Can anyone comment on this broker/shipping firm?
I'm considering an out of state purchase and the seller wants me to pay and ship through this company. A little hesitant.

Jim/GA · 08-22-2023, 05:07 PM

I would be very cautious. Very.

It sounds like a scam.

It might be legitimate, and then I am sorry to trash talk them, but it sounds shady.

LeonardS · 08-22-2023, 05:21 PM

No way! This has scam written all over it.

I think that once you pay for the car, it's yours. That means YOU decide what you do with it, NOT the precious owner. If the seller is not happy with that, I'd walk.

Google Vettron Global LLC and see what you can find.

I am not sure why the seller wants you to use a particular shipper, unless he has some level of comfort in dealing with him. I see no negative feedback about this company & the gentleman that created the LLC in 2016 not only gives his full name, but has a physical address which to me being a business owner since 1983 is very important...Here it is!

The Registered Agent on file for this company is Bobby Batts and is located at 301 Breezewood Dr, Fredericksburg, VA 22407-0000. He also has a FaceBook page if you are on FB. This is NOT a recommendation what so ever, just posting information. I would however NEVER pay through a 3rd party.

I don't believe the OP said what the item was that he was shipping, if it is a vehicle, he is more than welcome to send me a P.M. for a cash on delivery price quote or if I cannot help, a recommendation for another Quality, Honest Transporter!

God Bless

When you look up the company the address is a house and the company has one employee, annual income is 75K. CEO Bobby Batts.

Bob,

Absolutely no offense meant towards you, but I find it funny some of the things we can find on the internet! I think the $75k annual income is just a "stock" answer posted by these info companies as that is the same amount they have down as my companies annual income when I happened to notice it 10 years ago, even though I never gave them ANY information. If that were true....I may consider staying home & not missing out on so many family things + getting more done on my cars! LOL

This company might be legit or they might be a criminal...No real way to tell by what is available on line! The part about working from home & being the only employee also does NOT mean good or bad. I got rid of my employees when I moved to my new location in 2004, am my only employee & have been blessed with a reputation as one of the best in my industry....Just so hard to tell with all the "internet propaganda" these days. Anybody can be anything they want to be with their own website!

Here is my place since '04

God Bless
Bill
