Has anyone shipped a car recently? I had a shipper lined up, then he did a "bait and switch" with me on the price. Looking for good/bad experiences.
Shipping from the LA area to the BI.

You've essentially got 2 companies - Pasha and Matson - with Matson being much larger. I've shipped multiple cars out of the Bay Area and LA (cars I've moved with (Bay Area) and I usually buy new in LA and ship to Hawaii) and found Matson to be very easy. I'm sure Pasha is the same.

Go direct with those companies - no need to use the middleman "shippers"

We drove our cars to Long Beach ourselves, so didn't need a middleman. I've heard good things about Kona Car Guy. Maybe you could post on Konaweb for some more input.

I think Pasha will pick up from home - but a better option if you can do it is give power of attorney to a family member or friend and have them drop it off - much cheaper. Pay your friend or family members via dinner and Uber. Pick up from home is expensive - and you might get the Ferris Bueller treatment
