This kind of reminds me that I like the beef but I do not want a tour of the packing plant.

Tiddy,
Dealer emailed my VIN today. Great news! Registered on TOPIx and had a look. That's a pretty cool informative site.
Only thing is dealer said it's built and sitting in a yard waiting to be loaded on a ship, so I went on the ocean transport site you have listed and tried it out as you have said and it's telling me it is on it's second ship and due into Melbourne on the 19th of May. 17 days away? Obviously we have a bit of time from Melbourne to Darwin and then the dealer has to tint the windows, but I was expecting 11 weeks from today for collection as indicated by the dealer. How long do you reckon from Port of call to dealer? Customs and all?
