Anyone else on this vessel? Where does the car clear customs if I'm doing PCD and how long can it take to clear? I'm doing PCD Nov 4th and just wanted to make sure the car will be there, since the ship is due to arrive Oct 21st.

My car cleared customs in less than a day it seems, it was in NJ. Drop off was in Brunswick.

My car is on the same vessel and I am doing PCD same day as you. I have confirmation from both PCD and CA that the car will be there on time without an issue and that travel arrangement can now be made...
What are you doing for protecting your car for the ride home OAM? Trakk Tape? Blue Tape?

Yup, I bought the large 6 inch roll of Trakk Tape. It's going to be a pain in the ass to haul it down with me but it'll be worth it. I was planning on trying to get my PCD date pushed up, but I think that may be cutting it too close. I may still try though, but if not I'll be sure to say hello when I'm down there.

Sounds good. See you there in case you are not able to move your PCD date.

Son of a .... !!!

My CA just found out that my BSM is on the Florida Highway as well.

I've been bitching and moaning to everyone about how my car is still sitting on a cold, wet dock in Bremerhaven when it's actually been en route since the 4th!

w00t!
