Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Local presence: OPENLANE lists a Mesa office at 1620 S Stapley Dr, Suite 232, Mesa, AZ 85204 (Mon–Fri 7:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.). This appears to be an office address; OPENLANE US operates as a fully digital dealer-to-dealer marketplace (no public in‑lane sale at Mesa and no local storage yard is published). Apps: Dealers buy/sell via the exact app name “OPENLANE US” (iOS). Sellers can also use “OPENLANE Seller” (iOS). Inspection staff use “OPENLANE Uploader” (iOS). European app names like “OPENLANE Inspect” and EU FAQs (e.g., PuA/CMR) are region‑specific and do not reflect US processes. For US pickups, sellers receive a unique gate code in the sale confirmation email for pickup verification.
Pickup Rules
OPENLANE coordinates transport from the selling dealer’s location. Sellers receive a unique gate code in the sale confirmation email to verify the identity of the pickup party. OPENLANE carriers must provide pickup and delivery proof via the app/process designated by OPENLANE, including signatures. Typical in‑state deliveries are completed in 5–7 business days; 7–10 business days may occur due to weather/other factors.
