Mine took 11 weeks from drop-off to arrival at my dealer, however, the Christmas and new year holidays were part of that time.

Dropped our car off 10/25 in Munich. It reached Jacksonville port on Monday (we're in Florida). Emailed IFF after I tracked the ship having left Jacksonville. They told me the car has cleared customs and since their job is done, they won't have any more updates for me. They did advise it takes between 10 and 20 days for the car to be inspected for scratches, etc before being loaded on a truck bound for the dealership. Seems like an awfully long time.

I didn't mind the wait until the car hit US soil. Now I'm ready.

Yup. Mine arrived to San Diego on 19 November and is scheduled to leave there on 14 December - almost a month at port before its next trip (another boat to Honolulu)!

I dropped off my 2018 Q7 in Paris (Charles de Gaulle Airport) and it was delivered to my dealer in New Jersey about 7 weeks later. This was in September-November 2017.
