Default Delivery times in Ontario

I purchased the ES 300h in Blue Mica with parchment interior with technology package in early October and was advised vehicle should be available by end of November based on an October build. Now I'm being advised that they are behind on production, and vehicle still not built yet, so delivery will definitely not be until December. I'm Just curious what others are experiencing in terms of delivery times in Ontario.

I'm guessing I wanted a popular option (starlight mica, black interior with leather package), it was sitting at Heffners waiting to be purchased. No wait times.

Purchased a Star light Black Mica ES350 Tech Pack in Mid Sept, our dealership told us we would be looking at least Mid Dec or later for Delivery; fortunatly they were able to locate car at Vancouver dealership, after much haggling, they agreed to bring car in to Bel Air Lexus ottawa,
Apparently tech pack very hard to come by in Canada in any colour! Even then, took almost 5 weeks delivery time for car to ship, Did not want to wait over 3 months for delivery, although you won't be sorry, Tech Pack is incredible, so far everything working as it should,although don't know about Pre-Collision System, hope not to find out! ENJOY P.S. ours is also the parchment interior

Say it isn't so ! I placed my order for a 300h with Tech. Pkg. on Oct. 22 and was told end of Nov. delivery. I figured 4 + weeks transit time to Toronto from assembly plant in Japan.

I noted that some American members were given ocean vessel name, etc. so they could track transit across the Pacific. I asked my salesman at Heffner and had no idea what I was talking about. Based on past less than satisfactory responses from Lexus Canada they won't be much help. I expect Leather and Nav. Pkgs. will represent majority of ES300h sales by a mile.

For estimating purposes, shipping timing is 4 weeks on boat (Nagoya -> Vancouver) + 1 week on land to get to this area. The ES probably ships from a port on the west closer to Kysushu, so add a day or two. If the port ends up being Los Angeles, it could add another week of land / customs time.
