Absolute Nightmare

Absolute nightmare of an experience.

Tried and am actually still trying to ship my 2002 Jeep Wrangler from a well populated suburb north of Dallas, Texas to Athens, Georgia. Was assigned Eric out of New York City, from the get go he was difficult to reach and abrasive on the phone. Went a whole week after my recommended pickup date with little to no information about when my car was going to be picked up, if I had a driver, if my car was going to be picked up at all. Eric was consistently difficult to reach, the customer service 1-800 number was a nightmare and completely useless, and they continued to feed me bad information.

Called for the umpteenth time this morning and left a scathing voicemail for Eric trying to nail down a carrier for my car, got assigned a carrier and scheduled a pickup time, and the carrier never showed up to pick up my car. Was told incorrect information about how much I would have to pay the driver on the date of arrival in Athens, all in all the worst customer service experience I have ever had to endure, for the sake of your sanity DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

Our sincere apologies if the communications between you, Eric and our 24/7 staff fell short of your expectations, we will certainly address your concerns. Eric, as we discussed, had been in constant communication with your daughter throughout, whom we had as the primary contact on your order, but our apologies that you were not brought up to speed quickly enough as things got hectic in the 11th hour. To lay out some of the particulars that are not currently reflected in your review- the order was placed on the 18th, and your first available ship date was the 21st. After not finding a carrier right away, we reduced our fee and increased the amount allocated for the carrier, so that you would pay the same total amount quoted while still getting dispatched within your time frame. That did the trick and you were assigned a carrier on the 25th (for pick up that day and delivery by the requested 28th delivery date). However, the order was cancelled by you and the driver sent away due to the misunderstanding about the pricing breakdown and what we had changed in our effort to secure the best carrier for you. We appreciate you taking the time to voice your concerns as well as speak with us so that we can avoid situations like this in the future.
