A few of us (NoGaBiker, etc.) are landing in Brunswick this morning and disembarking the Horizon Highway. Unless my trailer hitch mount (not the full towing package) is to be port-installed, everything else is to be done at the dealership. Anyone have a guestimate on how long they sit around in the port processing center before heading out on a truck?

Build was 5/13, left Southampton 6/9 and arriving east coast today...

No idea these days, but I picked up my last Brunswick car in Atlanta 7 calendar days after the ship docked. That was in 2015.

Mine was at the port in Brunswick for 4 days, one was a holiday though so that may have added a day.

My build was 5/24 and was probably loaded on ship in the last couple days or so before setting sail today, 6/21. So that means it was probably in staging the last couple weeks waiting for its LR sibs and cousins. After a couple stops in Baltimore and Panama, ETA to Port Hueneme, CA is July ~15, and perhaps within a week after port it will be at my SoCal Land Rover dealership. YaY!

Order finalized on 3/25/21
Order locked on 4/25/21
Built on 5/13/21
loaded on a ship in Southampton on 6/9/21

Large screen and no port installed accessories... all to be either dealer or self-installed. All were ordered early by my salesman and are waiting in parts at dealer.

Thanks for the info! I have a V8 that just arrived in Baltimore. Dealer outside of Philadelphia is indicating it will be ready for pickup on 7/9.

I have had the order in since mid march (swapped from my original order from an HSE beginning of February).

What an experience....
Last week I commented that my build was pushed back six weeks. With that delay the last date to change was moved to today. At the end of last week I tried to make some changes since I had that opportunity again. My sales rep is pretty bad at getting back to me. After four messages left for him he finally got back to me today and told me that since he last communicated with me last week, the build date got moved up three weeks and that the cut off date for changes also moved up three weeks. So good news bad news...its now a net 3 weeks late from the original time frame but I didnt get to make the changes...not really that big of a deal I suppose.
