[DeTomaso] Shipping Companies

[GW]

Last car I bought on Ebay I had shipped form California to Indiana by 
DAS. I was happy. I paid extra to have it put on the top so it would not 
be under a car (oil). To make things easier I also paid to have it 
picked up and dropped off at the destination. Deffinantly cheaper to 
pick up at the terminal but nice when they come by and drop it off in 
your driveway:

"I don't like the fact that they off-load/reload onto different trucks
(types).does everyone do that? I'm sorta new to all this shipping stuff, 
Jim"

I think their just brokers anyway and you will probably end up with the 
same drivers, trucks and situation unless you pay a very big premium.

It had oil dripped on the hood from the car above it. price $1200. In 04' I was satisfied...  The cool thing was I had a tracking number and I drew a map of the US and followed it for the longest 10 days of my life. I bought my car unseen from Ebay. I look forward to hearing about your receiving your car.  Bill
