No Detailed Feedback Available Response from Donohoe:
Customer responded other service provider he could pick up at terminal. This other service provider offered to ship $1189. Customer had "Book It Now" $800. We accepted his "Book It Now" $800 since he stated that he could p/up at terminal w/other service provider. Customer got very upset for we didn't ask him directly about p/up at terminal. We were able to save him $389 over other s/provider. Customer didn't want save $389. Why? Who knows. Customer should appreciate us trying to save him $$$.

No Detailed Feedback Available i want to cancel this shipment. BUT YOU GUYS ALLOW ME NO WAY TO COMMUUNICATE WITH YOU! THE SHIPPER SAYS OK. CONTACT ME ASAP PLEASE !!!!
Response from Donohoe:
Shipper gave different reasons for wanting to cancel shipment from no longer need Harley shipped, had more bikes from different location to last correspondence of he did authorize to post listing here on U-Ship claiming someone else did so without any of knowledge. Therefore, we wouldn't ship anyway even if had request cancellation for not feeling comfortable with shipper's different answers. We don't get involved in doing transactions with such individuals.

I'm a very occasional shipper, so I have very little experience. I gotta say: when I got the significantly lowest bid from a site in Hawaii, I had conflicting thoughts: are these guys for real? But at every turn, at every step, these guys provided a concierge level of service far in excess of the size of the transaction. They provided absolutely the most detailed communication, documentation, and phone follow-up every step of the way. I recommend ShippingShack 100%! Amazing- blew me away.

I am no longer able to accommodate this shipment Clearly stated in "View Details" w/quote & in comments in "Question" field following "Our quote is w/origin being a business without dock & destination being a residence. Shipment must be packed & boxed to prevent damage during transit prior to pick up driver's arrival. Shipment to be shipped by major LTL carrier" Evident that customer didn't read. We replied to customers email on 05/16 giving approval to cancel. Customer not honest or responsible for their actions; they're "passing buck".

Shipper, Terry H. emailed us giving different reasons to wanting to cancel shipment. Reasons vary from no longer needing Harley shipped to having other Harleys needing shipped from other origins to Thailand to never authorizing listing on U-Ship the first place. Claims someone else did so without his knowledge. We would not then or in future assist this person with shipping. This is do to their different responses to our emails giving several reasons. Leads questions to their intent.

No Detailed Feedback Available There was a change to the shipping price or terms that could not be resolved Contacted shipper over three days for the particular terms of his but was not able to get a response, by phone or email. I listed the item as not crated or packed, but shipper's term (small fine print...) was that the item must be packed. I tried to get this resolved but shipper did not communicate at all with me.

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider is not able to accommodate this shipment the shipper booked my shipment without meeting my terms 100%. Shipper is delivering to a place of business and not the address I specified in my booking which was my address. This is not what I wanted and feel that I am not responsible at all for his mistake.

THis shipment has already been cancelled once due to the original service provider cancelling on me. I need to get this picked up and delivered or I will forfeit the item. Thanks, James Peterson

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider is not able to accommodate this shipment The bike was never registered and has not any licence plate. I have MSO + contract of purchase what is OK with the most shipping companies, but this one requires licence plate. So that is why it is not possible to make shipping.
Response from Donohoe:
Customer is unable to obtain title & registration to motorcycle. This is a set policy set by shipping company & U.S. Customs with no exceptions. We will not take the responsibility of picking up the motorcycle & not being able to follow through with shipment & delivery. In doing so would be unprofessional & unethical. We explained to customer we do not go by what other shipping companies might have stated in regard to MSO. We apologize for any in convenience for our customer, thank you.

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider did not show up at agreed upon date and time this item is still sitting at the sellers house and has not been picked up. i need to make other arrangements. thanks Dino.
Response from Donohoe:
The seller informed us that that the item was not on a pallet & they did not have one to fit. The seller also informed us that he had same problem with the buyer (shipper) in the past. The only alternative was to use a flat bed instead of a LTL dry van. The additional cost was approximately $500 more. We decided not to assist the shipper with this shipment since we were misinformed of his shipment's pick up capability for this would result in us having a lost on this shipment. Sorry, thank you.

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider is not able to accommodate this shipment Responded to service provider and the new price of the shipment was higher due to dimensions. I requested my company to ship my motorcycle and they agreed to ship it for me at no cost. So, that is why I no longer need this service.
Response from Donohoe:
A larger crate (106x45x52) was used by shipper then listed in "View Bid Details" (96x30x52). This added 612 additional lbs of dimensional weight to the shipment of the Harley. Air freight charges are totally based on actual weight or dimensional weight, whichever is the greatest. More so when shipping international air for the dimensional weight is higher then when shipping domestically do to a different formula used in the air freight industry. Sorry that we couldn't ship, thank you.

No Detailed Feedback Available There was a change to the shipping price or terms that could not be resolved the amount of my deposit was not credited towards the full shipping amount ,deposit was $151.78.i was told that the service provider does not recieve the money from the deposits from uship ,for tax reasons,that uship keeps it,so i would have to pay them the full price .the pick-up location was also changed on me,from oakland,ca. to gardenia,ca.i will find another shipper elsewhere
Response from Donohoe:
The shipper repeatedly changed his story in regard to his shipment -i.e. pickup point, dropping off, # of bikes, payment, etc. We repeatedly try to accommodate his changes. Do to his inconsistent pattern, we agree to the cancellation. You may verify the conditions for this cancellation in "View Bid Details" in all of quotes for this particular customer. With this customer & as always we try to provide the best service available. We wish the best for this customer in finding better service.Mahalo
