Very Poor Communication. No Value Added.

After details of the engagement were clearly communicated and Montway quote was accepted, all details were mismanaged and miscommunicated.

Montway only contributed confusion to the entire process.

Most significantly: They reversed the schedule details of destination and pickup. They miscommunicated and mismanaged all details of driver assignment and scheduling every step of the way across many days. To recount the mishaps would require too much of my time and yours.

In the end, my car was picked up 48 hours later than scheduled even though I required 24 hours notice with Montway. Only reason I continued with the agreement was due to constant communication with the assigned driver (via yet another broker).

Meanwhile, Montway was communicating confirmation, then cancellation, then reassignment during the entire process. Amazing: Montway sent me a confirmation that my car had been picked up - 18 HOURS AFTER.

Bottom line: Montway provides no value. Better you find a DIRECT assignment.

Dear Richard Bird, We are sorry to hear of the miscommunication issues you experienced with your order. Please know we take feedback in serious consideration and we address each and every issue to make sure it is resolved and never occurs again. From your review, we understand that what most likely the issue was delay in the timeframe confirmation emails were sent out to you by our auto-mated system and our technical support has identified the cause and fixed it. No such email delays should occur. It is great to know that the driver we assigned for your shipment kept in constant contact with you to ensure you are informed. The requirement for 24 hour notice is part of the driver's contract and we are surprised to hear now after delivery that he did not give you 24 hour notice. Your order was shipped expedited. You booked the order on 3/9/15 and the pickup was estimate for only 2 days after that - on 3/11/2015. If you refer to this as being 48 hours late (2 days) please note that in fact this is quicker than the estimate 1 to 5 business days for pickup. Since you did not purchase guaranteed date service, the dates will fall within the estimated window. With that said, your order instead of being picked up late was in fact picked up ahead of time, well within the estimated pickup window. It is imperative that customers have a clear understanding of the terms they accept when entering a contractual agreement. We care about our customers and believe in fairness. We did our best to provide you with a top notch service. Technical issues do happen everywhere, but we provide great direct customer care to overcome any issues.
