date should be around 7/7-7/15. You might have been told 7/26 because the dealership wants to give the schedule some slack. It's an old project management trick, makes it look like everything was done ahead of schedule.

With PCD, they have to schedule you along with everyone else doing PCD's. So they definitely want to make sure to give enough time to get your car in and get it ready, then they have to find an open time slot. So you end up waiting a little longer to get your car, but everything I hear is the PCD is worth the wait.

As far as tracking what ship your car is on, why bother at this point? If you know you'll do PCD on the 26th, then it doesn't matter if your car gets in tomorrow or on July 14 or anywhere in between...you'll still get the car on the 26th.

gerbs · 06-13-2007, 08:04 AM

Still listed at 'Awaiting Transport' and my VIN isn't trackable on WW's site yet. Hopefully it'll update soon, unless I'm on a diff. ship

Good point.

Same here... that and I still don't know who that hottie is on your profile.

krf335 · 06-13-2007, 09:37 AM

Anyone have access to the bill of lading number for Freedom? I entered my VIN, but it hasn't shown up yet.....figured I'd try it the other way. I hope I made it! My 335 arrived at the port about 6 days ago.

bmrfam · 06-13-2007, 10:03 AM

I have seen people ask for the BOL before but I am not sure how that would help. If it is truely a BOL, then it will be unique to each piece of cargo. If it is really an MBOL, then it would show all cargo on the vessel. I am a Logistics Consultant so 100% of my customers worldwide have always done it this way and I know WW does it that way for many things (haven't worked directly with their roro cargo visibility system).

When I use just the BOL I have to search at WW, only my VIN comes up as associated with it.

Have you guys seen something else? I do not mind PM'ing someone the BOL to try but I think it only pulls up unique cargo.

krf335 · 06-13-2007, 10:48 AM

Last time I entered a BOL on WW's site, it showed all of the BMW vehicles aboard, sorted by VIN. Apparently, that shows up before the VIN does. Dunno?

bmrfam · 06-13-2007, 10:58 AM

I'll let you try. You have PM.

krf335 · 06-13-2007, 11:09 AM

Ah, yeah, it didn't show any differently for me. When I'd entered the BOL# for Toledo, it showed multiple vehicles. Ah well, I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait for the VIN to show up ;-)

bmrfam · 06-13-2007, 11:36 AM

Hey, it was worth a try. Hopefully, you are already on board cruising the North Sea as we speak.
