PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF ESTIMATES
The difference between the trade of goods and the services sector lies in pricing and delivery: while in the first, prices can be fixed and availability or delivery is immediate, the provision of services depends on a wide range of variables to be effectively provided and quantified: such is the case of the transport industry, where many factors can affect rates and shipping times. Let´s take a closer look specifically at car shipping timeframes.
ESTIMATES
An estimate is an approximate calculation, not a promise, as accurate timelines are difficult to predict. Regarding the pick-up and drop-off timeframes, M&M VEHICLE TRANSPORT normally gives a range of 2-3 days to deliver a vehicle, trying the most to respect a stated timeframe.
