How long from Dock to Dealer?

I'm sure it depends where in the country you are, but I was told last week that my replacement E500 would hit the dock in Baltimore this past Monday. My dealer is in Long Island N.Y. Best guess on when I should expect it?

The vehicle must clear customs first. Once assigned to a transport the car must be delivered to the dealership within 72 hours. I had a 7 working day wait for delivery the day I was told the car arrived in Baltimore.

I live about an hour from Baltimore and my car arrived at the dock yesterday. The dealer said it could be a week to ten days.

Usually no more than 2 weeks. I live in SF and when i order my car the car is arrive at Oakland which is only 1 hour drive. I got the car before 2 weeks. So you will get the car soon, congrats.

You can't judge by how far you are from the port alone. The car goes to a vehicle processing center for final testing and prep work. Some accessories are installed there. So, the time depends upon the length of time for processing, clearing customs and then delivery to your dealer.
