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 *(icon: Check) (lucide-check)* 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 *(icon: Star) (lucide-star)* 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 *(icon: Check) (lucide-check)* 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 IT WORKS* ## How Dealership Delivery Works **01** ### 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. **02** ### 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. **03** ### 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. *TRANSPARENT PRICING* ## Dealership Delivery **Cost & Pricing** From $250 same-day local | $350-$650 regional (100-500 mi) | $600-$1,000 multi-state.

Timestamped photos and signed BOL at pickup and delivery provide clear condition records from both ends of the shipment. ### What if the buyer isn't available at delivery? The delivery team coordinates directly with the customer before arrival. Re-attempt delivery fees may apply if the customer is unavailable during the scheduled window. ### Do you handle out-of-state remote sales? Yes. Remote-sale and out-of-state dealership delivery workflows are supported nationwide with full buyer scheduling coordination. *FAQ* ## Frequently Asked Questions About **Dealership Delivery** ### How does dealership delivery work? We coordinate pickup from your dealership, carrier dispatch, buyer scheduling, timestamped condition documentation, and final delivery handoff directly to the customer. ### How much does dealership delivery cost? Same-city deliveries run $250-$400 flat. Regional (100-500 mi) runs $350-$650. Multi-state remote-sale (500-1,500 mi) runs $600-$1,000. Cross-country (1,500+ mi) runs $900-$1,500. Enclosed adds 30-50%. Volume accounts receive negotiated per-unit rates. ### Do you handle out-of-state remote-sale deliveries? Yes. We coordinate the delivery window with the buyer, confirm address and presence, and handle logistics calls so your sales team is not managing delivery after the deal closes. ### How are damage disputes handled? Timestamped photos at pickup and delivery are emailed within 2 hours. Signed BOL at delivery creates a legal acceptance record. Claims use carrier cargo insurance with photo evidence from both ends. ### What is the difference between dealership delivery and auction shipping? Dealership delivery moves a sold vehicle from your lot to the customer. Auction shipping moves purchased inventory from auction yards to your lot. Both run under one dealer account. ### What is your on-time delivery rate? On-time performance is tracked per account and reported in monthly dealer summaries. Your account manager escalates delays proactively before customers call your sales team. ### What happens if the buyer isn't available at delivery? We coordinate directly with the customer before arrival. Re-attempt delivery fees may apply if the buyer is unavailable during the scheduled window. ### Do you provide quarterly business reviews for dealer groups? Yes for multi-rooftop dealer groups. Quarterly reviews cover volume, on-time rate, condition-dispute rate, and corridor pricing. *FOR BUSINESSES* ## Multi-Rooftop **Dealer Group Operations** Solutions Built for dealer groups managing high-volume delivery operations across multiple rooftops - online platform, consolidated invoicing, and quarterly business reviews. - Independent dealers - Franchise dealers - Dealer groups (multi-rooftop) - Online retailers - Luxury / exotic dealerships - EV-focused dealers *BENEFITS* - Online platform + CSV upload - Consolidated per-rooftop invoicing - Named account manager - Quarterly business reviews - MOTUS-verified carriers Talk to dealer enterprise (link-/contact) *OTHER SERVICES* ## Also used by dealerships (image url: https://cdn.carshippers.ai/car-shippers-ai-website/images/service-open-transport.webp) ### Open transport (link-/services/open-transport) Most affordable. ~90% of US shipments.
