How long from BREMERHAVEN to Bloomfield Hills dealer?

Does anyone have experience with tracking their SMART from loading at the Bremerhaven port to pick-up at the Bloomfield Hills dealership? Looking at other VIN's it seems its about a 10-11 day journey to America. Once its in Baltimore, is it a few weeks or a few days till I get it?

Thanks for any info you can provide. I look fwd to coming to a future meeting with my Yellow Bumblebee.

Laura

Mine had a build date of 02/08, I got it 03/06/08. Delivery times seem to vary greatly though.

Update on Delivery

My car arrived at the port of Baltimore on on June 9th. Samantha at SMART Bloomfield said it should be available to me the last week of June.

I can hardly wait!

Bremhaven?

Laura,

My Smart left bremhaven 10/23, by the looks of things it will be a two week boat ride to Baltimore. From Baltimore to Bloomfield Hills, I expect a week, I am probably looking at the middle of November or late November. All in all, it will have been a eleven month wait including the wait from my first siting in Berlin almost 9 years total. I tried using the tracking program that allows you to trak the ships movements but it is no longer a free site.
