Things will only start rolling after we receive confirmation of payment. After that we prep the car in a matter of a couple of days. Any additional tuning work will offcourse extend that time.

After that its a case of awaiting space on a ship. Factors that effect this (and are entirely out of our hands):

Shipping Schedules
Destination Country
Shipping Type (RO RO / Container)
Available Space

Normally we can ship cars to UK/Ireland pretty quick IE less than 8 weeks from purchase but it can take a little longer sometimes with cars going to Nordic countries, mainland Europe Etc. We always do our best to move the cars ASAP as we need the space as much as the customers want the cars!

Australia and NZ are normally quick due to the abundnace of ships and spaces heading there.
