UK Mustang delivery

The waiting for a boat bit is the worst, no way of telling how long your car will sit at the docks. Even without blizzards it is a bit of a lottery. I got this response last week when asking if there was any criteria for the order of cars being allocated a vessel...

"Sadly it is how they arrive on the rail from the Plant to the docks. They are shunted into lines alongside the docks and when the vessel arrives driven on in that order, row by row. One vessel we used had over 3500 units of which only 122 were mustangs so you can see the problems we have of trying to schedule."

Well, no, I can't really see the problems. It has to be either "cars go on in the order they arrive" In which case everyone gets a fair slot, though it looks like I've been forgotten if this is their method OR it's a "First off, last on" policy, which is pretty shit.

Much like everything else it whiffs of whatever's easiest for those concerned. I guess easiest also means most cost effective so its not going to change.

If this is the case, then those of us that were due to be on the TAMESIS & are not damaged :frusty: should be on the next boat then assuming they were at the front of the queue ?

For your car to make it to you early March after an early February build it would have to come over on the Tardis, not Tarago... ;)

That was the sarcasm in the statement :lol:. I'll put it on a plane myself!

I think thats what all the cars come over on.
Enter some numbers, press a button and it may arrive somewhere, some time in the future!

Think it's been said earlier in this mammoth thread; all the window stickers say WWL as they run the the facility at the dock. It doesn't necessarily men your car will get onto one of their ships. Not sure exactly how this is determined, I think VINs are drawn out of a hat once cars are at the docks.

In that case - does K-Line have a tracking service akin to WWL? That'd be handy.

My 2.3 EB was built on 3rd December, (ordered in July 2015)left for Baltimore over the Christmas break.

It has been doing an Ottis Reading (sitting on the dock of the bay ) since the 4th of January 2016, and still not given a shipping date.

Karen and Stacy are as helpful as they can be, but there is only so much they can do.

Now I suspect the Magnetic colour looks Polar white doing a Michelin man impersonation under all the snow.

The word that sums it up is "Frustration"

It could be so much better.

Come on Ford pull your finger out !
