Default Finally being released from the port

My Avus/black baby is supposed to be released next week from the port in NJ. The papers I just got show the production week as 7/10/06...!!
Can anyone give me an idea how long the car has actually been at the port and is that a normal delay? Should I worry?
Thanks,
Anxiously waiting outside the delivery room,

not worry, 2-3 weeks holding at the port is normal.

Default Des Germans display their legendary efficiency by building my car a month ahead of schedule...

... so that American bureaucratic inefficiency can throw a wet blanket on the fire by stalling the car at port for another month. Very sad! Doesn't Audiusa realize they are the broken link in the chain, or perhaps they just don't care?

Hope my car was released from port along with yours...

Default any reason to be concerned with the tech issues addressed at port?

wouldn't be better to address these changes at the factory?
