Okay, so today I booked my car to be shipped to Lemoore from Jacksonville through DAS. Does anyone here have any experience with them? They had a very good price compared to the other places I checked out, beating most by $250 or so, combined with having a good reputation from what I could discover.

Direct auto shippers?

If so DONT go with THEM. They ask for what date you want your vehicle shipped and then they have up to 1 week to pick it up. Dont ask me why. When you choose a date thats the date you want ya know? And then it takes up to 2-3 weeks to get your vehicle. So I opted to go with someone different. It was June 21st, I was flying out the 22nd and they STILL had not found a carrier for my vehicle nor scheduled it to ship since they had up to 7 days after my date and duh I wouldnt be there. So I went thru someone else. it was 100 bucks more but I got my vehicle faster and it shipped same day

No, it is Dependable Auto Shippers. They are a direct carrier, not an agent. That was what I was looking at with many of them. The agents are more expensive and can't guarantee a pickup date. Now, they can't give an exact drop off date - from what I read in the research was they are only supposed to give you an estimate. Ours is expected to be in Lemoore around the 16th of October, which is fine because we won't get there until the 18th. Our friends are going to receive the car for us. Also with this place, there is no cancellation fee, so if anything happens where we change our mind, it won't cost us anything.

Hi Crystal! Looking forward to getting out there, hopefully in housing if we are lucky....they told us to call on Sept 1st to see what the wait is at that time. A couple weeks ago they said 1-2 months.

I think that's who we used to ship one of our cars from San Diego to Virginia Beach. I'll have to check with DH when he gets home. He has one of their keychains. If it is them, they were great. We didn't have any problems.

Jax to Lemoore is $759 with this company. I imagine it is pretty close to the same to Great Lakes, maybe $100 less.
