Don't want to get into a fight with you, shovelhd, but I certainly never intentionally "cut the line" -- I simply went to the VWDieselinfo website, read the information they posted there, followed their instructions, checked my e-mail, received a "thank you for registering" letter that says
And then I sat back and waited five weeks. When it didn't arrive, I called, and they told me, "No, that was a practice website, it wasn't live."
They can say they were "practicing" and they can say it "wasn't live," but they're saying that after the fact. On 8 Nov. 2015 there was absolutely no indication it was a fake website, or that the conformation I received from them was a fake confirmation.
I wasn't trying to cheat. I'm trying to point out to other FWs that it may be wise to check with VW, in case one happens to be eagerly awaiting a package that will never arrive.
