What city does your car have to deliver to? I'm picking mine up in Long Beach which is just a half days drive from the port.

I bet they get the cars unloaded pretty quickly. I've seen these guys work dropping off cars at the local dealership. They get paid per delivery, not by hour :-)

My M550i sat at the VPC for 10 days. Was supposed to pick it up 11/24.
It was finally dispatched from the VPC today scheduled for delivery to the dealer 11/28 and I'll pick it up Thursday 😎 |

I'm telling myself that they just took the long way around a storm to avoid any bumps and bruises. |

Not looking forward to the torture of seeing it on land in the states but not having the keys in hand

There are a number of reasons for it to be delayed at the VDC. Here is a good read as to what happens there:
https://www.e90post.com/vpc/index.asp.htm My car is on a slow ship headed to BALTIMORE. Arriving 12/8. Just in time for Christmas.

I believe it depends on the truck transport scheduled. The trucks will not deliver a single car at a a time and need to be fully loaded with cars going to the same geography. My car sat for a few extra days for the 45 minute drive to the dealer while it waited for more cars to load to take there and nearby dealers.

Nice, looks like I'm still on schedule to port with the ship about 100 miles north of its expected course. About 9 hours to go 150 miles.

My ship has still not reached Baltimore, despite showing scheduled on the 26th. They've been anchored out in the Chesapeake Bay for the last day and a half...
