GARLAS LLC acts as an authorized logistics agent and broker to coordinate land and ocean transportation of vehicles, motorcycles, boats, and vessels within the United States, to and from Puerto Rico, and to Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador). GARLAS is not a direct carrier but a licensed logistics intermediary (broker) registered with the DOT and FMCSA.

GARLAS coordinates transport through certified land and ocean carriers but never takes physical possession of the vehicle. Responsibility for loss or delay lies with the carrier or shipping line executing he transport. Ocean shipments are also subject to the carrier’s Bill of Lading terms. Pickup and delivery dates are estimated and not guaranteed.

The customer must provide accurate vehicle information, prepare the vehicle properly, submit valid documentation, be present or appoint a representative at pickup and delivery, inspect and sign the Bill of Lading, and report any claims within 48 hours after delivery.

Vehicles that are inoperable or modified must be disclosed at the time of booking. Oversized or altered vehicles may incur extra charges or be rejected. If a running vehicle becomes inoperable during handling or transport, the customer will be responsible for additional winch or special handling fees.

No personal items are allowed inside the vehicle (only factory-installed accessories). Firearms, flammable liquids, drugs, money, and documents are prohibited. Any undeclared items travel at the customer’s sole risk and may cause the vehicle to be held by port or customs authorities.

Cancellations before carrier assignment: no fee. After assignment or dispatch: $150 USD minimum administrative fee. If the vehicle has been loaded or handed to the carrier, additional charges may apply. Cancellations must be submitted via email to info@shipshippersusa.com. Phone or chat cancellations will not be accepted.

All payments must be completed in full prior to shipment or as stated on the order confirmation. C.O.D. payments must be made in cash, money order, or cashier’s check—personal checks or cards are not accepted. Vehicles may be stored at the customer’s expense if delivery is refused or payment is incomplete. Late invoices accrue 1.5% monthly interest.

GARLAS is not liable for damage or loss. Claims must be filed directly with the carrier or shipping line in accordance with applicable laws (Carmack Amendment or Carriage of Goods by Sea Act). GARLAS will assist in providing carrier details upon request.

The maximum liability of GARLAS for any claim shall not exceed the service fees paid for brokerage services. GARLAS does not guarantee delivery times, profit, or future market conditions.

The customer agrees to indemnify and hold GARLAS harmless from any claims, fines, or losses arising from false information, legal violations, or damages caused by unauthorized or unreported items.

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Miami-Dade County unless arbitration is mutually agreed. For Puerto Rico or Central America operations, local maritime laws apply.

Nothing in this agreement constitutes partnership, employment, or agency. GARLAS and the customer act as independent entities. These Terms supersede all prior agreements.
