here's the deal.... my car's production date was yesterday May 29th... i have asked for it to be delivered by air frieght,,,,, anyone know how long it should take for it to be shipped?

 

no one with any insight?

 

I dont think many ship that way, I would venture a guess 1-2 weeks. Cars can sit at the port for this long waiting for a vessell so I would assume room on an air cargo could take as long...only the travel time is much shorter

 

I think the same...

 

and my guess would be the price is SIGNIFICANTLY more.....

 

Mine was airfreighted and it took about a week.

 

depends.... could take around 3 days ... from london to dubai takes 2 to 3 days .... they get sent on normal airlines... but u have to pay the price... London to Dubai for an M6 cost around 3000 GBP

 

UPS does not freight ship any motorized vehicles (just spoke to them). who would do this? FedEx? if not, who else please?

 

I would ask Porsche that question. They have to ship it so I'm sure are very experienced and would know who to use for shipping.

 

Mine was shipped through Porsche. Dealer made the arrangement and I got it in a week.

 

Its not UPS that does them .... talk to shipping agents, they will arrange by getting u a space on normal airlines (I.E. AA, United, Emirates, Virgin). There are specialized agents that deal with that. I dont know about Germany but in London i can arrange someone to do it. (im sure that there are loads in germany as many cars get air freighted from there to Dubai, like Ferraris, and other cars in order to flout the waiting list)

Dont go with your normal courier service they dont do this.

Look for specialized shipping agents, or brokers.

 

Not sure about Porsche, but I am thinking to get a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4, they charge USD 2,000 for seafreight and USD 6,100 for airfreight !

 

thanks, i'll be spending most of the day looking for agents/brokers who can arrange this rather quickly. For now, not shipping a car, but some waverunners (all on trailers) from NY to south eastern EU. got the names of some reputable brokers already, but happy to hear who you guys know or recommend

 

Schenker could possibly help you.
