FALSE PROMISES AND NO DELIVERY

Original contract for $880 was signed on May 10, 2010. No progress was made for two weeks. Then a driver was located but for a higher price. A new contract was signed on 5/24/10 - new amount $1040. On 5/28 the driver called to say his truck was out of service, and he could therefore not do the pickup. I then contacted Viking and requested that my order be canceled and my deposit refunded. The email chain below speaks for itself. Would you like to do business with this guy? Emails below start with most recent.

We can assign another truck. If not, than take further action. You will loose any disputes with your credit card company since we have signed contracts from you.

You assigned a truck with a driver that is unable to fulfill your contract with him. He does not have a truck at his disposal at this time. He has in all effect canceled the pickup. Based on that fact, I am entitled to a full refund. Your contract is not fulfilled if you assign a driver who is unable to pick up the car. I expect a full refund immediately or will take further action.

If you want we will cancel the truck. But our contract is clear and legal which you agreeed to. Viking is not responsible for unforseen delays on pick up or delivery. And your deposit is only refundable as long as we have not assign a truck to pick up your vehicle, which we have. So you do not qulify for a refund under our Terms and Conditions.
Thank You,
Tony

DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER TO COMPLETE THE PICKUP ON THE DESIGNATED DAY, AND THE LENGTHY AMOUNT OF TIME THAT HAS ELAPSED SINCE I PLACED THIS ORDER, I AM CANCELING IT EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE MAKE NO FURTHER ATTEMP TO SECURE A DRIVER ON MY BEHALF. I EXPECT IMMEDIATE REFUND OF MY DEPOSIT OF $140.

Hi Tony:
I need some idea of when to expect that the car will be picked up in Hanover? Is the delay at the NH side or the CA side? As it's been 11 days since I placed this order, I'm getting very concerned about the pickup. Please let me know what the latest news is on this?

Tony - I haven't heard anything on this order since I made my deposit on Monday. Has everything been confirmed? How soon should I expect to get word on the car pickup from Hanover?
Thank you,
