    Response:Here at Lightning Auto Carriers we enter into a contract for a reason. The definition of a contract is: an agreement with specific terms between two or more persons or entities.. Now in the contract the customer Mr.Rengaswamy entered into "the pick your own price program" witch is a program where we let the customer list the vehicle for a price that is not unrealistic but below what other units are shipping for. The purpose for listing a unit at a cheap rate is to try and get a driver that has a spot open to fill and will take the load for the listed price. Records show that 50% of the time we are successful in getting the vehicle shipped for at least 25% cheaper then what comparable units are shipping for. In this specific contract we are allowed up to 10 business days to render service under this program. The original price quote I gave was for $775.00 witch would be $625 to the driver. At the original price quoted the probability of getting a driver within 24-48 hrs is very high. This is what I had explained to the customer Mr.Rengaswamy wanted to try a total price of $625 witch is $475 to the driver. I followed up with the customer once a day explaining to him that it was not shipping. On 11/4 I had a driver call on the load for $725 witch would be $575 to the driver and $150 to us the broker. He declined and then on the 7th I called to follow up and he had booked the transport with another broker. Now we had done a good amount of dispatch work for the customer and still had sufficient time to move it. The custumer cancelled 5 business days after booking the transport not allowing Lightning Auto Carrier to successfully render the service. If you look at what I do for customers, take a look at my feedback. Thanks I hope everyone can understand. [ view ]

    Response:Muhammad, I am sorry that you did not have a good experience with Lightning Auto Carriers. We are a 5-star rated company and we work very hard to keep the rating as so. To your claims listed above: "These people have given me the wrong quotation and then taken the order. I cancelled the order but they have taken the DEPOSIT of $150 from me." - - - Now, what you have decided to leave out of your stated claim: Muhammad set up his order on October 14th 2011 and his only concern was that we have a carrier have his vehicle dropped off Oct. 30 - Nov. 2. Knowing this route can take up to 7 or 8 days, I distinguished his first available shipping date at Oct. 22. He was aware of this. He signed a contract at a price of $750.00 total (including $150 broker fee), so $600 left for the carrier on delivery. The contract HE SIGNED states there is no guarantee's on dates especially and that surcharges may apply in specific areas. It also states that we do not bill our $150 broker fee until we have assigned said carrier at stated price. So he is at no risk as long as he gives us the 10 business day window we asked for in the contract that again, HE SIGNED. Why he was billed: Carrier called on his vehicle load and gave us his scheduling and pricing. He asked $150 more than quoted amount and we called Muhammad to see if he would be interested in securing this truck so that everything could be booked and taken care of. We told him it was only an option and that we could leave it posted if he was not interested in paying more, but then he reacted. Stated, we are liars and he rather go pay another company the extra money and not us. He asked to have the order cancelled and cancelled over email, even after being told he would be billed for the amount of $150.00. This cancellation occured on Oct 18, which was 4 full days before his "first available pickup date!" He did not give us the slightest oppurtunity to attract a carrier at the lower rate. He was given the lower rate because he wanted to save money but he was explained the risk. Needless to say, I was informed he booked with the same carrier through another broker at the same increased price of $150.00. [ view ]
