Click and Bait Scammers. Do not use this company! The process; this company will promise to transport your vehicle for an agreed amount + a deposit. They will take your deposit up front $200.00. However, when the time comes for your vehicle to be shipped to you, you will not hear back from them. Instead, they will claim that they could not find a transportation carrier coming down the route where your vehicle is located and or the vehicles destination. They will then offer to connect you with a carrier in the next 36hrs for an additional $ 500.00, significantly increasing the cost from the original contract. The only payment option they will accept is cash, zelle, cashiers check, anything but a credit card! It's a total switch and bait and a total scam. The initial broker fee of $ 200.00 that is due at the time of making a pickup reservation is taken by any form of payment. This company had a whole month to find a carrier and they did not find one and did not notify me until I made many calls, all of which were unreturned. The agent told me I could cancel and would be issued my $200.00 dollar deposit. I cancelled and went with another company to transport my vehicle. I still have not received my deposit back. I have made many attempts by phone and email, all of which have gone unanswered. This company has failed to honor their promises, as I have every email and text from this company showing the broker assuring me that my vehicle would be picked up on the scheduled date, and there would be no price increases. After the deal fell through, the same agent "Ray" assured me I would be getting my $200.00 deposit back within 5 business days and I still have not received anything back to my original form of payment. Many calls and emails sent, all of which have been ignored. This company is a scam and the ethics to which they operate under are also a scam. This company has had so many bad reviews telling the same things. They should be put out of business.Give me back my money!

Unfortunately the pickup location in West Seneca, NY was very difficult for carrier companies to build a trip around. The main reasons were lack of other shipments in that area coming from that location to the same destination area in Texas (other than the customers shipment) and lack of shipments going to that area from any major city nearby. This meant that carriers had to drive empty to the pickup location and not have enough cars on the way back to make that trip work logistically. The customer was also working with multiple other brokers and neither were able to secure a carrier for them for the same exact reasons. We did extensive work on this order. The reasons mentioned above was why the carrier company we were able to secure for Gloria asked for more than the listed price. Its not very fair or honest to call that process or our company a scam when in reality we did a ton of work on getting a carrier for Gloria and when she cancelled her order, we issued her a full refund. We were never paid for the work we did and we actually lost money on the move due to labor and processing fees. Where is the scam? There is also never any obligation to use a carrier we share with customers and shippers can cancel their order at any time and get a full refund of their booking fee. We did everything in our power to help Gloria get a carrier ASAP but due to circumstances out of our control there were no carrier companies willing to go there for less. We sent her a refund confirmation once she cancelled the shipment with us explaining that refunds can take 5-7 business days to reflect. We reached out to Gloria yesterday to confirm if she received the refund but she has not responded to us. Thank you.
