First, I have already searched all threads regarding this so yes i know what the search tab is.

S4 has been on a ship since 08/16 and is due to arrive in MIA on 08/29.
Why does it take 2 weeks for a vehicle to arrive to its final destination 2 miles away on 09/12?

Before any of you say something like customs clearance or inspection, i own a trading company and clearing cargo in MIA port takes a maximum of 2 days unless the goods are subject to a random inspection. I assume audi sends quite a few shipments a year... so this should not be the case.

Any positive feedback would be appreciated.

In California, mine only took 5 days from port in San Diego to dealer in San Jose, but two things really impact this...
1. how long customs and inspections take. This time of year it is a little slower due to higher volume coming in. I know your comment about a trading company, I use to own one in upstate NY and have to deal with the New Jersey Port Authority
2. they have to wait for a full truck going your direction, which should not be a problem this time of year.

When I got my car, they told me 7-10 days port to dealer, then called a few days later and said it was here, so they are probably giving you worst case scenario

Mine sat in port over a week waiting on a truck to fill up
