Felt Scammed for $100.00

Caviness sent me a quote for $800.00.
To quote an exact amount (I assumed they had a driver to haul for that.. not so)
(way too low to ever get it shipped, just a low amount to reel you in and collect YOUR $100.00).
Their quotes are not in reality.. with the fuel they quote way too low... Meanwhile the customer has hope of getting their car shipped.... but not a chance to have it actually happen.

I gave them $100.00 down payment. They sent me a "dispatch" email (Dispatch, I assumed they were dispatching to an actual driver.. not so).

It has been a month, no carrier, no car deliver.. and they kept the $100.00.

As I am writing this email, I see that they have a 2 out of 5 rating.
I would suggest when using any new company for any service that you google the company first and see what others are saying BEFORE sending any down payment.. If I had googled this one first.. I would not have TRIED to shipped with it to begin with..

Hello Karen, I understand that you are not very happy and I am not either. And the price that we quoted you is a good price it is in with the rest. I have printed out a part of one of the sheets on the boards and attached it so you can see. And all together there is over 17000 cars that need to be shipped now. When we post cars on the boards that cost money along with Fax's, Emails and phone calls. We are paid to do the leg work. But what everyone is facing now is the High,High prices of fuel, Some haulers on strike and some just parking there trucks because they can't afford it any more. So It makes it harder on the ones that are still running they can only do so much. So That that makes it harder on us to locate a hauler with a opening. And longer than we like also. The girls were doing everything there was to do to get a hauler for your car. And They do everyday. My Husband and I know how it is we have been doing this over 47 years and it does not get any better. We can Thank the Government and Fuel Company'S for some of this mess. Everyone is feeling this. I am sorry for me going on and on. We have just seen so many changes over the years. I am sorry that it was taking us so long but we would have found a hauler. And the 100.00 that we collect goes to Posting and processing fees that we have to pay, and the girls that work hard to get haulers for all the customers. If you have any questions just let me know. Thank You ! Tammy Caviness
