My experience with Wilsonville MB was similar to Mr J's. I ordered an EDP car in January, after a few hiccups with factory shortages in Germany, I picked up my GLC300 May 5th. With each hiccup, the SA was right on top of it. I was notified immediately and the options to resolve the problem was explained. At no time was my order canceled by the factory because a build option wasn't available. Canceling the order does not make any sense.

Does anyone know how long does it take for the vehicle to be assigned to a ship. I didn't go for a custom order but instead chose the GLC 300 that is already built, because it matches 95% of what I want. So I thought why wait another 2 or 3 months for the custom order. The car's built on Dec 8 and the dealer says it's still waiting for a ship. Does it really take this long?

The time a car sits at the dock in Germany seems to vary. My EDP car sat at the dock for 2 weeks before it was loaded onto a ship. Other cars on this thread have only sat a day or two before getting loaded onto a ship. Once you know what ship it has been assigned to you can track the schedule on line. If it is a MOL Auto Car Carrier you can track the schedule here: http://www.molroro.com/MOLVesselSchedule.aspx. Other carriers have their own web site where you may be able to find the schedule.

United has a co-promo with Mercedes that offers their members discounts and/or miles which I do believe vary depending on United status level. As a Platinum, the current incentive on GLC SUV is $1500 discount plus 25000 miles. More info here: https://unitedpremier.truecar.com/me...=ZUNI000023142 The good news is that this discount is given upfront by the dealer and is on top of whatever you negotiate.
Car was 2018 GLC300W, Diamond Silver, Advanced Lighting Package, Multimedia Package, Advanced Parking Assist Package, Premium Driver Assistance Package. MSRP $50305.

The other question is was your build made priority one after the dealer put your name on it. If not, it could take longer to get to you.

I order a car in early November and got a build date of December 8. As of two days ago, it was still sitting at the dock (B8 - assigned to a ship). I, actually, got impatient and went to the dealership because I was wanting to give in and buy something off the lot. My dealer talked me off the ledge and reasoned that a lot of the wait even on priority one vehicles has to do with the holiday. I looked online at the vessel schedule from Bremerhaven and it looked like there was a vehicle carrier leaving yesterday headed for Long Beach. Not sure where you live rk9, but that is a possibility.

I just took delivery of diamond silver last night. It's an incredible color! My car was the first I've seen, Since I ordered it, none of the dealers near me had any car in that color. I'll need to take more pictures because the camera is not showing the blue or dark silver tones. Down below it looks like straight silver. It's a bit of a chameleon. It looks silver, bright silver, dark silver, and silver with light blue, depending on the light.
I also got the premium driver assist package, parking assist, burrmeister, panorama roof, and advanced lighting. The adaptive lighting package so far is one of the features I'm most excited about. I took some curves at night last night and the light bending was awesome!
I was also tickled with the distronic + steering assist. Ive driven a car with distronic before, but not with the steering assist. The distronic also works so much better than my SO's 2012 AMG.
. I ended up buying instead of leasing. I have to admit its a different feeling knowing it's purchased.

Mine left Germany headed for Long Beach on 11/30. It was at Long Beach by 12/21 and waited for the trucking company several days (through Xmas holiday). It arrived at dealer 12/29 at night. It was set up today for me but I’m not at home this weekend! I hope I’ll be home in time to see her tomorrow.
Now just waiting for it to make the long journey to Portland, SA said it would be shipped here by rail, but I read somewhere that all shipments out of the LB VPC are by truck.
Your truck part of the trip didn't take long. Are you located close to LB?

My EDP GLC300 also took 1 month to make the long journey from Bremerhaven to LB, then another 11 days to make it from LB to Wilsonville MB. Hopefully your long wait will be over any day now.
