or from Los Angeles to New York, usually takes from 9-11 days once the vehicle is in transit. \u00a0The time can vary depending on the weather and road conditions. \u00a0Shipping a vehicle overseas takes a bit more time, as we have to make all of the proper arrangements for export. \u00a0It takes about 1 week to load the vehicle in a container and to process the export documents. \u00a0Once the vehicle is safely loaded in a container, the container is returned to the port so that the carrier can load it on board the vessel for the vehicle to continue its marine journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #606060;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The transit time is different depending to the origin and destination of the vehicle. \u00a0Transit time from Los Angeles to Australia is usually between 24-28 days, with direct service. \u00a0Transit time from Los Angeles to Northern Europe, such as Antwerp in Belgium, Rotterdam in The Netherlands, Bremerhaven in Germany, Le Havre in France, or Southampton in the UK, is normally from 30-37 days. \u00a0These shipping estimates are based on the vessel sailing from Los Angeles without port congestions, CBP port examinations, port delays, port strikes, or other delays that would be considered an act of God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #606060;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We offer weekly shipping from Los Angeles,
