How to track the car you have ordered?

[Pauly]

What boat is it on? The boat my car is on arrives in Melbourne on 23/06.

It is on the TOSCANA. It has currently left the UK and is on its way to South Africa, then Australia. Where is yours at???

hi guys, just noticed when I track my car on the WW site it now comes up with delivered from as the status. I though discharged status would be the final stage for tracking on WW. since it is 4days after discharge, what does it mean?

Was curious of the statuses myself - mine moved to Discharged early this morning after the boat docked @ Melbourne. What other statuses will it go through before it enters the black hole of delivery to the dealer? Be nice to know exactly when it is on route to the dealer so I can keep him on his toes

Looking at the Track and Trace for my dad's CC, which was delivered to him in mid April, here are the relevant entries:

DELIVERED FROM PORT KEMBLA 29-03-2010 13:38:00
DISCHARGED PORT KEMBLA 24-03-2010 12:21:13
LINER RELEASE PORT KEMBLA 17-03-2010 07:22:45

So, after the car comes off the ship (Discharged), you just need to wait for "Delivered From", and that's it.

Thanks Adam.. I assume though that "Delivered" means delivered from port to customs rather than to dealer (or any transport co), since it only seems to take 4-5 days rather than the predicted 2 weeks.

Well, I'm not sure about the details. It may be held at the docks in customs, and "Delivered From" signifies it's cleared customs and is ready for compliance? From the docks I assume the car would go to a holding area before distribution to the dealer.

I'm sure one of the more-knowledgeable folk on here could shed light on it.

Not sure more knowledgeable, but my dealer sent me a note confirming my GTI had cleared customs/bond and arrived into Victorian Compound, where a checklist needs to be completed before coming to Adelaide. I assume she means the Patrick Auto compound as it was Patrick Auto who confirmed the details. This all happened on the day my Track & Trace showed "delivered from" that morning.

SO pretty much delievered from means it has cleared customs or has been sent through to customs? thanks guys

Apparently mine has been delayed another two weeks but with the vague nature of the date of end of May who knows? Starting from Start of May then changed to Middle of May. Why not just say May?

cameronp's car arrived on the same boat and went to the same dealer so go figure?
