Ground Transportation process by Truck

Vehicle pick up: The process of vehicle transportation to the warehouse or port will begin as soon as the vehicle and freight are paid for. An Auction Export representative will verify the vehicle and the title/ownership are ready for pick up and a vehicle will be dispatched to the location.

Note: All vehicles are insured during ground transportation and are picked up by a flat bed or tow truck. Auction Export uses qualified drivers approved and licensed by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

Ocean Transportation

Container Shipping: Your vehicle will be delivered to an Auction Export warehouse in NJ, GA, TX, CA or for Canadian shipments Toronto, ON.,Montreal QC., A 40ft container can hold up to 5 vehicles and if you are shipping a full container load the container will be loaded upon vehicles arrival at the warehouse. You will be provided with a container number which you can use to get an updated position of your cargo. If you are shipping a single vehicle then it will be consolidated into a container with other vehicles and loaded as soon as all the vehicles arrive at the warehouse. When the container is loaded it will be transported to the port and loaded onto a vessel the following week.

RORO: Your vehicle will be delivered directly to the exit port in NJ, MD, GA, FL, TX, CA or Halifax Nova Scotia for Canadian shipments. When the vehicle arrives to the port the title/ownership and accompanying documents are submitted to U.S. Customs. Please note, NJ customs are overburdened due to very high volume, and delays are not uncommon. The vehicle will be loaded onto the next vessel with available cargo space.

Nigeria: Most RORO vehicles to Nigeria are shipped with Grimaldi/ACL. Grimaldi has a first come first serve policy and it is not uncommon for a vehicle to miss the first available vessel due to a lineup cars already waiting at the port. Our Nigerian clients prefer the use of Grimaldi due to its unrivalled safety and easy receipt of their vehicle in Lagos where Grimaldi has its own terminal.

Ground Transportation Is the First Stage of the Delivery Process

After the vehicle and freight are paid, we arrange a pick up of the vehicle from the point of sale with a flatbed truck or a trailer and load them as per instructions.
All vehicles are insured during ground transportation. Once a vehicle is delivered to an exit port, depending on which shipping line is being used, it will take about 2-3 weeks to clear before this can be loaded into a vessel.
The inland delivery cost depends on the distance between the state where a car is located and the state where it is to be loaded. Please consult the map below to check the estimates.

Great promotion is back, Auction Export Announces "The Car Plates Hunt"!

If you saw a vehicle on the street with the Auction Export plate cover do not hesitate to take a picture and send it over to us and be rewarded with $10* for each car with Auction Export plate cover.
We will run this Plate promotion from Nov 1 to Nov 30, 2016.

Reminder! Issues Can Effect time of Transportation

Auction Vehicles: If the vehicle is purchased from an auction the selling party has up to 30 days to turn in the title/ownership for the vehicle. This can cause significant delays for the shipping process as the vehicle will not be picked up until the title/ownership is present. Please ask an Auction Export representative if the vehicle title/ownership is present prior to purchase to avoid this delay.

Overground Delivery duration: Certain areas of the U.S.A. have a seasonal or yearly low traffic volume increasing the amount of time elapsed between vehicle purchase and delivery to the warehouse or port. States with low traffic volume include, but are not limited to, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Delays can also occur due to bad weather conditions in the winter months. Please note that other potential delays can occur from truck breakdowns which are rare but unavoidable.

Snowbird Effect: During the pre-winter months of October and December many retirees move their cars and furniture to Florida to spend the winter in a warmer climate. This limits the amount of empty trucks moving South along the Eastern shore of the U.S.A. To ports in Georgia and Florida causing the potential delays for vehicle delivery to ports and warehouses. This trend is reversed in the pre-summer months.

Port Delays: Please be aware that delays can sometimes occur during the winter months when the ports are closed or there is lack of available containers due to bad weather conditions.
Please note, NJ customs are overburdened due to very high volume, and delays with documentation are not uncommon. When shipping RORO there may be delays due to the large volume the shipping line is experiencing, in this case, the vehicle will be loaded onto the next vessel with available cargo space.

Price Information: How to Read It?

There are over 250 000 clean and salvage title vehicles available for sale on our website every day. You can buy a car either for a fixed price or via auctions.
If you see the "Buy Now" option in a vehicle’s profile, it means that the car can be purchased right away from the catalog for a fixed price, without auctions. With BuyNow option, you can simply calculate 10% from the fixed price, - but not less than $400, - credit your AuctionExport Profile with an initial deposit and get the car reserved.
If there is no price, just “Current Bid” in a car’s profile, the car will be sold at the auctions. It is not possible to predict the last price until the bidding is finished. In such case, you can only check similar vehicles price statistic results from previous auctions to learn potential rates.
