We first contacted this company at the end of April to get the information before booking our transportation. After several contacts in which we were advised 1 - 5 business days to pick up and 7 - 10 to arrive, based on this and since we needed the car to arrive on the 15th or the 16th of May, we decided to book the transportation on May 4th and we were told that they will get a driver and that the pickup will occur NO LATER than Friday. Friday came and no pick up happened. We got in touch with CS and after several people telling us the pick up was going to occur no later than Friday, we had this bunch of people saying "times are estimated and we are looking still for a driver" they ask us to give them some time until Saturday Morning to Pick up: it did not happen.

Finally, on Monday we got a call saying they found an option and that they will pick up on WEDNESDAY (2 days before the car needed to be on the destination) plus that they increased the rate we were quoted when we place the order in $300 (because %#&% us) and said that prices were as well estimates (which was not advised to us ever nor stated on their website or the email we received) At the end we had to cancel the reservation and look for somebody that at least could keep their word.

Dear Celina Moreno and Eli Blatt, We are truly sorry to have lost your business. It is imperative that customers have a clear understanding of the terms they accept when entering a contractual agreement. Our terms are publicly published on our website, disclosed prior and during booking, written in the customer agreement and within all communications thereafter. We do not provide a 5 day window. We estimate assigning a carrier within 1 to 5 business days. Even though our estimations are highly accurate, just over 95%, we still inform customers we can only provide estimated dates. We want our customers to be clear on these terms so they can make any necessary personal arrangements. Our goal is to transport your vehicle, never to inconvenience our customers in any way. We estimate the dates for multiple reasons, reasons which impacts the entire transport industry. Traffic delays, detours, speed limits, weather delays, mandatory rest stops, pickup/delivery client availability delays, weight station checkups, police inspections, truck breakdowns, driver's health issues, are just some of the issues that cannot be anticipated. We understand this is potentially inconvenient for customers, so we combat that with information and keeping customers informed. Guaranteed pickup date service is also available, however at much higher cost to the customer. The additional fees for guaranteed pickup date service are customized for the specific vehicle size, weight, requested date - weekday vs. weekend day, pickup location - rural or city downtown vs. direct access to main route, etc. The additional fees are paid directly to the driver for his service to re-schedule all other pickups/drop-offs and ensure he makes it to the pickup location on the requested date. Unfortunately, you chose the economy shipping package, which only includes estimated dates. Regardless of that we had more than 10 agents dedicated working on this order and doing the impossible trying to accommodate the customer's request as well as provide him with exceptional customer support. We ship more than 1500 cars a week, we know how important dates are for customers, which is why we always advise them based on their budget and schedule of all possible options - expedited service vs having a backup person to release/accept the vehicle for you, etc. Montway is 100% dedicated to the customer and our service and care is unmatched!
