Rating: Cancellation Left by: orangewing (1) On: 12/10/2007 For: New enclosed 8.5 X 20 v-nose t	No Detailed Feedback Available	The Service Provider is not able to accommodate my shipment After attemps to reach the shipper, I got the news that after a visit to the hospital he does not want to fulfill agreement. He did not try to reach me at least to let me know. At last minute had to find a provider at much higher cost. Want my deposit back. Response from LightningFast: I have since had surgery from a prior injury that occurred while performing military service for 8 years. I am 10% disabled from 4 hernia operations.
Rating: Cancellation Left by: bob3416 (1) On: 12/10/2007 For: trailer delivery walnut ridge,	No Detailed Feedback Available	The Service Provider did not show up at agreed upon agreed date & time he called and asked if he could wait and deliver something to Maine first, my delivery could not wait, shipper was leaving for thanksgiving, I never heard from transporter again. I want my deposit back ASAP, thanks Response from LightningFast: We were very busy at this time approaching Thanksgiving time and meeting deadlines. The customer did not have the dates exact and we were on the way from Las Vegas to Maine to pick up a craft going to Alabama. The customer had no understanding of the business aspect that was proposed at the time of acceptance, and we had to cancel. As the customer stated, his delivery could not wait, and neither could we.

Rating: Positive Left by: firefighter898 (1) On: 11/3/2007 For: 2006 21 ft Seaswirl Stripper	No Detailed Feedback Available	VERY PROFFESIONAL! Curtes and Kim delivered my Striper boat without incident. It arrived early, and in perfect shape. Curtes treated it as if it were his own. I will not hesitate to use Curtes and Kim in the future, as I can be assured a flawless delivery. If Curtes bids on your shipment, you can accept his bid with confidence. Best of luck Curtes and Kim. Response from LightningFast: Thank you so kindly for your feedback. God Blesses in so many ways. We were so very happy to have made your boat shipment the very best and professional as we possibly could. You are always welcome to call us, and we will stop what we are doing to make things a reality to accomodate your shipping needs. God Bless, Curtes & Kim..Lightning Fast Delivery Services
Rating: Cancellation Left by: whistlingwings27 (1) On: 10/30/2007 For: 32'6" Travel Trailer	No Detailed Feedback Available	The Service Provider is not able to accommodate my shipment The Shipping provider didn't have a truck that was not big enough to pull my trailer safely. My trailer weights in at 7000lbs. I would prefer to have someone with at least a 3/4 ton truck with a weight distribution hitch to accomodate load distribution bars. The shipper and myself both agreed for safety reasons that they shouldn't pull my trailer. Response from LightningFast: We visited the customer, and we decided that the trailer would be unsafe to pull the distance required. We did feel that the job could have been done, but due to the fact that my wife and child are on this trip, it is not worth the risk going through the mountain passes with the weight.. wind.. and weather conditions that could arise, in which we came to this conclusion. Good luck with the shipment and as we talked, we look forward to you utilizing our companywith other future needs while in GA.
Rating: Positive Left by: llueck (1) On: 10/9/2007 For: 21' North River Aluminum Boat Read Story	No Detailed Feedback Available	Curtes did a GREAT job! He did what 3 other carriers couldn't. He did what he said and when he said he would with exceptional communication skills. Patient, detail oriented and he kept me informed every step of the way. This was a major cross country haul and he made excellent time. He even drove an extra 16 hours to meet my changing needs. I highly recommend Curtes and hope that others can appreciate his needs for a deposit and know that he'll get the job done. GREAT JOB CURTES - THANK YOU Response from LightningFast: Thank you Mr. Leuck, as we look forward to servicing your shipping needs as they arise. We also appreciate your efforts and the details that you provided us with in order to complete your shipment and make this a successful business transaction. Thanks for your faith in a small company such as ours, as we strive in doing our best to add you to a great list of satisfied customers. God Bless-Curtes, Owner- Lightning Fast Delivery Services
Rating: Cancellation Left by: scondra (0) On: 10/5/2007 For: 18 ft 79 Sleekcraft	No Detailed Feedback Available	After communicating directly, I am not comfortable with this Service Provider I had requested bond and insurance info before shipping. the shipper requested that i pay the 855.00 dollar deposit prior to them sending me the insurance info and i do not feel comfortable giving any one that amount of money with out first being able to verify they are a legit company. Shipper did not know what bonding was so it places doubts if he even is bonded. Incase something happens i need assurances that my shipment will not only be safe from damage but also from theft or disaperance Response from LightningFast: The deposit that we request on all shipments covers the cost that we have to pay to insure YOUR specific shipment. We do not come out of pocket to cover insurance without a deposit, for "this same reason"... a customer cancels and we are left having paid 200$ in the blind !!! We never spoke of bonding information, as I clearly don't understand what is meant by we don't know what being bonded is!!! That's ridiculous, as we blatently told you that we are NOT bonded as we are a small company.

Rating: Cancellation Left for: orangewing (1) On: 12/10/2007 For: New enclosed 8.5 X 20 v-nose t	I am no longer able to accommodate this shipment Response from orangewing: Never informed me that he could not do it. I finaly reached him by phone, he then told me he would not fullfil agreement. Had to find one at the last minute at $265 more. A bit pissed off.

Rating: Positive Left for: firefighter898 (1) On: 11/3/2007 For: 2006 21 ft Seaswirl Stripper	We really appreciated Mr. Holliday's professionalism and demeanor. He is a superior business man to whom we are glad to have as a friend and customer. If you ever get to service a job for my customer (if we are unavailable), treat him with the best respect and dignity in a professional manner, or deal with answering to LIGHTNING FAST DELIVERY SERVICES. Thanks Mr. Holliday, and God Bless... Curtes & Kim
Rating: Cancellation Left for: whistlingwings27 (1) On: 10/30/2007 For: 32'6" Travel Trailer	I am no longer able to accommodate this shipment We visited the customer and upon looking at this set up, we came to the conclusion that the transporter needs a 3/4 ton or better in order to complete this task safely. He is a very very friendly person that is not only concerned about his property.. but the person transporting as well. Thanks, and good luck with your shipment.
Rating: Positive Left for: llueck (1) On: 10/11/2007 For: 21' North River Aluminum Boat Read Story	Mr. Lueck is a great man to do business with. He is certainly a man of his words, and we are greatly satisfied that he entrusted his boat shipment with such a company as ours, when there are so many others out in this market. Great.. great business man, and we are glad to have serviced this shipment. God Bless- Curtes, Owner- Lightning Fast Delivery Services
Rating: Cancellation Left for: scondra (0) On: 10/5/2007 For: 18 ft 79 Sleekcraft	Customer cancelled after communicating directly – did not feel comfortable moving forward. We stated in the beginning conversations with the customer, as we do all customersbfore all bids are accepted. Please read our company profile and feedback before accepting our bid. WE PROVIDE INSURANCE through our insurance company on a per item basis, which means if you have a boat, we have to call and get the insurance for your specific boat! There's nothing hidden or misunderstood in that. We have even had customers that go online get the insurance themselves through the comany that we use,
Rating: Positive Left for: HarleyM (1) On: 10/1/2007 For: 12 ft Enclosed Trailer	Mr. Matchett was extremely patient as we had a major transmission breakdown along the way which caused a delay in the shipment. We corrected with repairs, and was on the road to keep his company up and running, and REALLY appreciated his support through all the lost timing. We look forward to your next shipment, and remember we are just a call away. Curtes-Owner, Lightning Fast Delivery Services
