Needed the car delivered on a specific day and told Jorge I would take the carrier's higher than quoted offer if they could promise to deliver it on this exact day. He said he would check. He got back to me and said it would work. I agreed to the carrier's price. Carrier did NOT deliver on the promised day which was extremely problematic and costly to me, then carrier blamed Amerifreight and assumed no responsibility. (Carrier also suggested I contact him directly for shipping from now on and leave the middle man out of it, but told me that was "just between us.") Spoke to Jorge at Amerifreight about carrier saying he was never informed and now Jorge reminds me that they can never promise exact shipping dates. I said explicitly that I would only accept this carrier's offer if it could be delivered on the specific day, so he took my money aware of this request and reassuring me it would be done, he certainly did not try to remind me that they could not guarantee it. If I could, I would get my money back and give it to an honest company. But neither the carrier nor Amerifreight is willing to reimburse me.

Negative reviews on our services are always taken very seriously. We do all we can to build trust with our customers. We never intend to be dishonest or deceive in any of our dealings. That would serve no purpose. From our overwhelmingly positive reviews it is evident that we always try to be transparent and clear in all our communications with our customers. In this case we did get a confirmation from the carrier that he would be able to deliver on the day required. Unfortunately carriers may find that their schedules change that may lead to different pickup or delivery times. It is however not acceptable that customers should be inconvenienced due to these inconsistencies. Furthermore the conduct of this carrier to solicit business outside our agreement is unacceptable. We have added this carrier to our blocked list and will not use their service any more. To our customer, we want to respond that we did all we said we would and yes with an economy saver rate no pickups or deliveries are guaranteed, but we did convey the message that the carrier agreed to deliver on the required date. It is unfortunate that they did not keep to their promise. Every bad or sad experience is always a learning moment for us and we will do our best to avoid this from happening again.
