This was one of the worst experience ever. Texbiz gave me a quote for $775 I sent them a check for $100 to hold the date and I asked them if they need anything else, but they said :NO.I asked them about the contract, but they said, that I shouldn't worry about that : "We have you in our schedule" So I sent them signed contract as soon as I could, which was 1 week before car should be picked up. On April 8 (car pick up day) I called them to find out that, my car is not going to be picked up after all.!!!!!!!!They were surprised and they didn't have anybody to pick my car up.!!!!!!!!!!Since few days gone by and they didn't find anybody I started calling different shipping companies for help, to find out that the quote they gave me,was unreasonably to low and no one what's to pick up my car. Then I found out that they raised the price for my car for $200 more to match other prices, without telling me that. Their story was : that shipping my car to New York will be 1200, so they need me "help" them paying for it, by paying additionally $200, so they can cover the rest. I asked them for the proof of such transaction- they never showed that to me (????)Oh well. At the end my car was 2 weeks late which cost me additionally $700 for car rental....on top of $100 and another $870 I spent to get my car- You do the math. I guess I can conclude with : do yourself a favor and DO NOT use texbiz. Thank you and have a great day.
Sincerely
Magdalena

Ms. Magdalena, Next time please mention that you did not send in the terms of agreement 3 days before the vehicle needed transport in which you were told to sign and fax back asap which was a week+ and you were asked before signing to READ very carefully and make sure that understand the T.O.A. Our Terms of agreement does state that your vehicle cannot be assigned to a driver until it is signed and faxed back to Texbiz, We did mention that once we have all the information it will be a window of 7-10 days from posting for your vehicle being picked up. Theres is no way that somebody told you not to worry about the contract because it is required by our company that we cannot post a vehicle on our dispatch board without a terms of agreement if done so there will be consequences due to the fact that the T.O.A protects the company.
