I was wondering if anyone had any experience/ideas about a way to track a vehicle during shipment. I recently signed a contract on a new 2017 IS350 F Sport to replace my 2015. The car left Japan on 11/9 and I think it made landfall on 11/30. I searched the forums and found ways to track the car during shipping, but not once it has made it stateside. Is there a way to see where the car is if I have the VIN or at the very least get a decent estimate for how long it takes it to get from US port to Texas?

 

It landed in the southern port. I had asked the vessel name but the next day, it was already at port so it didn't really help much. I didn't ask about tracking by land. I wouldn't think it would be much longer, but it does have a couple of port-installed options.

 

I tracked my car from the port in Japan to the port here in NY/NJ. However, once it arrived I lost visibility of it and the only updates I received were from the dealer. This was a truck delivery from the port. The good thing is that it arrived a few days prior to their prediction.

 

Well I got my answer. Another week for me
