Default How long does a Defender sit after it is built to be put on a vessel?

My car shows it was built on May 13. How long will it typically sit before it gets loaded on a ship to the Eastern US?

Mine was built the same day as yours and being delivered to southeastern US (supposed delivery date of 7/16/21). There are quite a few of us on the forum with 5/13-5/14 build day! All the tracking I've done of other's experiences, show about 2 weeks from build to boat (average). So I'm thinking about checking with my SA this Friday for a boat name (fingers crossed).

Thanks.....Mine original eta was 7/9 and just learned that it was pushed back to 7/16 also! I guess our Defenders will be on the same boat! Let me know if you get a vessel name and I will do the same.

Mine was built 4/27 and just arrived in Baltimore (5/25)! Does anyone know whether they transport via train or truck, and any guesstimate how long to get to Texas?

Oh that's fast, mine was built 4/16, left production on 4/26 or thereabouts ... but no word on whether it's been put on a train/ship/aircraft lol

Do you know what the port on your order in Vista had listed? Mine is on the same boat (Sirius Highway), but in Vista it had 5/25 delivery at a different port.

Mine was out of production on 4/26. Hasn’t yet made to a ship yet … expecting delivery on 7/23
