Vaboy,
I originally intended to make it a new post, but couldn't figure out how to do it. I thought I saw a message that I was only allowed to post replies.

Here's my answer. Let me know if you get this.

Tbro, be sure and get the production/shipping statuses that Netstar (the MB order system) uses a page or two back in the Waiting Room thread. My car was produced 6/10. Was at port, no ship assigned 6/17. Ship was assigned 6/20. Was on the water 6/22. Your dealer can give you the specific status from Netstar and you can stay on top of it. Once the ship is assigned it will be in Netstar and it will also show the departure date. If your VIN has a V as th 11th digit, your car was assembled in the Valmet plant in Finland. It is sent by ship from there to Bremerhaven. The Netstar system doesn't pick up the ship name until it's in Bremerhaven waiting to leave for the US. Mine left Bremerhaven 6/22 and is arriving in Baltimore any minute now. 7/2/17.

Yo, how long did it take once the car was produced before the shipping process started? I'm getting way too excited. Got news the GLC is produced with a VIN and is sitting still waiting to be shipped, not yet assigned a ship. Just don't know how long I should expect to wait before getting that info. Thanks!
