What Is Dealership Delivery — And How Does It Protect Your Brand?
Dealership delivery is the last-mile vehicle delivery service that moves a sold vehicle from your dealership directly to the buyer's home or business address. It is the dealer-to-consumer leg of a sale — the customer's first physical interaction w...

Why Dealers Choose CarShippers.ai for Dealership Delivery
Condition Documentation That Protects Your Brand
Timestamped photos at pickup from your lot and at delivery to the customer, emailed to your dealership within 2 hours of each event. Signed bill of lading creates a legal acceptance record. If a customer disputes damage, you have clear evidence from both ends.
Remote-Sale / Out-of-State Buyer Workflow
Built for the fastest-growing dealer segment — buyers purchasing online from another state. We coordinate the delivery window directly with the buyer, confirm address and presence, and handle every logistics call so your sales team is not managing delivery after the deal closes.
White-Glove Consumer Handoff
The driver arrives clean, on time, in your delivery window, and walks the buyer through the condition report side-by-side. This is the customer's first physical interaction with the vehicle — treated like a showroom moment, not a freight drop.
Volume Dispatch via Online Platform or CSV Upload
Dealer groups dispatching 20+ deliveries per month submit through the online dealer platform or CSV upload. Consolidated invoicing per rooftop, account-level shipment reporting, and a named account manager for high-volume operations.
How Dealership Delivery Works
Submit the Sale via Platform or CSV
Submit VIN, customer address, delivery window, and special handoff notes through the online dealer platform or CSV upload. Local deliveries can dispatch same day; regional deliveries are typically dispatched within 24 hours.
Pickup at Your Lot with Condition Documentation
A MOTUS-verified driver arrives within your pickup window, walks the lot manager through the vehicle, and captures timestamped photos of all four sides plus any existing marks. Photos and signed BOL are emailed to your dealership within 2 hours.
Delivery with a Brand-Grade Handoff
We coordinate the delivery window directly with the buyer. The driver arrives clean and on time, walks the customer through the condition report, captures signed acceptance documentation, and emails the completed delivery packet within 2 hours.
Booking takes minutes — not days of phone tag with brokers.
