Re: ExpressAutoShippers INCOMPETENT on shipping a car DO NOT USE THEM

This is probably not the fault of the shipper. There are not many cars being shipped right now, and it's making it difficult for shipping companies to find enough cars to make a full truck load. This causes big delays. The issue, though, is that they should have told you this up front.

I recommend IWD Transportation based out of Kansas City. Their phone number is (816) 303-0163. Ask for Debbie. I ship hundreds of cars, and this is who I use.

Mike

Re: ExpressAutoShippers INCOMPETENT on shipping a car DO NOT USE THEM

Thanks for the suggestion Mike. I have used DAS in the past and had very good results as many of my friends. The last time a friend shipped a car, it took quite a bit longer because of the lack of cars being shipped right now.

Re: ExpressAutoShippers INCOMPETENT on shipping a car DO NOT USE THEM

Never ever pay a deposit until you know your car has been picked up or it is a company who you have dealt with in the past on the same shipping route. After nearly a month trying to get my TVR picked up in the middle of nowhere CO a friend suggested I try www.uship.com

My TVR was picked up within 2 days and you can opt out of having brokers bid on your car. Great site! As Mike said it probably wasn't something they were able to get done as nearly every company brokers out certain routes. For meI couldn't get picked up because of the horrible location no matter how much I offered to pay a transporter. Then by paying $400 more I got it delivered in the back of a 24 enclosed trailer.
