How long has it been taking for cars to make it through the port and onto a transport to the dealership???

duk · 02-19-2009, 12:43 PM

1.5 weeks

2fast0 · 02-21-2009, 12:33 AM

my vehical was in transit and today i called
the 1800# said it's at the port awaiting a shipping vessel.............
i'm so confused. is it going back to germany??? anyone get this msg

ColoCane · 02-21-2009, 12:27 PM

2Fast0 -

One message just hasn't caught up with the other. Typically, the 1.800# is the more up to date (still a delay), but it could be perhaps that the website is going on the ship's scheduled departure, and for some reason, it's still in port loading. Don't sweat it. By Monday, I bet the messages line up.

2fast0 · 02-22-2009, 07:15 PM

no, the 1800 has been saying my vehicle is in transit for 2 weeks and today it changed to "at the port awaiting a shpping vessel."

URBAN LEGEND · 02-22-2009, 07:30 PM

Mine left Germany on the 10th of Feb and should arrive to New Jersey tomorrow. Anybody else waiting on the same ship?

That's weird, but I'd speak to a live person before getting anxious.

That's strange. Sounds like a glitch. Call the 1.800# and ask for a live person, or call your CA - they have better tracking capability than we do. Either way, a live person is in order...

dogears · 02-23-2009, 02:04 PM

Mine said that too when it arrived. The dealer called today to tell me it is there!

Don't worry. I think the message means waiting for car transport!

I lost the Fedora... It was supposed to get to Cali on 9.22, but I haven't been checking. It's not showing up on vesseltracker.com either. Anyone else have their M on this?

According to aislive (my free 1-week runs out tomorrow

), it was last seen at 10:57pm PST on 2/19, near the border of Guatemala and Mexico. It reported that its next stop was going to be Port Hueneme, which it estimated it would reach at 10:00pm PST tomorrow. The Port Hueneme schedule (which hasn't been updated in 10 days) also has it scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Jerktown · 02-24-2009, 10:51 AM

Here're the current locations of the HC and Fedora.

EDIT: Left image is HC.

lincoln · 02-24-2009, 12:01 PM

That's money, thanks for the info!

dogears · 02-24-2009, 01:32 PM

I got it! Lunchtime run to the dealer.... She is in my parking lot now! A real beaut. I purchased the 5 year wheel and tire protection btw. I got the forged 19s so I figured it was worth the piece of mind. Most of my cars have had 2 or 3 road hazard repairs in a 3 year period. This way I am covered for rim damage as well.

HC is docked, but in San Diego. It'll have to finish its business there and then motor to Port Hueneme. Fedora is docked at PH.
