You Can Now Have Shopping Delivered Straight To Your Volvo

Everyone’s favourite Swedish manufacturer has just revealed that customers in the Nordic region can now have their shopping delivered directly to their car. Volvo has teamed up with NordPost and a couple of online retailers to provide the service.

The way it works is that you place your order as normal, then select the Volvo In-Car Delivery service at the checkout. The delivery driver will then take your package to your car, and can gain access to the boot thanks to a digital key. Once the key has been used once, the code is deleted.

Volvo is better known for being at the forefront of safety technology, but it claims it’s actually committed to all technologies that “make a customer’s life easier, better, safer or more fun.” This service will certainly make it easier to do the Christmas shopping for people who don’t have time to wait around for parcels during the week, or don’t fancy hitting the shops on busy weekends.

This isn’t the first time a manufacturer has provided such a service. Earlier this year, Amazon and Audi teamed up to trial an almost identical service, shortly after Volvo’s initial trials for its service began.

Does that mean that all the delivered car parts will make the suspension collapse? Well, might as well buy new coilovers…

*Postnord. I’m sorry, I hate nit-pickery too,, but I couldn’t resist.

is this the same as regular delivery where the person paying can send something to a different address? because if it is you could have some real fun with that…

Will they also mount the car parts ?

Actually…

i wonder how many trolls will drive their car while waiting for delivery just just to make the postman chase them x)

Whats the point of having a car that people deliver too? Isn’t the basic point of a car to take you places and pick up stuff? There goes about half the cars basic purpose, why even buy one at that point? Unless you live in your car I don’t see how this is better than bringing it to your doorstep
