Signed electronic document on Friday night, cancelled on Saturday. Made calls/emails to State 2 State on Monday before funds had been taken from my account, trying to advise them to cancel the order.

On Tuesday they inform us our deposit is non-refundable. Why? You did nothing. You did not schedule a pick up date for my vehicle, you did nothing. Their website states the following:

Q. If I cancel my order, will I recieve a refund?
A. Here with State 2 State auto transport we do not steal money. We feel if the service is not provided why should we keep your money? And if you give us 7 business days notice prior to your pick up dates to cancel, we will refund your entire deposit.

This is a lie and I will file a dispute with my bank.

Thankfully, Stateway Auto came through for us as promised, they have bent over backwards to help us forget about this negative experience with State 2 State.

Caution: Do your homework. These companies are unforgiving, at least State 2 State is.

This customer was double booked with us and another broker. She set up her order with us and signed the contracts authorizing us to dispatch the order to a driver and to run the deposit on her credit card. Our contracts clearly state that the deposit is NON-refundable during window of pick up and the customer cancelled within our terms. She did not cancel 7 days prior to pick up, she cancelled within the pickup dates. The customer signed the contracts and is now claiming we are stealing her money while she was booked with two different brokers and obviously has to dispute with one of us. If you look at our ratings, we are a honest company, but we cant do anything when customers book orders with different brokers and end up making someone waste their time working on the order.
