Tom DelaTorre provided terrible customer service. In preparation for a military PCS move, Tom promised me 5/27 and 5/28 that he had everything he needed to get me a transport for my SUV shipment cross country. As our move day approached, I repeated e-mailed and called all of Tom's contact numbers asking for confirmation that he was securing a shipper for our Jeep. He never returned a single phone call or e-mail. When I finally gave up on Tom and Mercury Auto Transport, I found out through the other agent I worked with at the last minute that Tom/Mercury had never even posted my car on the national boards. They just flat out dropped the ball and then didn't have the moral courage or integrity to admit the mistake, muchless apologize for it. Had I relied on this company, I would have been in a horrible hurt locker because they didn't follow through. This is not the way to run a business, treating customers like trash. Highly recommend you avoid them and advise your friends to avoid them too.

Hi Jason, We are very sorry for the headache, and for any inconvenience. I would like to explain as your review is very one sided. Tom was out of contact with the customer for a few days while he was out of town We do see you spoke with tom on 5/27 5/28. Tom was out of town from 6/1 to 6/6 . Drivers schedule on average about 3-5 days before your pick-up date as they don't want to promise dates they can not keep. Your order was to be posted on 6/6 with plenty of time to get it scheduled. We apologize if there was a mis- communication or if tom was not clear on his schedule and when he would place your order on the board . We understand you got nervous when you couldn't get in touch with tom for a couple days . By the time we got back to you had already gone with another broker Sincerely, Management
