Are the Themis' ports of call listed somewhere? I knew about Baltimore (BAL), but not about a stop in PA. Seems like that would be a pretty big backtrack from Baltimore. -scr
Sorry, mistook PA for the state. After Maryland it's Panama.

My CA told me when I asked that it could be anywhere from 2-4 days for the car to clear customs. With shipping to AZ from the California port, the car could be at the dealership by the of end of Sept or latest 1st week of October time frame. Again this is best guess.

Spoke to my SA today and said our m2's might actually make it to Oxnard a day or two early. Any truth to that?

I really don't know, I have been tracking it online and the THEMIS is due in Panama on the 16th. I don't know how long it will take to travel from Panama to Oxnard, but I am hoping it will be sooner than the 21st.

Originally, the Themis was scheduled to reach Oxnard/Port Hueneme on September 23. Now, a couple of members have heard from their CAs that the arrival date will be September 21, which is 2 days earlier than planned. So, perhaps this is what your SA was referring to? -scr

I made the ship. It should arrive in Southern California on Sept 23. Hopefully, I will have it the 1st or 2nd week in October. I just hope it doesn't have the defective disc in the differential.

The CA's for a couple of other members informed them that the Themis was scheduled to arrive in Oxnard on the 21st, i.e., 2 days earlier than originally scheduled. Check replies earlier in this thread for details. Regards. -scr

I'm crossing my fingers that it'll arrive in Oxnard tomorrow, however, I'm thinking the ship won't arrive until the weekend. The last update from the ship was on the 18th right outside the Panama Canal. I read somewhere that it takes anywhere from 4-5 days to get to CA from Panama so it doesn't seem plausible that the Themis could get to Port Hueneme by tomorrow.
