Once at Port, how long?

My ship is due to arrive at the Baltimore port on 10-25. How long does it take to get to the dealership at that point? My SA said it could take about a week once its docked.

Honestly I’d say 2-4 days. SAs always rather give a longer estimate so it looks better when it comes early. The old “lower their expectations”

It's a crapshoot. Anywhere from 1 day to a week or more. Really no one knows but priority 1 (customer sold) cars do go more quickly. I'd say 2-4 days is an accurate estimate.

he's in Pittsburgh, that's a drive from Baltiomore. Needs to get off and get checked through VPC, get on a delivery truck and go from there. I'd say 4 days at the minimum.

Mine has been at the Brunswick port for 10 days and counting. CA showed me it has been released to the carrier but he does not have an ETA.

So the DGH finally made it to port yesterday morning. No action yesterday and today, they are finally unloading all the vehicles... Called BMW and they still shows "In Transit" and they still thinks my car is traveling to Port Galveston.

I've seen 1 day and I've seen two weeks. I believe that if there is minor damage in transit, it gets fixed at VPC.

I hope no minor damage on my car...That sounds crappy. That's a really wide range. 1 day to 2 weeks.

I stand corrected on my initial answer 😅 my car hit port 10/21 and talked to my SA and looking like 10/30 delivery. Apparently they like staring at all of our cars at the port for awhile before shipping them out.

Actually, Do we know if a campaign is waiting to be completed at the VPC for M4Cs once the cars arrive to US ports ?
