Got my VIN number today! They told me it's still on target for a September delivery...does it really take that long in transit??

Bummer! So how long has your wait been?
The only thing that has kept me somewhat sane is this forum...plus the toys I have been ordering for it(19" volk vrg2 wheels in matte black,paddles,p3 gauge,revozport carbon pieces)

you don't really want to know.. so let me preempt this with it looks like the flow of orders is getting better and there are a few of us who have had extraordinary wait times.

I ordered last September and I take delivery this coming Thursday...

Thats a quick turn around from docking to pickup.
My dealer said it averages 15-20 (working?) days from dock to delivery.

Mine is on the TAIKO which docked on the 19th, so I am not expecting it till mid July at the moment.

Really?
I have a build date week 20 and I am expecting the VIN next week (week 21), dealer stated car will be in the country no later than week 26 (end of June) and in my hands well before end July (week 30). Once I have a VIN I will know what boat it is on to confirm transit.

I am not getting a Golf but another yet to be released model in VW's line-up, still that long for the transit phase is a bit rude. The only thing I could think the delay is about is that VW need to flood the dealers with newer models to show off and the poor ones who spec ordered have been queue jumped.

Not exactly sure how delivery works once the car docks, but im guessing it would take a day or 2 at the docks while all necessary work is carried out there before being loaded up on the truck and delivered to the dealer. Then another 1-2 days at the dealer before handover to the buyer. The Melbourne docks are literally no more then an hour from my dealership so im hoping to have the car within a week of it docking in Melbourne. Does that sound right?
