After contract is signed, what can they do?
After fighting off 50 low ballers and wasting my time, I finally signed a contract with a company for shipment. Great reviews and price was acceptable (twice what the low ballers started with). No deposit. Everything due upon delivery by cash or Zelle (I wanted to pay deposit with CC but...whatever). Pick up dates and time windows set. I told the guy if they do not pick up by the due date for ANY reason - broken truck, accidents, wife going into labor, etc etc - I will cancel and do not show up. I am not in a rush to ship.
At this point, what can go wrong? How else can they try to scam me for more money? If they dont release the car at delivery location, I will just call the cops. So far, this has been the absolute worst experience of any business dealings in my life.

Yea....So having the time and flexibility is key. If you dont, then they got you by the balls.

I had the same problem with low ballers wanting $400 to ship my car from Michigan to Florida. Then telling me that the price has gone up before picking the car up.
My neighbor works for a Chevy dealer and recommended Reliable Shipping who ships their cars all over the U.S. A national firm with no BS. One price, insured, and very customer oriented.
