What other fees do I need to pay upon the car’s purchase?
The total cost for your vehicle consists of the car’s price or winning bid, fees and shipping charges. Since vehicles posted on the website come from different auctions, dealerships, insurance companies and car yards, the amount of fees you pay for your car is different in each particular case. Every car’s fees breakdown can be found right under BuyNow or Your Bid buttons on the vehicle page. Shipping cost varies and depends on the current location of the vehicle and its condition.

Bidding/Buying process

How and where do you place my bid / offer?
Once you submit your bid/offer on our website, we will then submit it to the selling auction, insurance company, bank, or the dealer.

If I am the highest bidder at the indicated bidding end time, does that mean that I won the car?
No, this means that you are the highest bidder on our website, and we will submit your bid to the selling auction, insurance company, bank, or the dealer.. If the car is sold by the auction, there are other local and international bidders that are bidding on the same car. There is always a risk of being outbid. However, international buyers (like our members) are willing to pay higher prices for cars in the USA and Canada due to the perceived value of the vehicles or because the cost of repairs and maintenance is still cheaper for foreign buyers. If the car is sold by the insurance company, bank, or a dealer, we will submit your highest bid to the seller, and only if the seller approves your bid, you will win the car. It is your best interest to place a reasonable bid amount to win the car.

What is a “Buy Now”?
“Buy Now” is a fixed price option that allows you to purchase a car right away.

Can I offer lower price than “Buy Now” price?
The "Buy Now" price is typically non-negotiable. However, sometimes you can get a 3% - 5% decrease in the price. Please contact us in regards to this and our team of experts will do everything possible to negotiate the best price for you.

Are there any auction fees for “Buy Now” vehicles?
Yes. You would have to pay the auction fee for the “Buy Now” vehicle; however those fees tend to be much lower than for the live sale vehicles.

How would I know what is going to be an auction fee?
You have 3 days to pay in full for your wholesale vehicle agreement (the invoice). To avoid any kind of late fees and/or penalties it is recommended that you send your payment the same day you made a purchase.

Can I negotiate auction fee?
No, auction fees are non-negotiable.

Ground transportation is done exclusively by Auction Export.

How do I know how far my car is from the exit port?
We have provided a detailed map of the USA on our “Shipping” page. The map provides you with an estimated price of the ground transportation to the nearest exit port. Please note that major exit ports are located in NY (New York), CA (California), TX (Texas), FL (Florida), MD (Maryland).

How can I check the status of my shipment?
We will be notifying you of the status via your registered email. You can also check your Profile under Purchases.

How will my cars be shipped?
Your cars will be shipped by “RORO” or “Container” shipping.

What is “RORO” shipping?
RORO (short for Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping is a type of ocean freight service. RORO shipping is a cost-effective and efficient way to transport cars. This method is available to various destinations and does not involve consolidation.

What is “Container” shipping?
“Container” shipping is the most popular way to ship a car. Basically, your car will be loaded inside a 20 feet or 40 feet container, and the container will be sealed.

What is faster RoRo or Container?
Usually, delivering by RoRo is faster than by container. If you vehicle qualifies for RoRo freight and has its Title ready for pickup, one of our drivers will deliver it directly to the exit port for further US customs clearance and loading into the RoRo vessel. If you ship by container, your car will be delivered to our warehouse first so it can be loaded and secured inside its container prior to the further shipping process.

How many cars can be shipped in a 40 feet container?
Usually a 40 ft container fits 3 mid size cars or SUVs, or 4 small cars, such as Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.

What is consolidation?
Consolidation is when you only have one car to ship but you do not want to pay for the whole 40 feet container. Our shipping company will consolidate your car to several popular destinations. For example, if your car is consolidated with 2 other cars in a 40 feet container, you end up paying only 1/3 of the price of the 40 feet container. If there is no consolidation to your port, we can ship a car in a 20” dedicated container.

Which port is better for consolidation?
The most popular port is New Jersey. However, always check with our shipping department regarding consolidation to your destination country prior to your purchase.

How long does it take to get my car?
An average transit time is 45-60 days from time of purchase. Please note that delays may occur due to weather conditions, slow traffic, snow bird season, documentation delay, etc. Please ensure that your payment is received on time.

AuctionExport provides worldwide shipping service. Transportation arrangements are made for more than 100 countries on everyday basis. Since some destinations are more popular than others, the shipping frequency depends on your destination. Please feel free to reach our Shipping department in respect of shipping schedules.

Will my car be cleared upon arrival?
AuctionExport don't provide clearance at the destination port, we will only send you all the necessary documents for you to handle the clearance on your own.
