Default Port to Dealer Timeframe

Car is unloaded at Brunswick port but dealer is showing 2 weeks before arrival. Is this a normal timeframe that you guys have experienced? Delivery in NC.
Thanks

All about lift truck availability and with the Barrett Jackson Auction in Scottsdale this week most all car trucks are booked.

I don't there is a normal time frame. It's unpredicatable. Some get their cars a few days later. Others have been stuck at port for several weeks...

that's a fact but not a reason.
pcna dropped the ball.
barret jackson happens same time each year. a major manufacturer doesn't know this and they do not contract transport way in advance....

btw, i have a 53' lift gate enclose transport hauling cars away from me tmo and friday. seems that i dont have problem finding xport?

My 2015 took a week to be released / PDI'd in Davisville. The transport from RI to NJ prob isn't comparable but once it was ready to be transported, that only took a day.

My car only took a few days get PDI'd and trucked to the dealer 10 miles from Davisville. The title, which is sent separately to the dealer, took an extra 3 days to arrive. Not a big deal. I'm very familair with waiting.

Mine arrived Davisville on 9/29. Chambers got the car 10/1. It was reloaded on Intercity Lines 10/4 and unloaded on Longboat Key 10/8; no complaints.
