I am not satisfied with this company at all. Their pick-up was much delayed and the delivery was late too. Besides, they increased $5 dollars more after a couple of days later when I first contacted them. They said that since a carrier ask for $50 more, I have to pay this amount if I want to have the car delieverd quicker because they cannot guarantee what the next carrier might be avaible. So I paid extra 50 dollars, but the car was delievered later than I expected from their original explanation. I called them, but I only heard that the delivery time is only approximation, but not guarantees. The car was picked up after 10 days when I signed the contract. It took 14 days for the car to delivered from SF area to Boston. The office manage, named Candy was not kind or helpful\ at all in handling my concern. She only repeated the same thing: nothing was guaranteed. BS I do not recommend this comany to anyone.

Mr. Chung placed his order on Aug. 28th. He chose the Rockbottom shipping option price of $880. Our Rockbottom shipping option is for customers who are not in a time crunch; however, most vehicles are picked up within 1-10 from the first available date. We did explain this to John in detail and we also offer this explanation in writing on the quote and terms and conditions. On Sept. 3rd, 6 days after his first available date, we called Mr. Chung to let him know we had a carrier that could transport his vehicle for him. They could pickup on Sept. 5th and deliver around Sept. 16th. We did explain to him that this carriers spot was $50 more than his quote. We asked him if he would like us to proceed with this carrier or if he would like to wait on another carrier. He chose to go ahead with this carrier at that rate. We never told Mr. Chung his vehicle would be delivered quicker. Mr. Chung did call our office today to complain about his vehicle not being delivered. The carrier has kept him informed of his progress. The driver has left messages for him letting him know that he has been delayed traveling across country and his vehicle will be delivered tomorrow, Sept. 19th. We did indeed tell Mr. Chung that the delivery date is an estimated date. Because the drivers can run into all kinds of unavoidable delays, we cannot guarantee delivery dates. We did our very best to explain everything to Mr. Chung; however, he was very upset and really didnt want to hear anything we had to say. We completely understand Mr. Chung being upset about his vehicle not arriving yet. And the drivers do their very best. We are sorry he feels we have been unkind and unhelpful to him. We never want to make any customer feel this way. We feel we did our very best to explain the situation to Mr. Chung and to inform him of all the details. We apologize for any miscommunication on our part.
