Hello everybody :)
About 1 week ago I received the email from Volvo "Your new car is being prepared" for the XC40 I ordered mid June.

Not sure how long would take to get it delivered but I'm getting pretty excited!

congrats! It looks from ordering (CW 26 to preparing week 36) they only take 10-11 weeks to process the order. That's quite fast.

Congrats, hope you're enjoying your new car.

Ordered my V60CC 2/7 and, all being well, collect Monday - seems like Belgium & Sweden factories have similar timelines.

But..........an email????? This is my 2nd Volvo & they've never treated me to an email. I had ZERO communication until dealer phoned Monday trying to get me to collect my car today. He got both barrels!

Seems like my dealer prefers to prioritise month/quarter end targets over customers.

Glad you had such a good experience - my dealer's getting a 1* review from me.

(Edit: + the service dept. are absolute carp. I will never darken their door again - shame really as it's walkable from home but, there are plenty of dealers who will collect & return. Anybody want to nominate a really good dealer - fire away).

I was quite pleased with it indeed. Before placing the order, they told me to expect it for 3rd week of Sept. Once placed, the "system" estimated the 9th of Sept to then get it delivered the 3rd week of Sept.

Thanks but....just noticed, you're clearly not in UK?? (Based on your packs description). Think this depends on importers. UK used to have a tracking app but they stopped it.
