He delivered to a boatyard on the Chesapeake from Stonington VT for a good price and without problem except that the dodger frame broke loose from its starboard mount. He missed the originally agreed pickup date due to illness, and I didn't know what was going on for a couple days. He didn't call, and I couldn't get through to him because he didn't answer the phone and his voicemail was full. After that, communication improved.

This was the first time I needed to ship a boat. Mike offered to move my 33' Walkaround from FL to NJ for a good price, and was very flexible and understanding when work that was being done on the boat went overtime and I had to reschedule the shipment a couple of times. My only complaint was that he doesn't always reply quickly to communications (>24 hrs), and despite multiple requests to contact the destination marina to discuss the delivery, never did. But, in the end the boat got here safely

Mike was the best transporter i have worked with by far in over 2 years. He went well beyond my expectations and held up his plans to make my shipment happen. When a ferry boat held up the plan, he stayed overnight just to make sure he got my boat from the island. He even worked multiple backup plans. I would never have expected the level of service that Mike provided, the communication was great, and he was professional at every turn. Thanks so much for the great job.

I called voicemail it was full, had to text and finally got message back saying he broke down and he would pick up Friday, never any times given, but he was supposed to be 1 hour out and never called or showed up. He finally got in touch and never offered an excuse but said he would pick up on Saturday. I waited all day Saturday and he didn't show up. Sunday I got a message saying his son had an asthma attack and he would p
Response from 1965Reed:
I was traveling with my son who had a severe asthma attack. I notified the customer and told her I would have to reschedule. I rescheduled for 3 days later on a sunday but could not give a definite time for pick up as I had to pick up a boat prior to picking up her dog. indicate is the pick up would be quite late. we arrived in her town at 2 am in the morning I called at least 20 times with no answer. I wish I could have waited till amore reasonable hour but I needed to maintain schedule.

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider did not show up at agreed upon date and time This shipment was not completed due to the fact Michael Reed never picked my boat up! He agreed to transport my boat from NY to FL on Nov 2 and told me that he'd be to get it within a week. When I checked with him every time after that he had another excuse along with another date that he would pick up the boat. It is now Nov 23 and he has yet to pick up my boat. Mr Reed has now stopped answering my calls and will not return any of them either. I tricked Mr Reed by calling from another number a
Response from 1965Reed:
I did show up the boat was at a junk yard and the new owner had purchased it from a online auction. The boat had severe hull damage which would have cost thousands to repair. After loading the boat I called the owner and describe the damage. He ask me to return it to the salvage yard which is exactly what I did. The purchaser seemed extremely happy with my services and even mailed me a 300 dollar check for my troubles. You gotta look hard to find someone as honest as I am.

Response from 1965Reed:
On almost all of my quotes I list pick up within 14 days off bid acceptance. apparently this shipper overlooked those very important facts. The shipper purchased the boat from an individual who was leaving the country for the winter 3 days after he accepted my bid. I tried my best to accommodate him but it was impossible without jeopardizing other customers who did read my scheduling dates and already obtained cast in stone pick up times. Sorry .

Response from 1965Reed:
we did show up to pick up this gentleman boat. it was wider have your and longer than he listed. at the pick up we had to pass on the transport to do his misrepresentation. as we always have the customer's best interest in mind we were able to locate another transporter who completed the transport for this gentleman at the amount that was to us on you ship. I am appalled by the fact that he is reporting negative comments. we are the only ones harmed in this transaction we lost money due to him.

No Detailed Feedback Available I am unable to reach this Service Provider after a reasonable time period I spoke with the shipper on Friday and was told the boat would be picked up on Monday night. I have emailed, texted, and called to leave a message (mailbox was full, could not leave a message) to finalize the details with no luck. Good communication between the shipper and customer is paramount and this company does not possess it.
