Ship Question

musv · 10-12-2007, 02:28 PM

So what happens if a ship arrives at the port ahead of schedule? Do they just go ahead and unload it, or does it have to sit there and wait?

I guess a bit of wishful thinking!

They will unload it ahead of schedule as well.

Actually, they will unload and move it quick, as long as there are no issues to fix at the VPC and no issues through customs. From past deliveries, they usually are ahead of the schedule they orginally mentioned, but sometimes that's not the case. They operate FIFO.

thanks for the info! I wish mine was ahead of schedule. there were some hold ups during production I think. My original estimate that I was given was 5 weeks, if I get the car on the 25th, that'll be 9.5 weeks

oh well. oh well, I guess that is longer I wait to start paying for it too.
