Available Logistics AAA Transports Ripped off by auto transporter Internet
On 10/01/2011, I filled in data seeking a quote to ship my car from WI to VA. Filled out the quote request and was provided an initial quote of $450.00 total. I then requested further information and was provided a contract and noticed price had jumped from $450.00 to $560.00 plus $175.00 brokerage fee. Was not interested and informed Al of Advantage Logistics (via email) to disregard and was no longer interested. I then contracted with American Dream Transports. On 10/05/2011, the seller of the car in WI notified me that the auto had been picked up. I called American Dream and they stated that they had not assigned carrier as yet. On 10/08/2011, Advantage Logistics (AL) called and said that they had my car and I was to submit via moneygram $175.00 to Glen Head NY to Florence Fishman and to pay the carrier $650.00. I informed him that I did not have a contract with him (never signed a contract nor paid a deposit) and that American Dream was making plans to ship my car. (Al) stated that he had my data and my car and for his services that I was to remit $175.00 and to pay the carrier $650.00. On Sunday, 10/09/2011, Advantage Logistic sent me a contract (yet unsigned) with instructions to sign contract and fax back to them. What a nightmare. I received my car on Saturday morning...the driver/transporter (United) said that he was unaware and that he just followed orders.
