Tracking my Octavia thread

Get your VIN and punch it in here as the "Cargo ID"

Awesome, Thanks Dzl.

daMama, how close is the shipping date to the ETA the dealer gave you? assuming a week or less to get it from Melbourne to the ACT.

Anyone know how long it takes for the car to clear customs, etc and turn up at the dealer? Just trying to work out if I will be taking delivery before or after our holiday in Nov......My dealer is away ATM, so cant ask him till next week.

LOL Opie! It was about 2 months out! The car was sitting at the dock for almost two weeks before it was loaded onto the ship. Its coming from Sydney. Is yours coming from Melb?

My wagon arrived at Port Kembla yesterday as scheduled... dealer says to allow roughly 10 working days for delivery.

Mine sat at the docks from 16/9 till 27/9 when it was loaded. Ship has gone to the UK, left and is now sailing across the north Atlantic towards Baltimore (out of tracking range).

Two weeks from landing to delivery is a pretty good estimate, that's what I've planned.

Oh hehe, I was just going off the schedule you posted and looked at the bottom. I only ordered my car two weeks ago so i don't think they have built it yet.

Give or take two weeks.

Looks like I won't be taking delivery of the car until the end of Nov as we're away for 2 weeks

Getting closer!

Mine left Panama 2 days ago......somewhere in the pacific ocean. Due into Brisbane 12/11. As much as i'd like to wait out the ship with a telephoto lens to take photos of my car coming off (like someone on VWW did for their audi!) i'm not that desperate.

Getting excited now! This time next month, we should have the car!
