Tracking beyond shipping discharge

Car off the boat.

Is there a way to continue tracking from shipping discharge through to dealer?

My dealer is telling me delivery will be 2-3 weeks after it docks. As mine arrives on the 30/4, I'm mentally preparing for the 18th May but hope to be in it earlier.

Ouch 20 days! I would be getting pretty annoyed by then.

Correct ... exactly what I've been told. They have no control over customs which could take a week or more.

Organised Crime and the Communists/Unions control all Australian docks. wait as long as they decide and pay what they decide.

Great stuff ..... so how many days after shipping discharge does this make? Did you have to put any presure on the dealer to get it to you ASAP.

My newby is scheduled to dock on the 30/04 and I'm hoping to be driving it by the 12th May.

Enjoy....
