I came across Lamsam Logistics while looking for a car anyone had any experiences with them?

Evening all,

I’ve been browsing around for a dependable used car and came across a 2021 Skoda Kodiaq listed at a price that’s noticeably lower than similar ones elsewhere. The seller is Lamsam Logistics, based in Belfast.

From what I can see, they’re mainly a shipping and transport company but have recently added a section dealing with repossessed vehicles sourced from UK bank auctions.

I’m naturally cautious, so before I commit to anything, I wanted to ask if anyone here has actually had dealings with Lamsam Logistics.

Cheers!

Glad you started this thread, I’ve been watching a 2022 Ford Puma ST-Line they’ve advertised and had the same doubts. The prices look great, but that also makes you pause and wonder what the catch might be. It would definitely help to hear from someone who’s gone through the whole process.

Good evening everyone,

I bought a 2020 Volvo V60 from Lamsam Logistics around a month ago. The funds went into their segregated account, and the car arrived six days later. I won’t lie! I was nervous until the transporter turned up, but the car arrived in excellent condition, freshly cleaned inside out, and exactly as described. No unpleasant surprises at all.
I hope this helps, and good luck

I did a bit of background checking on Lamsam Logistics myself. They’re properly registered and easy enough to reach by phone I spoke with someone called Daniel, who clearly explained how their payment process works and why the funds are held separately until the buyer confirms everything is okay.

My brother-in-law has been driving lorries for Lamsam Logistics for several years now, and he’s always spoken highly of them.
From what he’s told me, they’re well organised and pretty strict about doing things properly. He’s mentioned that all repossessed vehicles they sell are inspected before being listed and come directly from recognised UK auctions.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I’ve decided to go ahead and make the payment tomorrow. Still a bit nervous, if I’m honest, but reading real experiences here has helped. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes.

Hi, just to add another angle, I used Lamsam Logistics recently to transport a 2019 Mazda CX-5 I bought privately. It wasn’t a repossession, just delivery only, they handled everything perfectly. The car arrived on time and in great condition.

I’ve used them several times for moving goods between France and the UK. Always reliable and good with communication. My niece also bought a 2023 Nissan Qashqai through their repossessed car section a few months ago. The car looked almost brand new, and the price was far better than what local dealers were asking.

I’ll be honest, my delivery was two days later than originally expected when I purchased my first repo car, which did make me anxious at the time but Lamsam Logistics called me as soon as they knew there would be a delay and kept me updated. When the car arrived, it was flawless. 

So despite the wait, I was very happy with the outcome.

An update for anyone following this thread the Kodiaq arrived late last night. I’ve booked it in with my mechanic for a check, but first impressions are excellent. Really glad I went ahead with it.

Worth mentioning I had to return a car I bought from Lamsam Logistics earlier this year due to unexpected family circumstances, not because there was anything wrong with the vehicle. They were understanding, arranged collection within 48 hours, and refunded me the same day after confirming my bank details!
