It is frustaring I know. I originally ordered an S90 (from China) back in May 2019 and had several delayed deleivery dates by July 2019, the last one being for January 2020 !!
I swapped out into an S60 ordered in Aug 19 and arrived 3oth Nov 2019 all the way from the US of A. (15 weeks or so) Long delivery times and delays are not unknown in recent years with Volvo. Has you dealer told you exactly what stage the delivery is at? They have a programme that they can review which gives them all sorts of detail. It used to be called VISTA but whether it still is I don't know.

Then if the car has to be shipped off and then shipped back onto another ship (almost certainly the case at least once) then it could be a week between ship off and on for example. If the shipping company haven't booked the car at various points in the journey it may be somewhere other than Poland. These were some of the reasons why Volvo were an early adopter of the fixed rail route from China to Bruges/Zeebrugge. 22 days factory to port with no transhipping. see vid of first train back then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEnGOwmbvDs The rail route does go through Poland but if it is actually on rail it seems unlikely the wagon with your car has got stuck in a goods siding somewhere in Poland. Unless a fault on that wagon led to it being taken out of the train for repair. Why do I have any idea about all this stuff? My experiences in 2019. It will arrive and you will enjoy it all the more when it does; at least Ihave mine.

Hello guys
Wanted to let you know how my order for XC60 Inscription T8 2022 is going. The order was placed in Romania, in March '21 with delivery in end July '21. I was told that the production for the '22 model starts in May. In May the dealer contacted me about the bliss and 360 problem, letting me know that the options will not be available, my decision was to wait until the options will be available. In June the car got a confirmation delivery date for end of November with bliss and 360 accepted. Yesterday, with only one month before scheduled delivery, got a call from the dealer telling me that the ventilated seats are no longer available .... and if i don't switch to normal seats, the order will be deleted and I have been waiting for nothing if I insist on this option.... just wanted to let you know |

Well AS people have been saying! my build date has slipped, should have been built this week but had a call from the dealers on Monday saying looking like new windows are Build W/C 4th Oct, Del W/C 11th, Hoping pickup W/C 18th.
Let hope these dates are confirmed! Does anyone know how the cars are shipped from the Sweden Factory to the UK? is it via Brugge and then the UK or Direct? Cheers

I cant confirm whether tis still the same but it used to be by DFDS from Gothenburg to either Immingham or Tilbury.
Looking at the dates you have been given I would say it is still direct.to UK.
