My car came into port in South Carolina very close to the VPC at Spartanburg, SC. My car was at the VPC the same day, stayed there for about 1.5 days and then trucked it to the dealership which is only about 4 hours away. The dealer got my car late one afternoon and had it ready for me by noon the next day.

I would say a total of 2-3 days for me. I was told that if the arriving car is sold and not just for dealer inventory, they give it priority. The dealership can also request priority for your car.

Yes, all cars go through the VPC. Assuming no major issues at the VPC (as in damage in shipping, rare!), should be no more than 3-4 days to get to your dealer.

My car arrived in the Charleston port. It was unloaded at the dealership in Orlando the end of the next day. My sales associate was really surprised how quickly it arrived. He wasn't expecting it for a few days.

On the other hand, my car sat at the VPC for 10 days (awaiting updated software) before shipping out to the dealer. Your mileage may vary.
