Default shipping possibly delayed...may affect others...?

So, supposedly my S5's delivery to port (Savannah, GA) has slipped by 9 days (from Dec 13 to the 22nd)...AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!! The ship is called the "Athens Highway". Can anyone confirm this?

Here is the link for tracking all ships, current position and expected departures/arrivals:

Hmm. I got an email from my sales guy yesterday saying my A5 would be in port on the 13th, but he didn't say which port or which ship. I'm not sure if it's the same, but it seems likely given the date was the same. My original sales person (who no longer works there) told me Houston, I thought; if it's scheduled for the 13th in Houston it may be a different ship. I dunno. I was also told a few weeks back that my car would be at the dealership on the 20th, which seems like a stretch even if it *does* get into port on the 13th.

I don't actually see the info on that page for when it's expected to arrive anywhere -- I see where it is now, but not future stops. Where are you seeing that?

I was wondering this too. It looks like the ship is in Davisville, RI today so it will likely take over a week to offload everything and travel south.

The ships spend less than 24 hours in port (and usually less than 12). It is more likely that your car did not make it on that boat and has been delayed to a later boat.

Yeah...I noticed that one this morning too...found out on another forum that the name of the ship delivering on/around the 22nd is the "Bangkok Highway", which as of this moment, is on its way to the port in Germany (EMDEN).

As it turns out, my car is still supposed to be on the Athens Highway, which is scheduled to reach the port in Georgia today! *crossing fingers*
