The dealer said three to nine days to get on a ship and a ten to fifteen day shipping transit, two to three days to deliver to the dealer, and one to four days at the dealers - soonest I get it is June 4, more realistic is the week of June 18 - in about a month!

So now it's June 8 and my car is still waiting to get put on a ship. This is getting frustrating!

Looking at the WW shipping, next ship leaving Durban is the Bess on June 14, arriving Bremerhaven July 5, shifting to the Talisman July 10 and arriving Galveston July 30. 18 weeks from my 21 March order date. The next MOL ship leaving Durban is the Genuine Ace on Jun 16 which will arrive Bremerhaven 11 July and Baltimore 23 July and Jacksonville, FL 26 July - which would be about the same with road transport to Houston, end of July. 18 weeks from order date. Original ETA from the CA was week of May 14! Only 8 weeks off!
