No issues both iPhone and computer - been checking several times today as expecting my car to get onto the Asian King.

I did the opposite and pre-traded my car in July with my order. Worked for me as 1) I had a daily driver so just switched to that vehicle, 2) allowed me also to get the tax savings to a degree between purchased 992 price and trade in (some state don't allow that though), and 3) I wanted to maximize value on my trade...waiting 6 mos or in some cases longer could mean the difference in dealer trade offer depending on a few unknown variables like the strength of the resale market in the future, inventory, etc...many things which are unpredictable. Would rather take a finite dollar amount now that made sense and was a good offer vs speculate 6-8 mos down the road. Final piece was didn't want anything to also happen to my trade mechanically or accident wise which could have then jeopardized my plans/deal/outlays. Also allowed me to devote those particular funds (going towards previous care) in gas, car note, insurance, and maintenance for example to use for other means for about 6 mos which allowed other things around the household to be done ahead of schedule.

My 992 is on the 'ASIAN KING' as of today, expected to arrive at Jacksonville, FL by 12/17.... just in time for Christmas.

at 'expecting'. TYD notification of specific ship happens a few days before ship loads so if that hasn't happened it is a no go. I've been at port since 11/20 and no ship notification yet. I'm in zero hurry tho and not expecting an early load.

i question the validity of those dates frankly. My car is in the same boat. Has been sitting at the port since 11/18. I say this because that **** has been “moored” at port since it arrive at 1am yesterday. So, doubt they’ve loaded a few thousand cars, without docking, and will be on their way today.

Yeah, ship estimated dates and stops not super complete/accurate from the posted schedule...

I will keep a close eye on MarineTraffic.

Same here. I traded my GT350 in early November for an order arriving next year because the used car/trade market is (was) very good at the time. I got roughly the same in trade as I could get for a PP sale, plus nearly $3k in tax savings. I daily drive my F350 and the Shelby only had 4k miles on it, so its no real loss to have an empty spot for a few months.

Initially It was meant to be Asian King leaving on the third and Bishu Highway leaving on the 5th. As it turned out BH was in port days before and left yesterday and AK is meant to leave tomorrow. My TYD originally had me leaving on a boat on the 18th but last night was updated to leaving on AK (for Davisville) on the 5th. I am not sure if they switched routes or just dates, I am thrilled to be on the earlier boat but will wait to see that the step is completed before celebrating - that said my delivery date moved from 1/8/21 to 12/18/20. Lets just hope that Carb is over by then although I feel like an idiot saying that given the horrendous wait some of the forum members have had.

Same story for me. Got on the Asian King today, according to TYD. Two weeks ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, PEC Atlanta backed up. so I won't be able to pick it up until Feb. 2, unless an earlier date opens up.

Just departed EMDEN.

Same here! I heard today that some delays are expected in the port (for Non Carb states) due to COVID.... we'll see.

And made it on to ASIAN KING - Two weeks early. Hopefully should have it in my hands in NJ pre Christmas - CARB ALLOWING.

You should change your title to PATIENTGUY... I could not sit waiting for two months for a PEC pickup. I have to hand it to you I am just not that patient...

Well, I guess I was wrong. Pleasantly wrong😬😊
