I'd be really worried. Customs can take a week or more.

It comes down to time and money.
Time: You may have to wait longer to get the car you want. Money: If your car was destroyed, somebody (hopefully insurance) is going to have to pay for it. Patience is key here, though I'm sure it's a tough thing to wait out...

Not much I can do. I'm sure they are still assessing things. Biting my nails.

Hoping for the best for your baby...
The insurance policy that covered the car in Europe converts to a maritime policy which covers the car all the way until redelivery to you at your dealer (yes, I read the freakin paperwork)... If it was on the ground already, ouch

Does the marine/maritime insurance offer coverage against natural disasters, act of god etc.? I remember when I lost my car. Theoretically it was my car, so I should have handled all the paperwork etc., but BMW did it all for me. Would expect the same service in this instance.

My car also came in on the 25th. I called my dealer and they said they had heard that they did not get hit that bad. How can that be as it is in NY harbor. Now my CA is off to Munich for a week and I have no idea how to get any information. Any thoughts?

Incidentally, if you get through, ask them if the incoming ships will be redirected to drop off cars in GA instead until the cleanup is over... My car is set to arrive on the 15th.

Just an update that I did call and got through to VPC and spoke with them directly on Thursday. They said all of the BMW's were ok and mine was released by customs. They were on 24/7 trying to get caught up and that my car would be put on a truck today.
Wonder how they escaped and Toyota lost 4000 cars as the address on google maps make them look about the same elevation. Anyway, a real blessing.
