Two questions:

1). Was your shipper able to deliver your car inside the gate to your home or did you have to go somewhere to pick it up?

2). What shipper did you use?

Thanks in advance!
My two cents worth for free. I would call the villages offices, you will find them to be helpful. People here, including me, my pseudo name is DAVES. Should you have a problem, DAVES said, has no value at all. I would expect, it would be less expensive if you pick it up at the carriers distribution center compared to delivery to your home. Also, I would want to get the car in daylight so you can inspect it for possible damage. I would expect the carrier will ask you to sign a bill of lading saying the car arrived in good condition. You will be in a very weak position if after signing you find damages you did not see.
