Can I change my first available shipping date?

Question 6

What is the First Available Shipping Date?

Accepted Answer

The earliest day your car is available for pickup is known as the First Available Shipping Date. It serves as the starting point for scheduling but is not a guarantee for the pickup date. In order to match your shipment with the next available driver in your area, carriers use this date to plan routes.

Question 7

Can I place an order if I don't know the exact address?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Just the city and ZIP code for pickup and delivery can be used to schedule your shipment. Once your information is verified, you can update the exact addresses later. This enables you to finalize your moving plans and secure a carrier and price.
