Anybody on the MAERSK WAVE

gdnyc · 03-07-2006, 11:12 AM

I just called the 800 number to see if my car has left VPC yet. It said that my car is at the port awaitinga shipping vessel??

WTF??
I guess at this point, I might as well harass my dealer.
The wait is killing me knowing that my baby is within a 20 mi radius...

I called the BMW NA 800 number yesterday and got the same response. However, I just checked the Wallenius Line cargo tracking site "Track By Auto" page "Cargo Status History," and it indicated that my 325xi was "discharged" at New York, NY at 19:00 hours on 03/02/06. I'm guessing that our vehicles won't enter the status "At Preparation Center" until they're actually moved from the port's big car park into the Preparation Center facilities.

I get the same thing. Spoke to dealer yesterday. Its on a truck today, should be in Boston tomorrow. I think 1-800 is way behind right now..

any1 gotten a call yet??? AHHHH the wait is killing me

gdnyc · 03-08-2006, 03:03 PM

I spoke to the dealer today. They said they should have it soon. I was hoping for a weekend delivery, but he said it wasn't likely...

LakersFan · 03-08-2006, 03:08 PM

I'm hoping to get mine at least by mon. I have the day off and it's mine and my GF's 4 or 5 month anniv. (i should prob find that out) It would be nice to go pick her up in the BMW as a little surprise

bsjd00 · 03-08-2006, 10:57 PM

gdnyc, why is your car delayed until Monday? Josh49 was supposed to have his car delivered in Boston today, meaning he should be picking it up as early as tomorrow or Friday. You are closer (NYC) to the VPC (NJ) than Boston is.

I'm right in the middle of NY and Boston (I'm in CT) so I'm wondering where my delivery will fall...

gdnyc · 03-08-2006, 11:53 PM

I have no idea whats taking so long. I thought for sure I would have it this weekend. Oh well.... A few more days..
The wait is horrendous

Josh49 · 03-09-2006, 03:26 PM

I haven't gotten mine yet, and as of now its not even at the dealers. I have no clue whats taken so long. This blows!! Its supposed to be 60 tomorrow.

Josh

gdnyc · 03-09-2006, 03:33 PM

BMW OC says it at the VPC. The 800 # says it's at the port waiting for a shipping vessel.. WTF??

Hopefully we will get our cars soon

Josh49 · 03-09-2006, 03:44 PM

Yup. I have the same status. All around. I think they lost our cars. I just spoke with my dealer he says he has no clue whats going on either. He says the ports are running slow, everything is delayed. Even the x5's and stuff from South Carolina are crawling...

gdnyc · 03-09-2006, 04:26 PM

It must be the Audi gremlins tinkering around. They are pissed at us HA!

bsjd00 · 03-09-2006, 05:59 PM

My dealer here in CT is expecting the car in tomorrow, Friday. But by the time they PDC it and install the alarm, we are looking at a delivery on Monday at the earliest.

So much for a nice weekend.

By the way, I am coming from a 2006 Audi A4 (that is currently the subject of a lemon law suit) so I believe the story about Audi Gremlins delaying our BMWs.

LakersFan · 03-09-2006, 11:08 PM

Geez, i am def. getting a little bit angry now, hahaha, i mean where are our cars??? hahah did they lose them??? mann this sucks, ok time to take a breath and just keep waiting, i look at my cell phone like every 5 mins thinkin my CA is calling, but still nothing

Josh49 · 03-10-2006, 01:33 PM

Latest Update on mine:

CA called this morning. Finally got out of the port, truck left NY 6:18 this morning. Should arrive somewhere over the weekend. Paperwork usually follows the car by a day or two. Then PDI'd, stuff installed... looking at delivery late next week. So another week of waiting begins..

Hopefully end of next week:

bsjd00 · 03-10-2006, 02:13 PM

My car arrived in Connecticut today. Paperwork to follow, and PDI and alarm install to be complete on Tuesday.

I'll be picking her up on Thursday...

Good luck to all!

gdnyc · 03-10-2006, 02:17 PM

When you guys mention "paperwork to follow", what do you mean? Is it the filing of the finance/lease/state registration paperwork?

Josh49 · 03-10-2006, 04:02 PM

No the actual papers for the car (showing ownership) follow the car by a day or two. They are not shipped with the car. If they were you could steal the car and papers you'd be all set. So they ship them separately. Its the same way a bank sends you the credit card and pin number separately, and they arrive on different days. That way if someone steals your mail one day they won't have both..

PS. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong..

LakersFan · 03-12-2006, 12:37 AM

AAAHHH, anyone have an update?? I just checked the OC and it says that my vehicle is currntly at my BMW center, good lord how much longer till my CA calls me?? hahah this is gettin close to ending, can't wait to get her

gdnyc · 03-13-2006, 09:16 AM

OC says my car is at the dealer also. I am going to give them a call today to find out when my delivery date is.
Has anybody picked up their cars yet?

gdnyc · 03-13-2006, 01:28 PM

Finally got a call from the dealer. The car will be at their lot tonight. The manager will call me tomorrow to take care of delivery details. Finally!

LakersFan · 03-13-2006, 01:45 PM

YES FINALLY!!! I just got the call and my car is ready, I have the day off and it's 80 degrees outside and i'm going to pick it up in about an hour!!! yes I am so excited, what a great day it's my anniversary and I get to suprise my girl by picking her up in a BMW
