My Transport Connection - 561-982-1275
Let me start by saying, I've written maybe 2 reports like this in the past, so for me to spend time writing this, you better know it's justified.
SHIPPING NEW AUDI S4 ($65,000)
North Miami --> Fort Collins
Ok, here's what happened. Just got a call from this guy after sending out a couple of requests online for quotes. Within a few mintues, I received 4 quotes Ranging from $750 - $ 1100 (Enclosed Carrier). This guy was the last of the calls. He proceeded to let me know he has multiple vendors he uses. He charges $ 250 Broker fee and then passes through the actual shipping rates. His cheapest option for an OPEN carrier was $ 900 (Plus $ 250 Broker Fee) and could only get to Denver for this price. It was cost additionally for local transport from Denver to Fort Collins.
I said "Thanks, I just posted this online (which is obviously how he found me) and I've just started getting quotes from multiple carri" and before i could even finish syaing the word "carriers" he cut me off....
"If you're just shopping around, you MUST be a cheapskate, and just can't afford to pay for a service like his. If I can't afford it, you'd be better off driving down there and picking it up yourself!!", he then hung up on me??!!??!!
If only he knew, I'm buying this car, an NEW AUDI S4 ($65,000), for my daughter as a graduation present, so as you can see, this isn't a "cheapskate" car.
In Summary, I'm writing this in the hope that the owner might read this and understand that you shouldn't pre-judge anyone, especially over the phone. I did see other RipOffReports on this company which I'm not surprised, and it does look like the owner enjoys getting into banter / rebuttals, so I"m espeically interested how he responds to this.
