My shipment was supposed to be done on a Sunday. It was Friday afternoon and still have not got confirmation of date/time of pick up. Spent all day calling them to have a confirmation. Never got a confirmation until late night on Friday. To make things worse, they told me that the cost was going to be more than what the quoted it. Almost double the price. I asked for an open carrier but they said they could not get one. Why wait till the last minute? I guess, they thought, that because of the time frame I was going to say Yes because I had no choice. Besides all the time I lost waiting for them also they wanted to get more money from me. I finally did not do business with them. Very unprofessional. Would not trust them again. Would not recommend them at all.

We apologize to the customer for being upset but we did everything we could to get a driver into a very narrow window the customer provided. First of all we tell every customer we talk to we can not guarantee pick up or delivery dates, especially a Sunday. We ask for at least a 48 hour pickup window for every move. We talked to the customer nearly every day leading up to the move date, but as a broker, until we get a driver that can do the exact dates this particular customer needed we cant confirm anything. We did finally find one that fit the dates the customer needed it just happened to be an enclosed trailer and $350 more because it is a better service. As his broker we are going to offer the customers everything we get, especially if it fits their needs, it is up to them to say yes or no. We then told him we would call him Monday with another option. We located another driver at a cheaper price that fit his needs and he proceeded to say he no longer needed the service. Again we try to meet all our customers needs logistically as best we can but, especially when there are so many moving parts, its hard to get a driver to pick up and deliver in such tight windows.
