As far as I'm aware, Gov Liquidation never does shipping.. There are
links on the G/L website for shippers that are "associated". Clicking
the primary shipping link on the G/L site takes you to a list of
shippers organized by locations. Those links take you to an individual
commercial shipper web site that is more or less familiar with the G/L
auction process. Bidders are free to select any shipper willing to go
do pack and ship on a gov't installation. The biggies that have been
discussed here in various threads are Craters and Freighters and
FastTrack Logistics. Both seem to use local shippers as on site reps
except for the larger sites. I've used both with "reasonable" success
- again, there's been discussions of those and others here and YMMV!
The comment about the wait involved a requirement that I'd not dealt
with before - namely that of an EUC or End User Certificate. DLA does a
background check to validate that you are a US citizen when the item in
question is prohibited from sale to a foreign national (Demil Q). That
process took 8 wks. Once completed, G/L releases the item to the
shipper. FastTrack shipped it from OH to CA in 10 days.

The 2 HP 2100's from GovLiquidation arrived a

shape (after waiting some 8 weeks for DLA to decide I'm OK to acquire a
weapon system component.....) Anyway, for anyone interested. there's
I take it from the word "arrived" that GovLiq does shipping? I
thought at one time they were local pick-up only.
How has your experience been with them? I have watched items there
now and then but have never made an account to bid.
