My car arrived in LA from Florida in the first week of December and went straight to the shipping yard ,where it has been sitting for nearly 8 weeks awaiting the slow boat to Freo. Can anyone tell me ,is this an unusally long delay? as i am growing very impatient. Was told before xmas they are waiting on one more car for the container.Fair enough. The car arrives with no title ,hence no shipping. Has anyone else had hold ups with there shipping or am i just being unreasonable? Where to next?
Unfortunately it is the luck of the draw. I would imagine not too much goes to WA from LA that has a "shared" container space. That is the issue.
I have been organising cars out of NorCal since early Dec & with one thing after another, the container will be loaded mid Feb. So I know those who own cars that I am packing are just as keen to see them. It was a title that held up this container, along with back ordered Mustang parts. Gave everybody time to get extra so that was not all bad. Also the import duty will be cheaper as it was reduced from Jan 1st.
If they are organising a CA title for the car, it can take up to 6 weeks to appear, as state workers are forced to work a 4 day week because of no state money, so its a go slow.
