hope anyone can shed some light please!

It only takes 18 - 19 days to get to Melbourne so your car isn't on the boat yet.

But prepare for possible delay as my boat got stuck in Townsville anchored just outside the port for 5 days before there was a spot for it to dock and I saw my delivery date slipped helplessly. I hope the docks will become less congested as all the cargo for christmas had already landed and cleared by the time your boat arrives.

Your salesperson can confirm with you which boat your car is on once your status changed to in transit to Australia.

I bet your car is on the boat scheduled to leave japan on 29th

Given 24th is Monday, the last real business day is 21st. I doubted it will make it before Christmas.

How did you know your car had an 'off the line' date of 23rd Nov?
My car changed to 'in production' the day before, so if I get it before Christmas, that would be freaking awesome.

dnjshin0bi and I ordered our cars from the same person so mine will be very good indication to his.

My car landed last Friday 23/11. My scheduled delivery date is 3/12 at this stage. So it takes about 10 days from port to delivery
