Buying a car online? Build the delivery handoff earlyA practical Infinity guide.

Why it matters

Start with the details that change the plan.

Coordinate the seller, release, vehicle status, carrier, and receiving inspection before pickup day. A useful transport discussion begins with the actual vehicle, exact locations, available dates, access, condition, and the people responsible for each handoff.

Build a complete starting brief

• Origin and destination ZIP codes or port locations
• Vehicle year, make, model, dimensions, modifications, and operability
• Earliest pickup date and the real arrival priority
• Open or enclosed preference, if already known
• Pickup and delivery access constraints
• Named contacts available at both ends

Separate estimates from confirmations

Early pricing and timing discussions may depend on information that is still changing. Before relying on a plan, ask for the agreed scope, provider role, equipment, pickup window, delivery estimate, responsibilities, exclusions, insurance information, and commercial terms in writing.

Inspect the handoffs

Vehicle condition records, clear photographs, keys, documents, access, and receiving availability all affect the quality of the pickup and delivery experience. Keep copies of the final agreed instructions and raise any exception through the confirmed process.
