UK Port to Dealer

[matchboy]

Does anyone know the process of how the car gets shipped from the port?  For example, does the dealer get an email asking them to arrange transport?  I only ask as my dealer is off sick so if he has to request transport then he clearly hasn't done it yet.... 

No request – VW just send their transporters to the dealerships. My salesman reckoned they just arrive when VW UK want them to and at times they’ve had an unexpected delivery turn up quicker than anticipated (must be more planning to it than that, maybe the salesman isn’t privy to it but someone else at the dealership will be).

Nice one, in that case I can relax  was starting to worry that cause my dealer was off sick this meant my car would just sit in a car park in Sheerness collecting dust

My car is in the UK. No one to chase.  I will wait. Until tomorrow and then start chasing people for a collection date. I was told earlier this month that it will be 25 September that I can collect.

Docked in Grimsby on Wed 18th Sept, delivered to dealer in Sthingyhorpe Sat 21st Sept, quite quick I suspect although it's only a 30 mile journey

Lucky for some
