Since most dealers are useless, I did my own research from the date the vehicle order status changed to 165 - pretty much checked all ships that set-off to Bremerhaven from 3 main ports in US, focusing on Charleston and bingo - located the only vehicles carrier, making it a no-brainer to safely assume my car is there
Thanks...you are so right about dealers....bloody useless; Its a case of the three F's
