Wow, that's a quick turnaround from arriving at the port. Make sure you introduce the car once you take delivery!

This is my first ordered car btw so new to this. Plus does anyone know how long it takes from the boat to the east coast? Thanks

Mine has been Ready for transport since 9/2. So that's 19 days now....if it usually takes 2-3 weeks, hopefully I see an update by Wednesday, which would mark 3 full weeks. I'm slowly dying inside at how long this process has taken. #firstworldproblems

Two factors when determining time to port delivery on east coast. Although I have not experienced this first part, the boat could start on north and head south to all ports.. or as mine did, south heading north. Mine left Mexico on Sept 3rd and arrived in Baltimore on the 16th... had 6 port stops in between.

Then I really hope to see an update on my car in the next 3 days. Wednesday marks 3 weeks since it entered Ready for transport. Looking forward to seeing your (and others on this thread) car once it arrives!

So as BLG said it's usually about 2-3 weeks unless you get lucky. My car was also on the boat with BLG and my car reached the NJ/NYC port on the 18th, also each port stop the boat makes it usually sits at that port for a full day

Same boat as you, somewhat..still waiting for an update from Ready for transit, though.

If you got lucky your car might as well be on the same boat as the majority of us who's waiting for a carrier assignment. Hopefully there'll be an update on the progress before next week so that it's possible for us to take delivery at the end of this month or at the beginning of October but who knows

Sounds like our cars will be travel buddies. I'm fine with taking delivery at the beginning of October, but don't know if that's realistic until I see my car in transit. Brutal.

But yeah hopefully I am on the next ship with you! My order was placed on August 28th so I feel like I am in pretty good shape time wise so far and hopefully stays that way haha

Good luck, man! Fingers crossed.
