I've checked the tracking website and it shows up with my vehicle as

Status: Liner Release
Location: Melbourne
Date: 09-06-2011
Time: 10:50:48

Does anyone know what Liner Release means? The Boheme actually arrived in Melbourne on 17 June and left for Port Kembla on 18 June. From what I recall, on 9 June the Boheme was on the way from Durban to Freo.

DISCHARGED is the step after LINER RELEASE.

Mine will be at the dealer on the 27th (Monday - so thats a week from boat to dealer) trying to arrange delivery on the 28th as I have the day off, otherwise will be Saturday week

That's great news, woop!

Mine is now also discharged with the date of discharge being 17 June which is the date the boat arrived in Melbourne, so I assume that just means when it was taken off the boat. Even if it was ready next week, I won't be able to get time off work to collect her because it's the end of financial year week.

Thats no good . It has worked out to be a good week for me as its my short week (only work 3 days next week) so either Tues or Sat.

Status is now DELIVERED FROM as of yesterday... so close I can taste it

Damn straight!

Car was offloaded June 6th but I'm finding it really hard to get a response from the dealer as to when it'll be ready. I'm not demanding a specific time, just want to know when so I can make arranges with my current car, do any paperwork for finance etc.

I think it's because the dealer doesn't know. My car was on the same boat as Lowlee's. I'm in Melbourne, Lowlee's in Sydney, my car got offloaded one day earlier from the boat than Lowlee's, yet I'm pretty sure his car has left the docks and gone to the dealership. I don't know if the processes are quicker at Port Kembla or if it's because more cars may have been dropped off at Melbourne. Anything could be holding mine up at the docks. The dealership will get it when they get it, it's beyond their control as to what happens to the car when at the docks.

Going by the times people have experienced here i would say you should have picked up the car by now?
My dealer is saying 10 days from landing to pickup (i will be laughing from happiness if this is the case) but not counting on it.

You'd be hoping ... not quite sure what they're doing. He did call me (6pm on a Friday during a work preso) and left a message that it should be ready for me 2nd week July. Seems to be AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGESS since it arrived.

Oh man! I would be soo pissed off if my dealer said 5 weeks from landing to pickup.
You should totally demand an explanation for the extended wait time and something thrown in with the car like bluetooth (lol.. as if right)

In Newcastle actually but close enough - Dealer will be getting my car tomorrow and I have confirmed delivery on Tuesday 28th Cannot wait...

Now I just have to hope that the train to Tamworth isn't late on Tuesday
