Default Need help shipping JK

Hey guys, I'm a new JK owner. I actually bought a JK from this website, however I am having trouble getting it shipped to colorado from maryland. I am currently going through my second shipping company/broker (magiccarpet) and am not making any progress. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

X2, be careful with that. Especially with money transfer.

Offer to fly to Maryland to pick it up yourself. If its a scam the person will come up with a reason you can't do that. I hope it's not a scam but these people are relentless.

Somebody recently told me about a website where people bid on your shipping job. You don't have to go with the low bidder depending on their feedback. I wish I could remember that website.

ive shipped many jeeps... the best thing to do is find a company that owns their own trucks... most are just brokers give you a low bid and then put it up on a board and wait for a trucker going your way to accept the load for the amount they quoted.. but if they have their own trucks then no problem.. not sure if they run that route but ive had good luck with coast to coast transport.. look them up.. ive used them twice and they have the own trucks and family owned.. worked for me.. good prices. good luck.. i know it can be very frustrating. never give any place money before they pick up your jeep.... it can be a big hassle to get it back if things dont work out.. also could check out U-ship.

No scam here. The seller (me) is a long time member here.

Or is all of your time on the forum part of an elaborate well thought out scam...
