How Long at MB Vehicle Processing Center?

My car was delivered to the VPC on Friday. Does anyone have an idea how long it takes MB to process cars and get them on a truck carrier?

The Carson, CA VPC takes about a week. The Jacksonville, FL facility should be about the same.

When my saleslady called me about my car's arrival, she estimated 1 week at the VPC. It actually ended up to be 3 days there so I got my car a couple days sooner than they expected.

My E500 arrived in Jacksonville on Friday, and I picked it up at the dealer's in Dallas the following Monday. My E320 took about a week.

We'll have to see if mine runs a week behind yours. I dropped off on 12/3, and haven't heard anything yet about arrival dates on the ship.

I emailed the Bremerhaven facility:

HHVierow@mail.EHHarms.de

and received the ship name and arrival date. As a follow up, I emailed JaxPort and was told the date and time the ship would dock. The car cleared customs from the ship.

I should have some further details today.

2005 E320 CDI, Nav, Harmon Kardon, full leather, sport seats, fold down rear seat, light package,
Just got mine yesterday, and it took about 7 days at the center to be loaded up and delivered. The trucks run 24/7 so could be earlier. Wish you the best with it
