How much time added to delivery for non-Munich/Germany drop-off?

volkl23 · 08-09-2014, 08:40 PM

For those that have done ED AND dropped off at a location other than in German, how much extra time was added for transportation to the states on top of the 6-8 weeks for East Coast and 8-10 weeks for West Coast?

I'm set to drop off the car on October 1st in Nice, France and was planning to do the PDC. I wonder if I would be able to take delivery before Christmas.

Might be affected by weather, but I would not be surprised if it came in by thanksgiving. But PDC is trickey, you need to build in 2 weeks; I would contact PDC and the ED folks on this one. I should think the early Dec would be feasible. Let us know how it turns out.

Fastest drop off is Bremerhaven, of course.

Just did 2 ED's at the same time. Dropped off one car in Munich and the other in Nice. Appeared to add about 10-12 days additional as compared to the Munich drop-off, but there are many variables that could change the timing one way or another.

Hope this helps.

I dropped off in Antwerp, got on a boat 20 days later. YMMV.

I dropped off the car in Antwerp on July 18, still waiting for a boat.

I think bottom line is that there are so many variables and that it'll come when it does! I'll enjoy my European trip in the mean time.

Stressdoc - when is your delivery date? I'm set for a September 25th delivery. Can't wait!
