This was blessedly much faster than I have experienced in the past.
The frustration begins while waiting for assignment to, and loading aboard a ship. It's a virtual lottery, and could happen in a few days or a few weeks with no info available in the interim. Info will not become available until a couple of days after the ship has been loaded, and departed Bremerhaven. There is a ship sailing today that is destined for my port of delivery (Brunswick, GA), so I am hoping for the best. If not, then my next possibility will be on 3/22 with others on 3/24 and 3/25. Like I said - frustration.

I think it gets worse after the ship departs and docks and now you are in import limbo waiting for the customs folks to inspect and pass your vehicle... for it to load onto a truck to deliver. In the mean time you come to the conclusion your car has been tied down to a deck of a ship that’s thrashing about in open seas, hoping nothing happens to your car since it left pristine from the factory while knowing at least 5 different hands have touched it, up the ramp...down the ramp... onto a tractor trailer off of it, weather elements in tow. Anyone else have anxiety?  |
My vessel is currently near the Dominican Republic and I'm nervous the ship crew is gonna take a relaxing vacay there :seesaw:
