NEXT BATCH BUILDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MustangDownUnder]

Oh I don't disagree Ford US should do more RHD builds, and their claim they were surprised isnt really true, they had enough preorders to identify they were going to fall short in their planned build allocations.

But they cannot control the wait at the ports, for customs or for space on a ship. If your car is stuck at the ports, stop complaing to Ford and email the Baltimore ports, they are the only ones that control it.

If you want to know more about who to contact .. http://mpa.maryland.gov/content/roro.php

I dont need to cantact anyone yet as my car has not been built. Ty for the info though, im sure someone will find it useful.

True that! I have a bit of a head start.

Also I heard the plant only runs 6 days a week. But yes I agree they should just smash out the RHD over a 2 week period. Think of all that money they will get from us as they would deliver them quite quickly

Im pretty sure Ford would have a lot of control as they are the customer - they could decide to spend more money and book more vehicles on more vessels.

That thought doesn't make sense. The cost to ship is the same, regardless if they do as you infer and purposefully choose to delay cars being loaded.

WL is the largest RoRo shipping company in the world and has had a huge impact on expansion for the port of baltimore.

Ford US have stated that the entire 2017 build allocation is ordered for AU. Its only a 6 month wait for NZ orders though.

Just realised, I meant 2016.

What you failed to pick up from my last post was the point about more vessels - why restrict to one shipping company. Surely there must be more options out there.

Ahh yeh I did not pick up on that thought.

I would hazard a guess to say it's a long standing business agreement to secure best possible rates and priority bookings from WL. That is, Ford can't use any other company and gets better benefits for doing so.

So using different companies would mean increased cost to us.

Yup that makes a bit of difference

:doh: See? I wasn't trying to be an ass, just called you up on a date that seemed off.

No need to flare up like a whirlpool idiot, check your facts before you start calling people names.

Name calling on the internet hurts!

Well the last time I shipped 4000+ cars around the planet, I cant even remember anymore, so I'm not going to argue about things I have no idea about.

Just because they are mustangs cant mean customs can only process 50 a week or whatever the number is, (yes Quick Duck im sure its the wrong number)

When they pump out thousands of other models of cars to stock dealers around Australia, im sure that happens at a greater rate than 100 cars per car carrier. The bottle neck is being caused by something else.

I didn't flare up at all, just ignored your request for source.

The only time when I called you names, was when you added the 'constructive' synch 3 comment, that was acting like a dick, wear it proudly, it's how you act on a lot of your 'constructive' posts
