What is Blind Shipping?

Blind shipping is a practice where the identity of the shipper, receiver, or both is concealed during the transportation process. This is often used in third-party logistics, especially when businesses want to prevent the buyer from contacting the original supplier directly.

In the auto shipping industry, it may be used when dealers or brokers manage sales and logistics and want to maintain confidentiality. While rare for personal car shipments, dealership car shipping may use blind shipping under specific agreements.

 

Why Choose Blind Shipping for Vehicles?

Blind shipping is helpful when:

You’re a reseller or broker who doesn’t want clients to see the original source.

You want to protect pricing privacy or supplier relationships.

It’s part of a white-label service.
