The dealer says the car is made but waiting for ship assignment. Its been like this for over a month. I was wondering if you should shed some more light on the delay ... does it have retrofit credits ?

Thanks
No credits on the MSRP but it is B7C Factory Delayed which is becoming more and more common.

Thanks Cincy for the information!

I guess I have to sit tight and wait for the ship assignment.

No idea why it's stopped at Dundalk port, which is adjacent to Baltimore port. It was not scheduled to stop there. Hoping it's unloading. anyone have any experience with Dundalk?

So I searched some other threads and apparently MB unloads the vehicles at Dundalk and the the ship crosses the harbor to Baltimore. So our cars must have been unloading!

I've been trying to prove to myself I could sleuth which ship my car would be traveling on.
Nope.
I had my eye on Arc Defender and Don Carlos (both Wallenis ships).
Both are now anchored offshore of Bremerhaven.
More sleuthing to be done…

Mine was on same ship. According to dealer, my status is VPC. How do you know it is waiting for carrier assignment?

Mine too! I'm picking up in Nanuet NY so hopefully won't take more than 2 days. The base Burmeister should be pretty good too no?

Washington DC for me. I test drove models with regular and enhanced and the high end is definitely worth it.

You have a PO number? You can easily track your build all the way to the VPC-

Once your car is built in Germany, it goes to Bremerhaven to get loaded. MB uses Wallenius Wilhelmsen to ship to the US
https://www.walleniuswilhelmsen.com/track-trace

On the tracking page, under cargo info, select "Cust Ref Num" and then in the box to the right, paste your PO number in, just the numbers-

It will say either "no record yet" or will pop up a page with the shipping info that includes name of the ship and dates for the itinerary. Once it gets to the VPC in the US, and is unloaded , the status will be updated, then start bugging your dealer for VPC status. Then you have to wait for it to be shipped to your dealer.

It took 4 days after my car was loaded and the ship sailed form Germany before the data base was updated and I got the shipping info, so check it until you get a hit-

Same company will also ship BMW's on these shipments, and in my case, my ship went to the BMW side of the harbor in Baltimore and didn't go over to the MB pier/VPC until after that, so further local delay! Luckily I am 30 miles from Baltimore, so my car came quick once released from the VPC-

It is not a base Burmeister, it is the MB Lite system and it is okay-not Burmeister quality like in my C63.

hey Cincy I live in Augusta (3 hours from Brunswick) last update I had was it’s awaiting a carrier to come pick it up. What’s the likelihood of it getting picked up at night or early morning and being dropped off at the dealer?
