Mr. Machado contracted with Ship Your Car Now. In order to best satisfy this move, we advised Mr. Machado to have his vehicle moved from New Hampshire to North Bergen, NJ, stored at a terminal over night, and then moved from North Bergen, NJ to the ultimate destination of California. Mr. Machado agreed to this and we began arrangements. Mr. Machado paid an initial payment to Ship Your Car Now, with a balance due on delivery to the second carrier.
When the vehicle was delivered to Mr. Machado, he inspected the vehicle and signed a BOL release that the vehicle was acceptable. It wasn't until the next day that Mr. Machado notified us of the damage to the vehicle. Ship Your Car Now immediately provided insurance information for both carriers used in the transport of his vehicle. The first being Pina Auto Transportation and the second being Ambela. Mr. Machado was instructed by Ship Your Car Now to immediately report the damage to the responsible insurance company.
Though Mr. Machado entered into an agreement with Ship Your Car Now, the company was only obligated to provide a carrier with insurance to transport the automobile. Allegedly, the carrier damaged the automobile during the transport. While unfortunate, surely this issue was not caused by Ship Your Car Now. We kindly advised Mr. Machado of this reality and provided him with the necessary insurance information to make a claim. We are very disappointed with this outcome and tried every possible avenue of relief to correct the situation, including a full refund of his money (though this issue occurred at no fault of Ship Your Car Now). However, it does not appear Mr. Machado pursued the proper avenue for relief and instead, chose to vent on this site to Ship Your Car Now detriment.
We still encourage Mr. Machado to seek relief from the carrier's insurance company responsible for the damage and hope that his vehicle is repaired quickly and correctly.
If Ship Your Car Now can be of any more help, please do not hesitate to call us at 888.532.8805.
