Detailed Order Process (UK-S550)

[CoventryCapri]

Mine has/had a blend date of 22/07... beyond that, there is no further information. I called my dealer and they gave me a different date (11th, then 18th) so who knows... I'm not worried; I figure it'll turn up in or around October and I might get it shortly thereafter. It's, for anyone not yet in the ordering phase, around 3 months earlier than originally predicted (8 months end to end if it turns up then). Good in one way - bad in others (like, I won't have saved enough money!). Still, the red devil is built and hopefully once it's here I can make excuses for the exhaust, ride height, lights...

My blend was the 19th, my ETIS only updated last night with the "extra" bits to confirm its been to upfitters. I spoke to my dealer who has an "estimate" eta of week ending 8th October, so i imagine you will be very similar, if that helps!

Mine literally just did the same, so I figured as much!

I think I just passed the cut off for fast turn around.

Ordered Feb 9th. Amended to MY17 colour on the 9th March and built June 15th. Now the car is at Zebbrugge and should be in Southampton weekend of 15th... That's just over 7 months if I make the 1st September Collection.

7 months......that's a blink of an eye. I ordered mine on 24th April, it's not on the Sept build list and "might" be Oct which would be 6 months to build the damn thing. Not a happy bunny today with that news. Fingers crossed for Oct but mine seems to be on track for the 10 month wait predicted! Ok maybe 9 if lucky

My car was discharged from the Figaro at Zeebrugge yesterday 21st August and Stacey has told me the usual turnaround there to Southampton is 2 weeks. In the vain hope that my dealer would be able to track it from Zeebrugge I informed them it had arrived there. The answer I got was a screen dump from VISTA dated 10 August showing location Baltimore!!!
Clearly Vista operates in a different time zone!
Does anyone know how to track from Zeebrugge as I've heard it may be a different shipping line to the one which delivered from Baltimore and hence the 2wglobal.com site will not be any help.
Getting excited now, soon the Mustang will be real.

Once wWL updates. You can ask Stacey when it's booked Onto the autostar which you can track using a marine tracker. I think most are being turned round in a week in zeebrugge so keep asking

Thanks, I copied Stacey in on my mail to the dealer and wwl has already updated as discharged so I would expect to hear soon that it's booked on the autostart which actually is due into Zeebrugge on the 23rd. I can track using the tracker site but I don't know if they have an equivalent site to Wallenius Wilhelmsen where you can put your vin number in.:cheers:

 

[Jimboy2]

They don't I'm afraid. You can only track the vessel

Just heard from Stacey and I'm awaiting customs clearance in Belgium and should have a boat to Southampton allocated end of week of 5th September. I think it was Manders who said Zeebrugge were now turning cars round in a week but with the dates I've been given it looks more like three weeks and another month of good weather gone. Frustrating!

Clearly the spray monkeys at Zeebrugge are now taking much more care and thus lead times are extending. Options
1 - We cannot complain if we expect higher quality, they listen and thus they are taking more care. Clearly your car will arrive with every inch of the underside coated in rock hard, dry sealant.
2 - or we could face reality and accept there is no logic to anything Ford do in making and delivering these cars.

My money's on option 2:rant:

Looks like mine's on the "Toronto" hitting Zeebrugge on the 13th September.

Are you sure that yours isn't IN toronto ;)

That'd be quite worrying, but no, it says the ship name is that. If not.... well, as long as it eventually turns up I'll be happy!

My car status has just updated to Delivered from Zeebrugge, does this mean it's ready for shipping or does the undersealing occur at this status?
The Autostar leaves Zeebrugge tomorrow 2nd Sep and again next Friday 9th Sep. With Stacey on holiday I've no way of knowing if mine is on tomorrow's or if that is too short notice.
The nearer it gets the more impatient I become
