Dolphin International Shipping Nightmare Move from Hell Coral Springs Florida
I didn't think moving from Baltimore Maryland to Honolulu Hawaii was going to be such a nightmare. I was planning my wedding and about to be the luckiest girl alive. Moving to Hawaii, who wouldnt be?
Dolphin International actually contacted me initially. Suzanne called me and started giving me rates right away. We talked about my car and my belongings... everything seemed so legit.
I kept copies of all the papers she sent me, emails, different quotes, all of it. I didn't want to be taken later if they changed the price.
That was all in March 2004, I set the date up for June 10th 2004, I kept in contact with Suzanne the whole time, almost every other day.
So let me just say the honeymoon period is OVER!!
No car... No belongings!!!
I didn't have any furniture, just small stuff. Like family pictures, clothes, early wedding presents, stuff my fiance's mom had giving me to take to him (He's in the U.S. Navy).
But all that small stuff means the world to me... it's everything that would make my house feel like a home. I feel like I'm walking into a hotel room now. Nothing has any sentiment to it, no memories. New doesn't always mean better!
Neither Marty nor Kathryn have returned my calls since June, I even ask for people that I had cooresponded with for just a brief second... they arn't ever available either. I could ring that Kelley girls neck!!
I've screamed, I've cried... I feel so helpless!!
It's now October, and the financial backlash of this is starting to rack up.
Rental cars, replacing some things, Paying the people that haven't been paid that are still HOLDING my stuff and refuse to release it.
Why doesn't anyone go AFTER these people?? What do we do from here as VICTIMS? Who can actually help us?
It seems so open and shut... Why can't anyone help us?

Stephanie, your story is more poignant of the lot. Even, I had to spend more than what my initial budget was for moving--- Exrta Warehouse charges, expenses for buying some stuff here in India, charges for flying back to US to get some documents that I inadvertently placed in the shipment, and now going with some other shipping company. I wanted to press them on all these counts, but I had to be contented with whatever they have refunded. Atleast, I got lucky that my shipment is still in Minnesota than in a no-man's land. Friends, Here is the cell phone number for Marty Mckenzie 312-498-2330. My friend was able to contact him and meet him in downtown Chicago (see my previous report/rebuttal posted on 10/10). And here is the Chicago office address, which he says is his residence. 2546, W.Wilson Ave Chicago, 60625. Good luck
