Our Process

A SIMPLE STRAIGHTFORWARD CONSIGNMENT PROCESS

imageSTEP 1 - REGISTRATION PROCESS

After both parties have settled on an agreement, Buyer must register on www.transportation-collaborative.com and initiate the transaction. Once the registration is complete, TRANSPORTATION COLLABORATIVE, INC. will contact the Seller to approve the transaction.

imageSTEP 2 - PAYMENT PROCESS

Once we have the Sellers approval, the transaction officially starts and TRANSPORTATION COLLABORATIVE, INC. will send an Invoice to the Buyer. The Invoice will contain important information about the transaction and Step-by-Step instructions on how to send and confirm the payment with our Financial Department. Once the payment is received, it will be secured into a trusted account for safe keeping until the transaction is complete.

imageSTEP 3 - SHIPPING PROCESSS

The shipping starts in 24/48 hours from the payment confirmation and it usually takes between 7 to 10 days to be completed. Once your vehicle has been shipped, your Transaction Status page will update automatically and you will also receive a separate notification email with the necessary shipping information.
During shipping, all vehicles are insured against damage, loss, theft, etc.

imageSTEP 4 - DELIVERY & INSPECTION PROCESS

Your purchase will include a walk through with a certified technician at time of delivery (Delivery Inspection) to insure all mechanical items are in good working order or said condition.. This is a time for you to see all items in good working condition and ask any specific questions related to operation and use, perform test drives, or even have your own mechanic at the site.

The 7-Day Money Back Guarantee starts once the Delivery Inspection is complete, signed by the Buyer and confirmed by the TRANSPORTATION COLLABORATIVE, INC. Certified Technician at the time of delivery.

imageSTEP 5 - FINAL APPROVAL PROCESS

Once the 7-Day Money Back Guarantee is over, the Buyer must give it's final approval. If the vehicle is approved, TRANSPORTATION COLLABORATIVE, INC. pays the Seller and the transaction is complete. If returned, the vehicle must be in the same condition as it was at the time of the delivery Inspection and with no more than 300 miles on it (only for vehicles with odometers and does not include shipping distances). Refund requests must be completed within the 7-Day Money Back Guarantee period and are processed in maximum 3 working days. The refund process will also reverse the shipping process and TRANSPORTATION COLLABORATIVE, INC. will collect the vehicle at the Sellers expense.

PAYMENTS

The Invoice contains detailed information about your transaction and the payment instructions needed to complete the transaction safely. The Buyer will have Step-by-Step instructions on how to send and confirm the payment with our Financial Department, and also have a live update of the entire process by simply checking the Transaction Status page. Once the payment was verified, it will be placed in one of our trusted accounts for safe keeping.

Financing: We do not finance. Buyers must have funds ready before starting a transaction.

Our accepted payments policy gives Buyers and Sellers online convenient payment options. To help ensure a safe marketplace, you can only use our approved payment methods. Our payment methods depend on our Terms of Use, the level of online security and availability at the time of the transaction.

Based on the marketplace, We accept the following payment methods:

  • Bank Wire Transfers are immediate, reliable, and safe.
  • Bank Wire Transfer offers security as both parties (Sender & Recipient) are automatically verified and identified by the Bank institution in the funds transfer process. To open a Bank account, the Bank institution will require Identity verification and proof of address. Legal institutions are involved in the verification process and that makes any transaction safer.
  • Bank Wire Transfer use the secure SWIFT network. The SWIFT network sets international standards for moving money between countries. Our Banking institutions are members, which means that money You transfer in the country or overseas is easily traced all the way from Your account to the recipient. SWIFT transfers use unique codes to make sure Your money ends up in the right place. Learn more about Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT).
