How long does the Boat take to set sail?

For those that have had cars recently does anyone know the answer to the above question?

I spoke the $tealer last Monday 14th who told me my new S3 had a status of something like loaded and awaiting shipping. They hoped that would mean the car would be accross the PDI centre by the end of last week and then available for me mid to late this week.

I called them yesterday to only be told the status was still saying awaitng shipping.Much to my great annoyance this really messes my plans up as I have now got my BMW due to go back on friday but no car to replace it with.

For those who have tracked the progress of recent orders can you give me any insights in to possible timelines I might be looking at?

Thanks

Good advice John, I feel I pushed the dealer pretty hard last week.It wasn't helped that on Thursday Audi apparently had a major computer system crash which meant a lot of info was missing as the system caught up on Friday.

They told me yesterday that they have made a special request to Audi in Germany to prioritise the shipping of my car, the problem is that they can only submit such requests once a week on Tuesday which means that assuming they act straight away and do something with it that my car still won't realistically be her until late next week at best (bank hol doesn't help).

What a stupid system that one status can cover seemingly the whole period from leaving the factory to arrival at PDI.Surely in this day and age when I can track the progress of a parcel as it is transported around the world you'd think a car would be a little easier

Update: Just spoke to the $tealer again and got told that there are approx 250 Wk19 builds still awaiting shipping on a backlog of which mine is one.
They are waiting for Audi Germany to confirm when they will be leaving.Apparently it takes 48 hours from port to port which I find pretty amazing,it's not that far is it?

They then said don't count on it being next week, it will likely be the week after
