Anyone's build beng finalized this week?
#181
No, seems to be as little as 10 days and up to about 13 - I am sure weather can play a role. I caught things right (keep your fingers crossed), my build was complete on March 5 and I may have keys in hand on March 30 - 25 days door to door. I will keep my fingers crossed for a short wait for you as well!

Sorry Gleek-old-boy, I truly am! You will have it soon enough. I am not counting my 991s before they hatch either. I am hopeful and I would think the end of the month and end of the quarter would be strong motive. I am buying dealer add ons-LoJack and built-in radar, I traded my car in 2 months ago, and I have already been approved if I decide not to buy the car outright - so, if they have the car to give me, they have a great motive to do it. We will see.
Well, the delay cost me! See this thread...

That's weird. I cannot track the ship on Marine Traffic. Is that how you found it?

You and I are on very parallel paths - my wife is considering the same SUV. But she wants to wait for the new small SUV. She is going to retire early and I promised her whatever she wanted when she does...thank g-d she does not like Lamborghini or Ferrari!

Did your dealers provide you with the ship name? Also, from the time it left port to the time it arrived, approximately how long did that take?
I am eagerly waiting pics of your cars!!

Newman ordered a cab that was delivered on the ship just before mine. I think his spent 13 days on the water. I don't know if that was because of weather, an earlier stop, such as in Halifax, or he is counting from official notice to official notice (10 actual days for me, 12 from notice to notice). So figure about two weeks to R.I.
Gerenb and I are optimistic of getting our cars, both coupes, at the end of the week. Newman's cab has been held up, possibly awaiting some arbitrary official release day in April. If you are waiting for a cab, this might or might not cause you a delay.
Yes, your dealer should have the name. Hope this helps and proves to be correct.

My understanding is that Porsche updates the system which shows which ship cars are on by Monday of each week.

For those that had their car on the Camellia Ace, what day did it port in Halifax? The Nippon Highway just landed there, and I'm trying to guesstimate how long it'll take to get to Houston.
#192
It did not stop in Halifax. Not all of them do. It stopped in Davisville R.I. On the 22d
#193
I was unaware of that, I thought they all made the same stops. Thank you very much for the info. How did you find out what ports the boat would stop at? Maybe the Nippon Highway will have a reduced number of stops as well.

What it did clearly suggest was that not every ship stops at every port - if memory served, it was about 1 per month for Halifax. Most, or at least many, based again on memory, stopped in Rhode Island and in Houston. Some stop also in Brunswick Georgia (the Camellia Ace did) and also in California. I have no idea how they found the schedule and it seems to be accurate - ish.
But if your car is made and you have a VIN number, I would be shocked if you had to wait more than another month, from door to door. Congratulations. What did you build?

I forgot to mention that I think it is about 7-10 days between R.I. and Houston. It is probably the lower end of the range if it does not stop in Ga. I would add a few more days from Halifax. But, of course, it is possible that it would go directly from Halifax to Houston. Hope you get it soon!
