Took 2 months from order placement to arrival for mine. I kept getting mixed msgs from my dealer so I tracked my car by calling Mazda Australia customer assistance line direct.
You know the dealer, color of your car. If you get the nice man I got he will give you the tracking number based on that info.
Once you have that get updates direct from Mazda Australia every 2 weeks or so.
The wait will feel like forever though no matter how short or long it takes ;-)
From info I've heard, the actual assembly of the car on the manufacturing line is probably around a day. The rest of it is waiting for a boat, stopping off at other ports, arriving at the port and going through all the checks, dealer being allocated the car and getting it delivered etc.
hey yer i work for mazda atm there haven trouble because of the earthquake we have alot of cars that we r waiting on that were given a delevery date of 2 weeks ago and we still dont have them but hopeing that they come soon..... shouldnt b to much longer though.
I was told the boat my car was going on, and the date, from there you can simply track the boats position on the internet, and when its docked,
Then it probably took about a week by the time it went through customs, was transported to the dealer and was ready for my pick up.
So once your car is on the ship you know you have about 3 weeks till you get it...
