North Point Volvo Blog

We here at Northpoint Volvo Cars have never been partial to the idea of our packages waiting at our doorstep. Primarily because our items are often left in inclement weather, or at the risk of theft for several hours. If you struggle with the same situation -- don't we all? --, you may be pleased to learn that Volvo has partnered with Sweden startup, Urb-it, to ensure that you never have to settle for primitive forms of delivery, again.

Social media is ubiquitous in this day and age. Since the earliest days of Facebook and Twitter, every automaker out there has flocked to the net to show off the best and brightest of their fleets. It is a revolution in the way that iconic brands can connect and reach out to their fans. However, many see it as just another venue for advertisement. With Volvo, however, the experience is so much more than that.

Sweden. Land of enchantment. Home of the Swedish meatball. It is a land straight out of a fantasy book, its mountains reaching the sky, its valleys verdant and lush, and its lakes swimming with multi-colored, delicious gummy Swedish Fish. Well, maybe not that last one. But Sweden is an amazing place, and with Volvo's Overseas Delivery option, you too can visit the high-altitude homeland of historic icons of Alfred Nobel, Ingrid Bergman, and the Swedish Chef from the Muppets.
