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?

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.
