Default How long once car is at port?

My car arrived at the port of Houston last Monday (8/7) and still no word. Can the car just sit there until they fill up a truck headed towards Colorado?

Default 2.5 weeks from arrival at port to delivery in our case.

The car sat on a truck at port for a week because there was no driver due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Default mine was there for about about a week.

my dealership is in Houston, and the salesman went to the port and picked up the car...it was never put on a truck. you might be able to work out a similar thing if your dealership is willing to trade with one of the Houston dealers...then just fly there and drive the car back. that would probably be the quickest way to get it.

once the car is released, it could take 2 weeks to get to you. IIRC, larryV's car took about that long to get from Houston to Chicago, which seems really strange.

Default When my first B5 S4 came..it sat at port for 5 weeks..

I have heard of cars being in port for over 8 weeks...expect the worse..and when it comes in sooner..you will be jazzed.
