Used this company before with no problems, BUT!
I have used this company before with no problems. As a matter of fact, they did a great job. This time, I was told that my ship date was "No Problem." I had used the company before and had expectations. I had a complicated shipment, and it involved two cars. I sold (traded) my car for another car in Ohio. I needed my car to go to Ohio and the other car to come to me in Virginia. I was not told by the dealer that it mattered which was shipped first. I also pointed out I had a drop-dead date of Thursday the 24th of September. I needed everything done by tomorrow, the 23rd. The company arranged a shipment of the car I was purchasing in Ohio, but the dealer would not release the car. So, they claim I cancelled the order and I am subject to the fees. It is after 1 PM on Tuesday, the day before my deadline and I have repeatedly called to ask what is going on, because the information coming to me is never forthcoming, I have to ask about it. So, when I cancel the order, I am told I didn't read the contract and am subject to fees. I was asked by the coordinator just a moment ago, "...if I can't get you a shipment, what do you want from me?" I want you to not tell me, "OK no problem on your ship date." I want you to tell me all the things up front that are being told to me today by the coordinator. Impending strike, CDL crack-down, no drivers, drivers want more money, etc. etc. Then I sign a contract and you can't deliver, and when you can't deliver, I am lectured on reading the contract? Your company is a bait and switch company. You lie to entice the mover to accept a contract that you know can't be delivered, then when you can't deliver, you tell the customer to read the contract. I asked for a cancellation and refund of my fees, and I am told how hard everyone was working to get my load scheduled. Posting on a board is hard work? I paid $300 for two $150 commissions and $350 x 2 for two individual shipments. $1,000 total dollars out of my pocket. What does the coordinator say today? He can't get it done, the drivers, want more money, and then has the gall to tell me all HIS problems? Why give me a price and contract and then I pay and you can't get the job done? Now they won't refund my fees (as of this writing). Citing contract wording. This is the last time I will ever use this company, even if they give me a refund. They were unfaithful and deceitful from the start. Something has changed at this company since I used them last. It is not for the better either. Be Ware!
