My S4 came into Houston June 4th and was delivered to my dealer in Salt Lake City three weeks later. US Customs held my car for two full weeks, possibly due to it being a European Delivery vehicle that I had driven for 10 days in Europe prior to drop off in Paris. Once it cleared Customs it took one week to arrive in Salt Lake.

According to my dealer, mine is on the same ship, arriving in Houston on 7/12. Counting the days!

When did he say you will have it? You think it will only be a week after it hits port?

Not sure if my particular timeline will be helpful here but I ordered from Carousel last year and, if I recall correctly, the port information had an August 6 date on it, official pricing was released on Friday August 15th, and the car arrived in Minnesota on Saturday August 16th.

Given the first model year and pricing was released on the 15th the car was likely held at port for a week before being released but that's all speculation.

With all that being said, congrats...it's an awesome car and it will be great to have another here in Minneapolis!

Hmmm.. I just got a order sheet emailed to me from my dealer, it's on the 7/2 boat with a port arrival date ETA in Huston of 7/18. Then it states that the ETA for dealer delivery is 8/16.. Really? A month to get from Texas to Colorado? Seems a tad too long.

They historically low ball that estimate. Mine hit Houston and was in Seattle in 5 days.
