Transport times for Scion's.
My dealer just notified me that my car is in the country.
My question is how long will it take to get out of the port and accross country to Ohio?
How long must I wait. I have been waiting for a month now.

mine took approximentely 8 days from the time it hit the port on July 3rd till July 11th when it arrived from the dealership...
it came from the Newark port i guess on the east coast and u are in ohio so it wouldnt be that much more time for you i would suppose....
so hopefully u will get it soon....i was counting days till i got mine i could not wait...

My dealer called me on Friday (07/16) and told me that it would be there in 7-10 days. Does this mean that it's in the country already and just needs to be delivered?
oooohh...I'm so excited!!! :D

Yes...
the vessel and its cargo needs to be cleared by U.S. customs before release. There are about few thousand vehicles on a vessel ... so it is very time consuming. Approx time of release ranges from 5 days up to 15 days. But avg about 10days to clear. Once that's done, the allocation begins...so if your vehicle is in the later allocation...the delivery process will take abit more.
It is my understanding tha most Scions are being cleared here at Long Beach Port in Los Angeles.

I ordered mine 3.5 weeks ago. It was supposed to be in the third week but the dealer guy said it was still in the port a week ago, and said it'll probably be another couple weeks now...go figure. :?

Hmmm...I guess "7 to 10 days" is the standard answer for Scion's in transit because that's exactly what my dealership told me yesterday when I called. And I was thinking, "Port of Long Beach to SF Bay Area = 8 hours. Transit time = 7-10 days. How does that add up?" Now I know!
Anyway, he did hint that it "might" drop in as little as 2 days, which didn't really fit into his 7-10 days story. I'm just setting my hopes on this weekend to avoid being disappointed for the millionth time.

I have no pitty for you people having to wait 2 or 3 weeks. I waited for 4 months to get mine! Ordered it March 17th. Finally got it July 14th. It wont kill you to wait more than a week or two. (didn't mean to sound rude, but sheesh!)

Anyway, you understand the slow burn from watching so many other people get their tC's within days (or even on the same day for the lucky ones) while you waited at least a few weeks for yours. So show some pity on the people who were in the same boat you were less than a week ago!

waiting is worse when you don't have a car ... like me.
i'm getting ride to my work and stuck at home most of the time cuz i have no car. patiently waiting for my means of travel.

I completely agree. I guess that's why I don't really mind waiting until my new car arrives. I still have something to drive to work. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have a car to drive.
Wait...I did that and it sucked having to get a ride everyday. I really feel for you. Hopefully the wait won't be much longer.
