Quote from: ChrisJL on 30 July 2013, 18:05End of September seems optimistic when I'm confirmed week 33 and my dealer recons I won't get mine until mid September. Either mine is overly cautious or yours is very optimistic / telling porkies I'm week 33 too and my dealer is quite confident about a Sept 1st handover. Perhaps yours is looking at worst case scenario for shipping i.e. it gets to Emden via the train within 24 hours of factory release but then sits dockside for 2 weeks at the Emden end and another week at the UK end. My dealer did pull out all the stops for my dad's when it arrived in Tyne Dock, but I don't think he'll have time to give me that treatment if it lands in the UK at the end of August.

My dealer also 26th of aug as being the start of week 33, but I'm pretty sure its the 12th, so unless he based his delivery on that? but I am 100% confirmed wk 33 and I'm almost certain that's Aug 12th, so no reason why we shouldn't get them first week if they do jump straight onto a boat
Had another call from VW, this time from Lisa at VWUK rather than the dealer. She expects those estimated at BW36 to bcome confirmed "in a week... or maybe 2 weeks"Oh yeah, forgot to say, she also said the reversing camera is not holding things up and if it or anything else was then she would call me immediately. I guess that is good news for those of us worried about the camera!
I'm week 32( next week yay) and dealer talking mid sept.
