Beware the bait and switch!!! I was quoted for $995 for a June California to Minnesota shipment of my sedan. I expected the real price to be a few hundred dollars higher, no problem. However, I hear nothing from the agent until 7 days before I fly out and he tells me that the only offer he has so far is for $2,150. That's right - more than double the quote they gave me. So I say no, that's ridiculous you're asking for over $1000 more than the original estimate - how could an experienced company be that off? Fast forward and I hear nothing until 2 days before I fly out. There's only 1 more offer and that one is for $2,250 (probably because it's so last minute...). Fortunately the trucking company (Red Dot transportation) was solid and delivered my car in good shape. Between the stress of potentially not being able to have my car shipped on time and the extremely high price, this broker really let me down. I will never use them again.

We apologize for the frustrations this customer experienced. Customer satisfaction is always our top priority! We have looked into the details of this order, and it seems that the customer opted for our Economy rate, which is explained in detail both by our customer service agents over the phone and in writing. This option allows for customers to receive multiple shipping offers from carriers, of which they have total control over making the final decision to accept an offer or wait for one that better suits their price range. This rate often saves customers hundreds of dollars on their auto shipments. We only suggest this rate for customers with wide open time frames, as it often can take a bit longer than our other rate options, in order to secure a carrier at the lowest rate. It is extremely important to us to always be transparent with each and every customer, as we understand the frustrations that can come with competitors in the industry who will over promise and under deliver. We hope that this customer will give us a chance to assist them with their future shipping needs.
