My dealer has just advised my car has arrived at a German port and believes it will take 2-3 weeks to get to them. I ordered on 16th September 2017.

Any sign of your car MeteorSQ5?

Spoke with my dealer today as it has now been 9 days since landing in the UK and 7 days since there transfer request was put in.

I am scheduled to be loaded and delivered tomorrow arriving at the dealership at 15:00.
Requested to go in tomorrow and sort paperwork and organise pick up day.
Happy days.

Well the time has come, car has been delivered to the dealer and at 09:45 on Saturday morning I break my streak.
After owning every edition and facelift of the Audi A6 range from when it was an Audi 100, I am moving over to test the water with a New Q5 S-Line.
I feel like a kid again with 2 sleeps left till Christmas.

So I've been monitoring the ships in and out of Veracruz using this site:

According to the schedule attached I'm hoping my car will be on one of the first two boats...

Here's the view of the RoRo ship in port:

Got a call from my dealer saying my car arrived in Emden last Friday. Hopefully will be on a ship to the UK. Not sure which port it will be going into.

Depends on which part of the UK your dealer is in. If you are south of Northampton I would guess Sheerness. Tyne for northern England/Scotland and Grimsby for everywhere in between.

So dealer is near Reading, so I'm guessing Sheerness. Although he did say it would be another 3 weeks till the car comes. Not sure how long it sits at the port in U.K.

This was my experience:

23 assembly updated 29th July
24 quality control updated 31st July
30 has left the factory updated 26th September
38 at port awaiting shipping to U.K. 27th October
39 on the boat to the UK 28th October
40 in the U.K. 31st October
60 in transit to dealers 2nd November
70 At dealers 4th November

So just over a week from leaving Emden (status 38) to getting to the dealer

@Mjr2004 your timeline is interesting. My QC to left factory gap was only 7 days. Hoping my shipping times match yours!

Well they didn't do much QC with mine but it was there for ages. I think by now they will have sped up the QC time. Once it leaves the factory I think the times should be fairly accurate.

I'm at order status 38. Car reached Emden last Friday. So a week at Emden and still not left. I wonder if Easter will have an impact.

It appears that they do some checking at Emden. Easter will definitely have slowed things a bit.
