Has anyone used a third party shipper/escrow operation to sell or buy a vehicle? If so how was your experience?
Has anyone heard of, or has used ABL Shipping LTD? Your info is much appreciated

Be careful if you're selling something and the buyer has suggested an escrow company. This is a common scam technique. If they offer to buy your vehicle, send you more than you requested, and ask you to pay the shipper when they pick up your car, it's a scam.
Do Not agree to use a third party escrow company, you could end up in a lengthy battle to get your funds and you may end up with empty pockets while the buyer has the vehicle in their possession. I've been fixing up and selling cars for decades and it all boils down to utilizing rock solid Bill of Sale ( A blank BOS is available to all herein, just message me) NO.... Certified checks, PayPal, Western Union or Money Orders etc. Bank wire transfer or CIF aka cash in fist - in person. As the nice Chinese Laundry lady say's: …. " No Tickie - No Shirtie "
The only escrow is your own lawyer that YOU KNOW well, but then why use it? You don't need to.
