“Corsia, and Luke in particular, were AWESOME.

Lifesavers, really. After doing a ton of research I narrowed my search for an auto shipper down to 3. Corsia was among those, mainly after reading so many great reviews about Luke.

However, I ended up going with a different shipper (Stateway), mainly because they are a broker and a carrier. I (apparently mistakenly) assumed that, being their own carrier, they’d have a better chance of finding me a carrier, since they wouldn’t have to look very far.. They gave me a great price and then lowered it slightly to match another, lower quote. They promised me a 5-day pickup window, traveling from Bend, OR to Yarmouth, ME, door-to-door! Sam, the salesman, was great and open and honest and responsive throughout the process, answering or returning my calls and emails immediately. Once the contract was signed, I was passed off to Zack, my personal contact for the rest of the shipping process who promised to be there to help me throughout.

Two days before the start of the pickup window I emailed Zack for an update. (Mysteriously, from this point on, Sam was nonexistent. I am all but certain that, once a contract is signed, the salesperson’s phone and email are set to automatically shunt that new customers calls to voicemail and emails to the trash.) Zack eventually responded assuring me that when they have a driver, I will be notified, that this takes some time and not to worry as “we are still a long way out.” (2 days is a long way out?)

When I hadn’t received any notification of their having secured a driver on the last day of the pickup window I emailed them again. This time I eventually received a response from someone named Pam who is the only one I ever heard from from this point on. Now Zack, too, had disappeared. Pam said they were working on it, that the usual pickup window was 7 business days (not the 5 calendar days they had contracted with me) and that they would continue working through the weekend to find me a driver. After that weekend – now 3 days past the pickup date – they first told me that Maine just wasn’t a popular destination, there was only 1 other car coming or going to Maine and so they were having trouble finding a driver who wanted the job. So, I agreed to travel as far as Boston to meet a driver (rather than having the car delivered to my door in Maine) if that was going to make the thing happen. I was assured that would help and that they would now find a driver in the next few days.

Still nothing for a week. I asked at what point are you going to simply say you can’t find a driver and leave me in the lurch? How long will this go on? I was told, “Oh, we never stop looking. We will stay on the job until we find you a driver.” Which sounds nice, but here I am with two little kids, 3000 miles away from my car, indefinitely renting a replacement van at exorbitant summer rates. What to do?

Tail between my legs, I called Luke and explained my situation. He said he’d get right on it and call me back. He called back within a few minutes! He informed that Maine was not the only problem, but that Bend, OR was also too remote and nobody wanted to go there. Could I get the car to Portland, OR? I thought I might be able to find a friend there who could drive my car to Portland, but probably not. Luke said he’d see if he could solve that, too. He called back again a few more minutes later saying he’d found a driver (some guy named Wes; thanks Wes!) who could put my car on a flatbed THE NEXT DAY and drive it to the Portland terminal, where another company (Motion Auto Carriers) would load it on an open carrier THE SAME DAY and take it to Boston or as much further north as possible. The catch, so to speak, was the added $205 it would cost for the flatbed trip! (Plus my expense to get to Boston, of course. Which was about $30 in bus fares and an extra 6 hours of my precious time.) How awesome is that?! Luke also apologetically let me know that he could have gotten be a much better price had I booked the trip with him earlier, that it was only this expensive because it was last minute. Did I mention that it was only $205 more than Stateway had quoted me (and only $165 more than Corsia had originally quoted me back during my research period!) to not get the job done?

From that point on everything went as smoothly as possible, as planned. Wes picked up the van the next morning, flatbedded it to Portland where MAC loaded it onto Alex’s truck and departed to Boston, estimated to arrive on 7/19. Rockin’ Alex got the car to our meeting point in Boston on 7/17 – 2 days before the estimate – in perfect condition and with a smile. Thank you Alex!

Throughout the process, any time I called Luke for and update or with a question, he either answered the phone asap, or responded to my voicemail within minutes. Every time. Never left me worried and wondering, like they did consistently at Stateway. When I was waiting in a random apartment building parking lot in Boston unable to reach Alex by phone (because he was stuck in some nasty and challenging Boston traffic nearby) and beginning to panic a bit, I called Luke who answered immediately, was able to reach Alex, and called me right back to let me know Alex was about 20 minutes away. 5 minutes later, Alex called me as well.

My only mistake in all of this was not having gone with Corsia from the beginning. I hope I never have to ship a car or even move again, but if I do I would not hesitate to call Corsia or to recommend them to anyone looking for an auto shipper. THANKS!”

Looking for a logistics company, to ship my car, from California to Illinois,my first search, then Corsia showed up, skeptical. Call and a very friendly secretary: Elena. She guided me through, I scheduled and as she explained, all when smooth as scheduled Very happy I did the right choice. I'll recommend this great Company to anyone that is thinking to relocate a vehicle. Thanks Corsia logistics for your honesty and professionalism!

Corsia was highly recommended by a friend in the automobile industry. We needed to transport a cargo van from Seattle to Florida. We contacted Corsia who quickly arranged transport within just a few days. Communication was outstanding! Just a few email confirmations and we were all set. Mike was great and arrived right on time and delivered to Florida on schedule. Tip-avoid the hornets nest of auto brokers on line and just contact Corsia for a truly great experience!

Corsia has been amazing. Their prices are really competitive but more importantly their customer service has been 5-Star. Elena followed up with me every step of the way, making sure there was no miscommunication between me & the driver. We are using them to ship a 2nd vehicle & would not hesitate to use them again!

I have recently used Corsia for long time family car with sentimental value that was moved I have recently used Corsia for shipment of my vehicle from Oregon to Arizona by recommendation from other family member who also used Corsia in the past. I am very pleased on the service and the communication throughout shipment. Ken was my direct contact and kept me informed along the move The car was picked up and delivered as communicated. I did use a enclosed mover and the driver was also clean cut professional and treated car as his own. I would definitely recommend Corsia again with the experience I have had. Thank you. T

Corsia rep (Elena) was very proactive. Helped ship a car from CA to GA. She checked in with me via email quote and several phone calls to find me the best possible quote for the fastest available service. After several communications, Corsia was able to schedule a vehicle pickup the next day. The driver communicated well, and the vehicle arrived in final destination faster than we expected in perfect condition. I highly recommend using Corsia's reliable, efficient service.

Thanks, Corsia! Pickup was so clean, efficient, and wonderful -- my only recommendation is to make sure you schedule it during the day so you can fully review the car in the daylight. Drop off was equally wonderful, and the whole trip went down without a hitch (pun intended!). Seriously, Corsia delivered my Jeep from CT to California with no issues or bumps in the road!

Truly positive experience

Corsia Memphis to LA, mid-size SUV. I looked at 4 different companies amd Corsia was the most responsive of them. While being responsive, they were not unduly aggressive: when I indicated that I need to wait a month before making a decision they stopped contacting me and only came back with a reminder when I really needed it. Once I decided to engage Corsia they found me a transport within two days and the car was delivered (from Memphis to LA) in another two days. I had a truly positive experience.

Working with Corsia Logistics was a great experience. Working with Corsia Logistics was wonderful. They were able to find a driver right away to transport our car. They were in constant communication as to when the car was getting picked up and dropped off. The driver also communicated with me as to when he would arrive. I would highly recommend Corsia Logistics.

Excellent Organization

Corsia was an excellent company to work with while I transferred my car across the US. A friend of mine suggested I use them as they had been very organized and trustworthy with her own car. I researched a few different place but decided to go with Corsia and I'm so glad I did! Any questions I had throughout the process they answered quickly and clearly. I would definitely use them again in the future and recommend them for others to use.
