No more word since Friday for me.

I tried doing a bit if research into the ship movements over the weekend, seems the car transporters arrive - unload - depart in around a 10 hr timeframe, they're on the go 24/7 and it's approx 24 hours between Grimsby and Emdem, and I think from the BW12 thread there's 2 ships doing that route, so there should be boat load of cars arriving in Grimsby on a daily basis...

Just spoke to my dealer who tells me all their cars go to port of Tyne so hopefully mine will be on dry land later today...

Step 6 of 7: Your car has now arrived in the UK and will be delivered to your local Volkswagen Retailer shortly. This normally takes 7 days.

One of the problems getting the car earlier than expected is paying for it! Does anyone know if dealers talke credit cards and if so, what percetage of the total they let you pay by card?

Either my train broke down or the tracker is having a complete wobbly for me! Was strange how I got another Stage 3 text instead of a stage 5 text (when the tracker changed to stage 5), so it's possible it is indeed in a non-recoverable state for me! We'll see

Really starting to look forward to having the car now, everytime I'm driving I'm thinking of being in my VW 

Not sure about credit cards - if I can use one I will to get some airmiles. I don't think my car will be ready before April pay day, so can keep to my planned deposit!

Edit - meant to say, great news you got the arrived in UK text

5b means it's at Emden waiting for a boat - 5c is on a boat. Bear in mind it only updates once every 24 hours so typically by the time you get a 5c notification the boat may almost be docking in the UK.

Good news mate. Who did you get the email from and what did it actually say please? I've had text/email to say mine is in UK, but no more than that.

I had a 5b text today, so hopefully on a ship shortly.

Hi Ffrank,

I recieved the following this morning from the usual VW address, i gave the dealer a call and he reckons the cars is not there yet but is due at 5.30 pm.

Step 7 of 7: Your vehicle has been delivered to your local Volkswagen Retailer and is available for collection. Your Retailer will contact you soon to arrange your handover. Thank you again for your order and happy motoring!
 

Cheers

Anyone got their car yet?

I'm getting a little frustrated at the lack of movement, so far it looks like my car gas sat outside the factory for a week, then sat at Emdem for a week now...
