Since the the third decade means day 21 to 30 after which it has to leave the factory and be shipped to the port, I don't see any way you would see it before mid-September which is pressing it. Why doesn't your salesman know all this?

When my car arrived at the Port of Long Beach, it had to go through the VPC and Customs and be trucked to Seattle which took about eight days total.

What you can do is find out the name of the ship once it's on the water and track it.
