True, when did you get your "in transit" notification?
Notification of 5a in Transit on 6th April

I got the 5a notification on the 15th of March, I wouldn't hold your breath for a sudden appearance of your car.

I don't expect to see my new car now for well over a month at least!

Mine left PE around the 6th of March and still haven't taken delivery of the car. If I collect it next week it would have been 8 weeks from shipping to delivery.

My dealer said expect 6 weeks...I bet I can add to that.
When I had my 2010 GTI from Spain ordered in January, got it in the April. Repeat for my 2015 GTI. So easy then.

Maybe you'll get your 5b notification tomorrow morning?

Hi folks, I appreciate it's all a little random but a quick update if it helps - I got a 5b update on Wed 17th (car at Emden) - spoke to my dealer today who confirmed it has now arrived in the UK (Sheerness) - I've not had a confirmation on the app/SMS yet but usually comes the day after. Dealer isn't sure when it'll be ready for me to collect but I think they say 7-10 days to cover it

I dont want to burst your bubble but I would take that with a pinch of Salt mine has been in the Sheerness since 17/04 (Also never got the 5C notication, only a screen shot and notification from dealer showing arrived in UK) and still no news on when its going to be transported or avaialble to collect, had a email last night saying they still havent got a delivery date from UK port but would hope to have one soon.

Think ours have traveled together, in Sheerness over the weekend, got a call Tuesday to say it was there. At 12 today I got a call from the dealer to say the car is booked onto a transporter and will arrive in Barnstaple on 8/5, plan is I collect it on 10/5. Tracker still says in transit since it got out of the factory in early March.
Got to say dealer has been really good

Had a video message today to say that my car is in the country and will be at the dealership next Thursday. Just need to sort out a day for hand over now.

Mine arrived in the UK on the 23rd and will reach the dealer on 30th so 7 days turn around, if that helps anyone.

That’s good to know, thanks - my dealer isn’t too far from the port so I’m hoping that bit of this whole journey is quick anyway!

Nice one! My dealer has been really good as well and very sympathetic to the delay
