Granger Ford - Courtesy Delivery Answers

[Granger Ford]

Is there a carrier that you recommend? Or just UShip?

Uship is a broker service, I would see what the other members have used here...they would be of better service to you..

Sorry but unless you have a fleet account it is not a viable option..

There are many here on the forum that tell others that it is there however on mass produced cars i know of no dealer that will accept one from us for you.

If they do the cost is up to them not us

Hi Albert,
First of all, #LoveGrangerFord

Second, I'd like to dig in a little more on the courtesy delivery option. Let's just say, hypothetically, I have a local Ford dealer that agrees to receive and deliver the car to me. Assuming that's true, would you be able to change the ship-to dealer for my order so it is trucked directly to my local dealer from the plant? If so, does the pre-delivery inspection money go to Granger or the ship-to dealer (if there is PDI on a Bronco)?

Assuming I'm not related to a Ford dealer, do you think a local one would take a paltry $500 to unload and unwrap my car or is that unrealistic?

If you find one they will charge you a fee generally to deliver the car for us.

They get paid the PDI money as they are doing the work.

I would need to contact the dealership prior to ordering it to get information that I need for the change of delivery location...

Again not impossible just improbable....

With our pricing model it makes the relationships a bit strained...

Can I choose to not have my vehicle delivery prepped? Meaning not remove the shipping film, wash, etc? This is something I regularly request when I order BMWs so I can prep, clay, and coat it myself.

"... when I order BMWs..." gawd this forum is getting icky!

Courtesy Delivery is a service that dealers perform for the delivery of fleet vehicles.

Courtesy Delivery is a service often used by the Fleet customer because of the multiple destinations their ordered vehicles must be shipped to.

This can be extended to conventional customers but you would need to check with your local dealership to see if they would do it.

Do not be alarmed if they say no..it it their choice not Fords or ours..

The dealer is paid enough to have the car prepped, peel plastic, check fluids put their sticker on the back..

Things like clean, gassed and a proper introduction to your Bronco will most likely not be extended to you.

They call it a key toss in my industry, here's the key there's the car, enjoy it.

Not at all how we want you to be introduced to your new Bronco.

So bottom line is if that is your choice of services then it is on you to arrange with that dealership.

Some special circumstance vehicles are willingly done properly but they are the Ford GT, Shelby 500's etc..rare non common vehicles.

Nope, we’re going to come out and visit y’all when the Bronco comes in. Not a bad drive from the Milwaukee area.

Was a bit sad reading through this again and knowing @Granger Ford was Albert…

He was the perfect balance of “pleasant” and “say it as it is”. Wearing my Albert B6G shirt…
