March 2nd. But my dealer already had a vehicle in queue (ordered for the dealership) ... with the order modification window still open. Thus, I customized my order accordingly on that date.

Thanks,

The vehicle was actually a little further along than expected. It went out on the Goodwood (probably around 4/20 ... as it arrived in Emden on 4/16) and is scheduled to reach Houston dock on 5/10.

The time will vary. If the dealer is close to the port, it can be just a few days to a week. If further away, it can be as many as 2 weeks. You are correct, the time in port also varies depending on how long it takes to clear customs, if there are any port installed options or if they need to repair any damage from the ship.
