The transporting of my vehicle had been a complete nightmare. To begin I used a broker in Florida arrange the transporing of my car and that is a story in itself.

But, A Unique had a driver today that was the rudest and nastiest person possible. The driver called me today and stated he was going to be delivering my vehicle in 30 to 40 minutes. I explained to the driver that I was at work and my wife was home to sign for the vehicle. My wife called me to inform me the driver was at the house delivering my car and that he was extremely rude. The driver was off loading my car in a shopping center parking lot and refused to drive it 50 feet to my complex parking lot. I did pay for door-to-door service. I called A Unique dispatch and explained that the driver was leaving my car in a shopping center parking lot, the dispatcher asked me if my wife could move it, I told the dispatcher my wife could not drive the car because it was too big for her. The dispatcher stated she was going to call the driver. I called my wife back and she told me the driver peeled out of the parking lot, spinning the tires and parked the car so it was blocking the entrance to my complex and I heard the driver yell in the background "are you happy now?". I immediately called the driver to tell him to stop speaking to my wife in a nasty manner and the driver asked me "who the fuck do think you are?". I started cursing back at the driver and then hung up and called A Unique. I was pissed. I spoke to some guy named Mike and told him what happened. Mike told me door-to-door service doesn't really mean door-to-door service and that he was going to contact the driver. I called back and told Mike that I needed the drivers information, first and last name, plate numbers on the truck, etc. because I was going to have my wife call the police because of the harassment towards my wife and abandoning my car in front of the entrance to my complex, Mike told me that they did their job and not to call them again.

Our driver was trying to deliver this car as close as possible to the address. The truck is very big, and therefore hard to maneuver, therefore, the driver was unable to take it to the door of the customer. He stopped right across the street from the address. The customer walked across the street and told the driver she could not take the car across because it was too big. This did not make sense because it was a sedan. The customer’s husband then called the driver and told him he has to take the truck to the door. My driver let him know that it was not possible, and the customer got angry with the driver. My driver then unloaded the car, and told the customer he would drive it down the street to the apartment complex. He left his truck across the street unattended, and drove the car across the street to the driveway. The customer was very rude to him, although he was trying to give them good service. The husband called the driver again and told him that it was still not to the door, as it was in the driveway of the apartment complex. My driver was very frustrated, but he did not curse at the customer. He left the car in the driveway and went back to his truck. The driver went out of his way to make it more convenient for the customer, but they still were not satisfied. This customer should have given us a positive review for the drivers hard work and for going the extra mile.
