On it's way...

I found out today my replacement E5 is on the water. "Scheduled" ETA is 7-21 in the US.. the dealer estimates by 7-26 should be delivered!

I think Chris's is either on the same boat.. or left on a boat before mine... so he'll probably take his delivery days before me!

I tried the Cargo Tracking link someone posted on the forum some time ago.. and my car doesn't come up.. any other "trackers" out there? I have the VIN #.

Thanks
Peter

Peter,

I tried the Wallenius & Wilhelmsen site, but no match for my VIN. It would be cool if ours were delivered at the same time!

Yeah, nothing comes up for me either on that site. Check this.. Gary (my new sales rep.. MC is now in Sugarland) told me it's ETA in the US (customs) is 7-21. Check your ETA. If it's the same.. we're on the same boat =)

We should take simultaneous deliveries.. I think we MIGHT be the first two in town with NAV!!! Maybe!

I was at my dealer last week and was told that mine is scheduled to hit the dock in Baltimore on the 7th. Guess I should have it the week of the 14th. First thing tomorrow is to order AMG IV wheels and some summer rubber. Can't wait.

I was told at the time the list was made (about the Nav pre-orders) that I was #1 on MB Greenway list. Of course, once it hit the bureaucracy of the replacement process, there was no guarantee that mine would be among the first delivered. I think my salesperson told me that there were around 50 cars affected at MB Greenway.

Your vin may not be showing up on the W&W site because the car wasn't shipped via Wallenius. Mine was shipped via HUAL lines... ask your sales rep, NETSTAR should have the name of the vessel and the shipping line. Unfortunately only Wallenius has tracking but you can pull schedules from the HUAL site.
