I am sure there are good private shippers out there that are very trustworthy. I got very gun shy when the transporter that the buyer of my Camaro hired to get the car showed up. He strapped the car through the billet rims with motorcycle tie downs. I am talking about the one inch nylon ones you can buy at Home Depot four for $25. Scared the hell out of me. I took all sorts of pictures and emailed them to the buyer so he knew what he was getting.

For the $200 extra it cost me I was able to sleep at night because I had peace of mind. Again, I am sure there are great guys out there dong it, but there are just as many idiots with a trailer as well.
