Grand Venus Roll Call Thread

Hey guys,

Today has been quite frustrating. I dropped off my car on March 9th @ TT Car Transit in Nice, France. According to the drop-off agent, I will get an email within 5 business days regarding the status of the vehicle. I did not.

Then, I sent out an email to info@ttnice.com inquiring the status of the shipment. They copied EH Harms and forwarded the request. EH Harms said it will take upto 2 weeks for the vehicle to get a vessel assignment. I sent them an email again and no response from them.

I tried tracking the car using VIN# on the following links:

https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...uickSearchPage

https://eurodelivery.ehharms.com/edts/ehharms/

No luck so far I called BMW NA and my client adviser - they didn't know anything. Dealer says that they won't know anything about the car until it arrives at the dealership. Is that true or the dealer is just misinformed?

Thanks and would appreciate any inputs in this matter.

Hope you've heard from them by now. If anything you may want to contact them directly by telephone if possible and see if that produces any new information.

Good luck.

You'll have to ask your CA, they can see this in their system

Phone the Captain and ask him to below decks and check. Be sure to stay on the line while he does it though!

Well. I guess I didn't make it on the Grand Venus. Hopefully I'll get on the next one. Been waiting on a boat for 2 weeks now. Good luck guys!

My E92 M3 arrived in PT H on 4/24 as well, I havent heard a peep about it since, must still be in customs. They must have found a drug cache and severed head to be keeping it there for so long.

Maybe your specific car is held up? Possibly shipping damage? If you're in Irvine, that's only a few hours from Port Hueneme. Enthropic Artist already got his car off that boat. And he's in AZ.
