Edit: Got the car :) From Baltimore port to Arlington VA???

Hi guys.

My car discharged to Baltimore port on September 19th. How long will it take to get the car Arlington VA? My dealer told me that it is possible to pick it up on monday, is it correct? or will it take more than a week?


Edit: It just got to the dealer guys... I am very happy and excited.... It only took 5 days

Wasn't your ship set to arrive to Baltimore on the 19th? Usually you need a couple of days for it to go through customs and the at lease a couple of days at VPC - then it is released to trucking to be transported to the dealer. Did the go through customs and VPC in just a couple of days? That would be great and probably a new record but I would check with the dealer to make sure.

Mine arrived at Brunswick on the 14th then it went through customs and VPC and was release to trucking to come to the local dealer Friday the 21st. It is currently on a truck set to arrive to the dealer tomorrow/Monday. I am about 500 miles from the port FYI and we are kind of last stop for the truck - else I would have had it yesterday.

All I know is my dealer told me that it is possible to get the car this weekend but I don`t think that would be that much quick. When I check it, all I get is this:

LINER RELEASE BALTIMORE, MD 20-09-2012 16:45:17
CUSTOMS RELEASE WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ 20-09-2012 00:00:00
DISCHARGED BALTIMORE, MD 19-09-2012 13:00:00 1

so how do we know the custom already cleared? and can we check if the car on truck or not?

From my experience with BMW EDs it looks like it has cleared customs and went to VPC on Thursday. So if it went through VPC super fast it is possible that it is on a truck. Your customs release was also amazingly fast! In any case after this only your dealer can tell and they can see if it is on a truck. Looks like you are going for a new redelivery record!

Great color - same with mine I just picked it up this evening too. 5 weeks and two days for me with a Paris drop off. I was expecting more so happy here too! BTW if you try to program the garage door opener the manual is completely wrong - I would search for instructions online! Doing that now, removing the front plate and installing some bumper plugs.
