Like I said above, the auto shipping industry is kind of shitty. If you go to one of those sites and pick the lowest bidder, you better be prepared to wait despite what they tell you up front as being the "normal time frame".

You need to understand how the Auto Transport industry works. Nearly all these companies that will be sending you bids, they are not the company with the truck drivers. They are all middle men. They find a customer. Once they have you as a customer, there is apparently a database of somesort for the actual truckers to go and choose what they want to put on their trailer and deliver.

If you select the lowest bid, they now have to go and find a trucker to actually do the shipping for that low price. That low bid was to get your order, it does NOT mean they have a trucker lined up and willing to ship it for that price. Majority of the time, you are going to be waiting awhile until you find a truck that actually accepts that bid. And to be quite honest, if you go with the absolute lowest bid, they may NOT find a truck willing to do it that cheap.

I don't want to ramble on here, but I've been through this twice now. Unless you are prepared to wait up to 2 months for your car, I would NOT just choose the lowest bidder. You may get lucky and there may be a truck with a spare opening that was about to leave here, and they say "yeah go ahead and just slap it on there". But 9 times out of 10, that doesn't seem to happen. And you'll wait wait wait, until either that 1 out of 10 truck shows up, or the middle man convinces you to pay more because no one is accepting the first bid. And at that point, you'll be pissed that you waited this whole time and you should have just chosen one of the other bids instead.

And that's just you. The person you bought the car from will start to get irritated as well as they were expecting this thing out of their driveway by now.

I'm sharing this all with you for a reason, I've been through it TWICE now and now that I understand how that industry works, it all makes sense. The guy I linked you to out of New Brighton was great to work with, constantly keeps in touch and keeps you updated, and is local so you can go see him in person anytime you need to (most these others companies will be out of Miami, Phoenix, etc).
