2008 c350
i just confirmed with the NYK Line and my car was offloaded from the centaurus leader onto the kassel somewhere in newark. No one is really tracking the centaurus leader anymore because it is compeletely empty at the moment. the kassel has arrived at the san diego port this morning and is sailing at 1700 today and will be docking in long beach at 0100 then my car gets unloaded and hopefully trucked to my dealership =D. The lady that helped me out siad that they surveyed the cargo and there was no damage as a result of the ship running aground. i wish i could just fly into long beach and pick up the car myself.

I can undertand your anxiety. The wait is almost over and hope you'll be driving your C real soon

When I followed up on December 11, they said it was delayed until January 11.

It was in fact built on January 11 and it was assigned a boat for Feb 9th departure. The boat arrived on the east coast this past weekend, and my sales agent says I can expect delivery to west coast by March 26.

I guess what I'm saying is that from day one, I was provided an order number with a Netstar report. If they never provided you with one, then they probably kept selling their allotments until you started to say something.

So to answer your question - poor customer service.
I put $2,000 deposit and till this day i don't have any PO or netstar report or anything. so ya im nervous, he says it will be "finished" april and arriving in may. if i look at ur time frame it takes almost 2 months after build to get here, so i wonder when im getting my car!

Woah ... $2000 deposit. That sounds a little excessive. Maybe they sense some risk with you? heh heh, just kidding.
