Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
On March 27, I am moving to Germany to start a new job with the UN. I have a contract with Tober for them to ship approximately 200 cu. ft. of household items, including books that I need for my job. I asked for $25,000 insurance.

Tober assured me I could expect delivery in 6 weeks and I rented an apartment starting April 1 in reliance on that promise. I paid Tober $600 by check which Tober cashed. Tober subcontracted the pickup to Planet Cargo. On February 22, Planet Cargo picked up the shipment.

Since that date, Patrick Christopher at Tober refuses to return phone calls or emails. Planet Cargo told me that because Tober has not paid Planet Cargo, my shipment has not yet left Chicago. Planet Cargo also told me they would not release my shipment because of their contract with Tober.

Call the Federal Maritime Commission, www.fmc.gov You may need to get a lawyer to help you with a court order to get Planet Cargo to release your goods, immediately, since your timeframe is quickly winding down. You may have to just pay Planet Cargo what they were supposed to receive from Tober, then fight Tober for the money back that you'd already paid them. The FMC is usually good at helping people in this situation. It happens more than we all care to hear about.
