My phone status was behind by 4-5 days. Also found out it had left port a long while after it actually had!

Couldn't find a WW boat but it snuck on some NYK boat I had missed.

Called the genius hotline this morning. Surprised when they just answered the phone without any IVR. Nice!

Unfortunately the automated phone status is accurate. My car is still waiting at port for a vessel. Been there since 4/2.

Hang in there, 10-14 days seems pretty standard from what I've seen. Mine was there 12 days too.

It's also the worst part of the wait. It's just sitting there

Even worse is that I'm on the west coast in WA so they told me 4 weeks by boat to east coast, then a week to California then a few days to get to WA. I'm looking at like 5-6 weeks once it gets on a boat

It's a toss up.... Some cars destined for the West Coast take the K-Line headed to Australia, China, and then the West coast. That is faster if your car is Produced in South Africa.

If it's a German build, then yeah, sorry man....
