La to Melbourne import

[tceddia]

Hey all, couldn't find the answer to this question so i thought I might ask. People that also want to know will be able to see the answer here too

How long does it take for an import car to get from la to Melbourne by boat generally?

Thanks

Depends how and who its shipped with.

Mine from memory took about 9 weeks in the end.

But about 6 of those weeks, it was sitting in a warehouse in Long Beach waiting for the ship to arrive into port after some engine issues - Once that was sorted it only took about 25 days approx to land in Brisbane. Regarless, that was still very quick from what l here.

Melbourne if on the same route, would probably ad another 1 - 2 weeks I guess, depending on how many stop's down the coast before it finally docks into Melboure - remembering you can see the arse end of the world from there!!

Buy one that's already in Melbourne.

You can have it as soon as you arrange the cash and a permit to drive it home.

Agree with HappyOne with timing.
Also agree with the others.
Buy one here. Unless you can go there and inspect the
car yourself..............

3 weeks on the boat is normal now. You do need to add in the cleaning, customs and quarantine periods.
