Cargo tracking your smart

[PassionforPassionCT]

Perusing through the thread, I saw that you can track by booking number and decided to check out whats on the Fidelio. 147 cars to be delivered. A fairly equal split of Coupe/Cabrio. Most vins are in the Late 157,000 to 161,000 range, except for a Cabrio with a vin of 147,967 and another cabrio with 148,975. (Looks like they must have missed their rides before )
The ship is about to dock in Halifax this evening, it seems only for a couple hours acording to schedule.

Is the booking number the same as the VIN?

[rawlus®]

no. the VIN is the Cargo ID# on the WW site.

Well it looks like the ship has left Halifax but current position isnt available on any site.

My dealer tells me they don't find out the vin until 30 days before it arrives. How are people finding out their vin?

Dealer provided upon request at about the 35 day out point. No help for tracking for me. Apparently can't be done for deliveries arriving in Long Beach, CA
