How Long Before I Can Track Shipping Vessel?

My car was listed as "En Route" on Friday, but when I enter the VIN into the shipping company's website, I get "No Record Found." How much longer shouldI expect it to say this?

I am not 100% sure, but I thought it would be pretty quickly.

Another thing to consider is that your car may not be in the boat you think. Have you confirmed with your CA about the shipping company? I read the thread and there it said my car should've gone with Wallemius or whatever their name is. Instead, it went with a vessel from K-line.

Mine changed to En Route on Thursday morning, so it's possible we're on the same ship (Fedora).

Check with your CA. He will be able to find out for sure.

I haven't been able to find any additional information using the VIN, although others have. It probably depends on the company that owns the ship.

Strange...you said your CA said it'd be at the dealership on the 29th. My car gets on a vessel the same day or the day after, and my Performance Center delivery isn't until March 16th. Makes me wonder if maybe it'll be ready earlier.... need to just call my CA and get this answered before I go insane!

Yeah - I would think your car would be available sooner than mine, since mine is a west coast delivery, which should take about 3x longer.

Maybe the delay is caused by the available slots in the schedule at the Perf Delivery center.

Man, I wish I could do Perf Delivery, but there's nothing on the west coast and I don't feel like driving back all that distance.

Find out the ships name and get the bill of lading number. I used the bill of lading to track my ship. Vin never worked for me.

Yep - my car is on K-Line. It'll be arriving in Charleston on Feb 12. Kind of sucks that I have to wait over a month from the time it hits US soil until I actually get it. I guess availability at the performance center screwed me over. Strangely waiting for it to go into production, get on the boat, etc. didn't bother me, but now that I know it's going to be in the US soon, I'm going nuts!
