Default How long did your 911 sit at the German port?

It looks like mine will be 3 to 4 weeks at least. Is this pretty standard?

It seems faster than some other posters on this topic. Mine got there 2 weeks before the next ship to the west coast but sat there another 4 weeks waiting for the next one. I guess it depends on destination (east vs west coast) as well as what sort of backlog there is

For those of us on the west coast, we are probably affected by the backup at the Panama Canal. They have a drought and many ships are backed up in the gulf trying to get through.

About 2 weeks. Arrived at the port 06-21, left for the West Coast on 07-06.

41 days - arrived at the port 5/25, left port 7/5.

Note that the dates in TYD are worthless at that stage in the process - mine changed multiple times before I got on a boat. So once you're at the port, ignore TYD and just hope for the best. Once it's on the boat the TYD dates start to get sort of close to reality (still a lot of wiggle room, but closer).

About 5 - 7 days for me I think. I tracked it with an AirTag since I did ED but it sounds like it’s a crap shoot on how long it stays - assuming nothing needs to be done to it.

That was a smart thing to do. Had to add to the fun.

My car arrived at the port on 4-24-23, and left Emden one day later (4-25-23). I know I was very lucky with this timing.

2 weeks at Emden for mine. That was pretty quick compared to most. Some folks waited months.

For those of us who took delivery in 2019, we got to enjoy a nice long wait at the US port. 😜
