Detailed Order Process (UK-S550)

[Ritchie]

Wonder how we can tell them the dealers to hurry up Ritchie politely!

Not that anybody probably cared about order to delivery times nowadays, but that would be 6 months and 3 days if it arrives on the 27th.

I just mailed my dealer quoting the mail I got from Karen to emphasis the fact he doesn't know his arsehole from his earhole.

He responded ny telling me he returns to work next Wednesday and will update me then.

Message from Karen.. here we go then!!

Hello Nigel
Apologies, I have been on annual leave.
It was Gate released from Flat Rock on the 15th April. It hasn’t yet been released from the plant. It is due in Baltimore around the 26th April though and then will be scheduled on a vessel to Zeebrugge.

I hope this helps
Kind Regards
Karen

I'm still waiting for a response to my email which I should have got 2 Fridays ago. But it's okay. My car has been booked on a ship.

What are the turn around times in Europe these days?

Mine was on holiday in Zeebrugge for 3 weeks :(

Well, yeeee hawwwww, hot dipity dawg, whoop whoop, hell yeah.

After 72 days mine has just updated to go on the Talisman.

Hope it's been wrapped up and kept warm for the last 10 weeks.

Mine is still on holiday in Zeebruge... 3.5 weeks and counting.

I haven't had a reply from Andy Barratt (Ford UK MD) or Karen, but I did air my frustrations with my dealership over the weekend (I arrived in a nice new M4 BMW to get their attention, alternatives are available and been trialled), they said a May 13th delivery is now likely... then called me the following day to say it would be on this Fridays ship to Southampton and id be able to collect on the 27th April. All sounds great but making it happen is another thing.... at this point id accept that, only 6weeks later than initially promised.

over 3 weeks in Zee?!

I would have pulled all my hair out by the 3rd day into week 3!

I hope it doesn't take that long for when the talisman lands. I think there are a lot of GB Mustang on there so hopefully turnaround will be quick.

hopefully ***eye roll***

Myweepony - You must be very calm to have waited 72 days for it to get on a ship!

I certainly wasn't near the end! checking w&w god knows how many times a day, as will be on day 70 when talisman hopefully sets sail. I see it's pushed back a day today to the 21st hope this will be the last delay we have. And hope you guys who were on the Tijuca get your cars very soon with the delay you have been having in zee!!

According t WWL they are picking up 64 cars for Zeebrugge on the Taliisman

Zeebrugge is an odd one. They closed the Flat rock factory in October for a week and then for a while cars were in and out of ZB within 10 days, but from what i can tell once they had filled up the queue things went back to 2-3 weeks but i think 3 weeks is extreme!

Maybe they are actually undersealing them :lol:

Talisman is parked up at the docks. Probably getting loaded/unloaded as we speak. I'm following it on VesselFinder app. How sad is that :lol:

 

[Paul S Lawrence]

I'm told my car will be on tomorrow's ship from Zeebruge to Southampton... does anyone have any idea which ship it is then I can track it?
