Default Shipping Corvette recommendations

Has anyone used United Routes Shipping, Sweet Spot Transport or Shiplux..? Getting ready to hire someone and would like to distinquish between the three and which one to hire, if all prices are within the same range.

Most of those who have experience in shipping autos will recommend you stay away from brokers. There's many threads on auto shipping in this forum. You need to look much further than just a cheap price to avoid issues when it comes to auto shipping. InterCity lines are highly recommended even though not the cheapest. Good luck.

I’d pay a few hundred more for a perfectly delivered car.

I called a broker once and I was buried with constant emails and phone calls from a zillion transporters. Stay away from brokers. I've used Intercity twice. Once from Kerbeck and once from MacMulkin. Both deliveries were great. Right to my front door in enclosed trailers. Can't beat their service. It's roughly $1 per mile usually but sometimes you can get a small discount. Good luck and Happy Holidays.

Second recommendation for Intercity and they give Corvette Forum discounts.

SRJ, one week you say you use Mills Transport exclusively, the next week it's UShip. You have also stated you purchase locally (at least the two cars you've purchased over the last 20 years) so what do you use the above auto shippers for?
Seems you really enjoy spewing bogus info and recommendations here.
