All hail the Faust, sets sale 3/16!

[FirstM3]

With so many people waiting so long to get on a ship, I'm kind of scared I might not get on. I finished production on 3/9/15. I really need the car by latest, the first weekend of April. I placed the order on 12/30/14 so it will have been 3 full months before I actually get the car.

I'm not too far behind you... order placed early January, but I was expecting 1st week of April all along. I think we'll make it on Faust but if we don't get on, then INDEPENDENCE II is right behind her departing a day later. Only downfall is that she makes an extra stop in Sweden so she won't arrive in NY until April 4th.

Does anyone know where the Faust is gonna stop on its journey to NY?

[Jaymax85]

1 more day until it sets sail!!!!

I'm right in the same timeframe, ordered Dec. 29th and completed 3/11. My car was pushed back to week 8 then week 11. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us...

The funny thing is that our chapter of the CCA is scheduled to visit the VPC in NJ on the 18th. Hope I don't see my car there!

Is anyone's vin showing up on the w&w site

What port are you going to? You doing PCD?

[Falafel Combo]

I'm biting my finger nails for you guys. Hoping for some good news soon!!

[XRAVE]

Any news?

[Mrfurious214]

At the 2wglobal website, which field do i type my vin into? Also, do i type the entire vin?

I just called the 800# and was told i haven't been assigned a vessel nor does my car have an estimated shipping date. Is that a bad thing or do they not update that stuff until my car is loaded onto a vessel?

Just praying i get on faust.

Hang in there, dude!! Like I've said, once the ship leaves port, seems that everything updates... tracking info on W&W too. If by the 18th nothing has shown up, then it gets dicey!

Entire VIN, and it goes in the CARGO ID field. As I said in the previous post, the tracking does not seem to update until after the ship leaves port, then, within about 24 hours.

[Jaymax85]

what time do the ships typically leave?? is it midnight the day of?

I hope so. I've been trying to be patient but its really getting hard to wait now lol. Once I'm on the ship I'll be able to relax since I'll have my confirmed PCD date.

Could be ANY time. Depending on loading delays, or any number of different things.

[Jaymax85]

i really hate this waiting game.. like sitting at port for 2+ weeks wasnt bad enough

I'm promising myself, if I ever order a car again (which I probably will), I'm not tracking the process. Period! Call me when it gets here!
