[stink]

Hi All,

My car was due to arrive on Sunday, and was just thinking if any of you guys would now someone who could check it out for me?

I know its a long shot.

Hey stink,

Brokers don't normally go and assess it @ port either. Normally its just sit tight until it reaches compliance.

I know its hard to not go and want to see the car when it arrives, but you have to be patient and wait

The problem you have to get passed is that the car will be in quarantine and you need to hold a Blue Card in order to enter that site. Not only this, but its customs...they are tight bastards.

Just sit it out, keep on the phone to your shipping company asking where its at, and make sure once its cleared its on a truck straight away.

Hope this helps

Thanks Sambo,

Yeah just had a chat and they told me pretty much what you have said.

They have got confirmation that its arrived so thats good, but apart from that its wait out.

Driving me nuts lol!!

Hopefully it will get out by the end of the week.

Thats awesome dude! Really happy to hear ur baby has arrived safely

But try and jeep calm hey, cause i had a few delays with compliance and she is finally ready now, i pick her up tomorrow morning!!

Customs clearance is weird. It could take 1 day, it could take 10....mine took 10 >.< All depends on how clean your car's interior is and whether or not it needs fumagating.

But yeh, i remember seeing mine in the flesh for the first time and i didnt wanna leave

Have fun with it man, take care on the roads...and let me know how it all goes!

Cheers bud.

Cheers Sambo,

So the first time you got to see yours was at the compliancers?

Mick said they will call him when its released and then it gets delivered straight to them.

Hopefully a short wait!

Cheers Stink

Oh yeah as soon as i get some more pics i will post em up.

[Sambo33gtst]

Oh wicked you went with Mick @ SVI?

If you did man, mention my name...Sam Douglas. If you do he will surely give you a discount dude

But yeah man, mick and SVI are great...they are really speedy with ordering the compliance plate, the work done is prompt and well done. You shouldnt have any problems!

Dude, once you get her all sweet post some pics up, then PM me your contact details and we can maybe get some decent pics taken of our cars!? im only on the sunshine coast so not a big trip.

Anyway...good luck with the rest of it dude.

Only other advice i would give is the following. Ring mick or look on your shipping invoice...and get your VIN/Chassis # and your Engine # ring AAMI Insurance and organise to go into their nearest branch to get your CTP Insurance all sorted out and paid for. This way, if you have the receipt and your Rego forms, your able to drive the car from compliance to the Dep of Transport and save $100 that you would normally have to spend on a tray truck. But if you bought through mick, he will probably do it for you

Good luck man.

Hey 95sky,

Mate i am not sure on what the name of it was called, i did see it but cant remember i think it was like "funubushi" or something. But it did arrive sunday so imagine they wouldnt get alot of car carriers arriving the same day? could be wrong of course?
