Aprox. Shipping time Bremerhaven to SoCal?

PKL · 09-10-2011, 09:45 PM

Can someone with knowledge tell me how long it took a boat with your new car to get to SoCal from Europe?

LOL probably a few months, if not more.

That is not correct. Thanks though.

Been tracking the ship that my car is on (similar specs as yours) and seems like it takes about almost 29-30 days.

About 22 - 26 days, once it gets on a ship. Some older ships are a bit slower than the newer ones. Mine took 22 days from Bremerhaven to Oxnard (Thursday, Aug. 4 - Friday, Aug. 26.) It arrived at my dealer in San Diego on Tuesday, 8/30.

Once the ship sailed, mine was 22 days.

Just to be clear, 22 days until the ship arrived to port here in the US, or 22 days until the car was at your dealer? I'm sure it has to be the former, right?

I guess I would be pretty happy with 3 weeks boating time, I was really thinking it was going to take 30 days. 3 weeks is still rough, I'm not going to have my car when I wanted to

It was 22 days to the port at Oxnard. The ship docked on a Saturday and the car was at the dealer on Wednesday.
