Title: Which day of the week do BW's usually get confirmed?
Post by: GTI_Redpath on 10 September 2013, 15:11
I should hopefully get a confirmed bw this week :grin: Question for the people who have already had their bw confirmed. Is their a certain day of the week that confirmed BW's are given or is it just a random day of the week?

I can concur. That's exactly what happened to me. Thursday evening 'With the Factory', next morning it was 'Build week confirmed'.
 
Fingers crossed for you this Friday Redpath :smiley:

of course the tracker is probably just an automated system to stop irate folk bombarding vw with complaints  :wink:

All changes to the tracker status seem to happen overnight from the day before rather than in real time. My car arrived at the dealership Monday morning, but it was only overnight to Tuesday morning it showed up as being at the dealership. Same happened with every stage of “in transit” from “4 weeks” (left factory), to “3 weeks” (officially received at Emden and awaiting a ship), to “10 days” (it’s on a boat) and then “arrived in the UK”.

On the assumption I didn't get priority shipping and Tyne dock bound cars are getting here quicker due to lack of shipping constraints i.e. volume of return cargo (Nissans to the continent) rather than outbound cargo (German cars coming to NE England and Scotland, You could be in your car within 2 weeks of it going to "in transit", like I am.

what I'd like to know is how someone orders at least 4 weeks after me from the same supplying dealer and gets a car quicker!

Different dealer, same group. Not sure whether it would've been too much to ask a different branch with (as yet, at the time of ordering) unused allocation whether a car can officially ordered through theirs to use their allocation and get a car in quicker. I suppose the other branch hope on a day to day basis to get a visitor who's going to place an order.

It may be chaps the factory is still catching up from the 2 week delay.  If you were due to have it built today you could still be looking at another 2 weeks.  Or you could be lucky and it starts on time!  The tracker is not the be all and end all at this stage so no need to panic too much!  :smiley:
