Depends

Depends on the dealer, some can get things quicker than others. If they are close they can even go by and pick the car up.

My mom's E350 took about a week from the dock in LA to the dealer in Stockton...

Perhaps because of the holidays it's taking longer. It did arrive at LA VPC on the 18th with a dealer priority on it. I'm hoping to get it this week. I ordered in Oct.
I'm ready to drive it!
Happy Holidays to everyone.

I have seen it take up to two weeks. The Holiday time really has nothing to do with it but year-end does.

The dealer will get the car this week. They go out of their way get all cars out by year-end to make the numbers.

I remember when I was getting my car at the end of the year here in California they actually dropped the car off in Baltimore and put it on a train in order to get it to me by year end.

Best of luck and Happy New Year.
