GLK arrived at Halifax.. How long till it reaches me?
I tracked my GLK and it got discharged at Halifax today. I live in Edmonton. Anyone around edmonton, or in the Alberta area know how long it generally takes to take delivery?

I found this site while digging in my archive:
http://www.2wglobal.com/www/WEP/index.jsp
From there choose "Track & Trace" from the "Customer Tools" drop-down list.
If you use the VIN in the "CARGO ID", you will get tracking status info from the time the vehicle is booked in Bremen to the time it's release by the liner at the port of arrival.

Hope it all goes well

EdenGLK,
When did you order your GLK ?
I ordered mine back in July 16 and the salesman say my GLK should be ready for pickup in the 1st week of October. It is a month away and he still didn't give me a VIN# yet. I am getting a bit worried.

No need to get worried. It takes a week across the Atlantic and it's more time on the train. I got my VIN a day before it was on the ship. What you can do is as him for the build order. You will get an ides when the production date is, and then you can do thx math on approximate delivery.

Jeep Cherokee Laredo, 2010 MB GLK 350
I ordered mine about a week after you did and was told that it would be in the Sept. production run. Assuming it's made Sept. 15 and 1 week to cross the ocean and 3 weeks by train from Halifax I'm hoping for delivery Oct 15, but Oct 31 most likely.

I dunno about this, but he probably put the order in around the mid-july, so we could have gotten on the same batch of production orders.
My VIN number indicated that it was booked on the ship on July 30th, and shipped and loaded from Halifax today (September 3rd). If your lucky, we might be on the same train

I am in a rental now and I asked the dealership for a loaner for a few weeks until the GLK arrives. But it looks like this won't be necessary as apparently they have this "RUSH" service. When it arrives in Halifax, my GLK will be on a truck / train to Toronto the day the ship arrives. Dealer said it would take about a week. I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Thanks everyone.....you guys/gals make me feel better.
When I ordered back July 16. The salesperson said it will make the August build (approx 6 - 8 weeks for build and 4 weeks for shipping). He said the worst case it will be mid Oct. But it should be sooner. I don't know much about building cars, but does it really take up to 8 weeks ? Every time I see a GLK on the road, I picture myself driving mine.

I ordered in mid July. I spoke with my salesman today and asked for an update. He said the GLK is at the Germany port waiting to be shipped (roughly one week to cross the Atlantic). When it reaches Halifax, it will be another 3 weeks via train to Vancouver. So, I will have to wait till mid Oct. He also said sales of the GLK is crazy and any new orders now will be Jan 2010 (4 months wait time).

My sales guy sent me an email yesterday (Sept. 10) to let me know the GLK was off loaded on the 9th in Halifax and it's on a train to Toronto already. ETA is mid-late next week.
I also heard that GLK's ordered in Aug / Sept will have to wait until Jan for delivery...MB Canada sales continue to be extremely strong. I'm just glad they didn't bump the rates on me, everything is the same as it was when I did the original order back in early July.

When I signed my papers in mid July, the rate was 3.9% at the time. The saleman said it should be similar when I pick up in Oct. But I don't see any special rate offered for the GLK at the MB special promo website anymore. It was advertized in July & Aug. I hope they honor the same 3.9% when I pick up.

However, I ordered mine in mid aug, and I don't need to wait until Jan.

MB told me the same, you get the rates locked in @ delivery. Everything up until that point is an estimate. MB did also indicate there could be some wiggle room if the rates substantially changed...either way its moot for me now anyway considering the rates are the same as when I ordered back in July...

Congrats everyone here... I remember the waiting period (waited six months since we wanted Keyless Go). May these days go by fast for all you guys, since it is a painful wait. But at the end, on delivery its speechless (wait was well worth it).

Yup looking at a tire and rim package. I am trying to see if we can get a group buy and see what I can get. Would people be interested in this? Want to see what's the interest so I can negotiate on the price.
