Bottom line - shipment got there in good shape. Sometimes shipper difficult to get a hold of and would take awhile to get back to me. Time frame was extended slightly longer than what was promised when I booked the shipment. But an overall decent experience.
Response from ctaylor82:
Loads are scheduled when they are paid. The shipper was new to uship and did not understand that. After he accepted the bid, he took four days to pay, therefore the shipment wasn't scheduled until after the payment was received. That was the cause was the delay in delivery. But overall it was a good shipment.

They delivered my boat in perfect shape and for a good price in spite of really bad weather during the trip. They kept me informed of progress from pick-up to delivery. I have recommended their services to the boat factory and a number of friends. I would definitely use them again.

It was a pleasure transporting the Rinker for Kurt. Kurt was a great shipper. We communicated well and it was a great experience for us. I would like to personally say "thanks" for the opportunity to work with you and we at Go Deep Xpress hope it was a good experience for the Klassen clan as well. Enjoy Az. Charlie & Jennifer
Response from Kurt K.:
Charles & Jennifer, Thank you for making this such a great experience. I really felt bad that I did not have a chance to properly thank Charles for his efforts as I know going across the mountains with that load was not easy. I will send you the pics my wife took of the water launch in case you would like to share. The launch was perfect and the boat was too! You are both awesome! Thanks again and if you ever get out this way please let us know. Best! Kurt & Kim

Boat was originally delivered to Sperry, Ok but was then re-routed to delivered to Noble, Oklahoma for repair work. Capt Herb was an excellent client and we were delighted to work with him on getting his 1965 Cris Craft transported. He was an excellent person to work with and our communication with him was always good. Capt Herb we wish you and your wife a great retirement in Oklahoma.

Picked up Marc's boat spur of the moment in Wash State. We helped him out of a jam. Got it transported quickly (almost 2500 miles in 4 days). Although we never take a boat without payment, since this was last minute we did anyway. He was a good shipper. Paid quickly and we got it done. Go communication. Good deal. Thanks Marc and enjoy the Moomba. Charlie

This guy accepted a bid and then tried to get extra freight delivered free. He is truly a manipulator and he doesn't pay on time. A person that promises future business for freebies now. I would not ever do business with him. I would be shocked if he is still in business. [content removed – contained profanity]
Response from Sam W.:
No extra freight, as it was a fork lift!...unless he thought it had no gas in the tank, and the 1/4 tank was the extra freight! How can someone not pay on time when they've got to pay in advance, then pay again when the goods are held ransom. If I'm not in business it's because of guys like Taylor. Nuff said

After communicating directly, I am not comfortable with this customer My Benson accepted a bid & demanded documentation over the Easter weekend holiday. The office was closed. In addition, Mr. Benson wanted a guaranteed date which requires a deposit. He didn't pay. Our booking & paymment policies are specific & noted in our profile under terms and conditions. In addition, Mr. Benson wanted to pay the balance COD. As per our policy, we don't do COD. Therefore, we were not comfortable with Mr. Benson as a NON-PAYING client. He can take his business elsewhere.
Response from Derrick (rick) B.:
We only had direct contact with ctaylor's girl in the office(who came in on the weekend to invoice but not send documentation to us so that we could send deposit)All I asked for was the proper documents for a contract, proof of insurance, DOT, MC, etc. prior to making deposit payment. This obviously was too much to ask for. He also threatened that if the deposit wasn't made we would lose our shipment date.If I CAN NOT TRUST him at this point what would happen throughout the transport & delivery.

Robert and his son were great shippers and a pleasure to meet. This shipment was booked in January for a April transport and went off with no hitches. For the convenience of all, the boat was actually transported a week ahead of schedule. I can't say enough about these guys. Its always good to meet "class acts", and these two were just that. Thanks alot for your business and enjoy that beautiful boat.

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider misrepresented themselves, their business or their services Prior to Mr Taylor leaving his destination to come pick boat, he was fully aware that the boat had to be loaded in the water and said he would do it if I would pay an additional $100 to repack his bearings. When he got here it was obvious he had the wrong kind of trailer.The trailer he had was to accommodate a boat with outdrives, my boat has V drives. At that point he said he could not do the job but would refund $700 of $1263 we paid him upfront. He now will not refund that.

No Detailed Feedback Available There was a change to the shipping price or terms that could not be resolved After reading the carriers terms more closely and their reviews I am not comfortable working with this carrier under their terms. They want all money paid up front before the boat is even picked up and there were comments in reviews that prices changed after boat was picked up. I prefer to work with one of the other carriers that only require a down payment with full payment made upon satisfactory delivery. After getting this carrier's contact information no one answered the phone either which c
Response from ctaylor82:
Client & I agreed on payments of 50% down & 50% @ delivery. It was a time-sensitive trnasport, therefore we only had 3 days to receive payment & order & receive permits. Client refused to pay wire transfer fee of $25, therefore no payment was made. NYC & NY state take 48 hrs to issue permits. Since no payment was made, no permits were ordered. Because of non-payment, the transport window for this shipment closed. We are no longer able to transport the shipment in the requested timeframe.

No Detailed Feedback Available There was a change to the shipping price or terms that could not be resolved There was a miscommunication between myself and the shipper resulting in cancellation. Communication with the shipper was beyond excellent and they worked diligently as possible to help resolve the issue, but in the end we couldn't find a viable solution. Will most certainly do business with this shipper in the future.
Response from ctaylor82:
Jeff had two shipments to be picked up. He mistakenly listed the mileage for the shorter distance. The second item was several hundred miles away, therefore the price would change significantly. We suggested that he re-list the items and use the farthest distance to compute the rate. He was a very nice guy. He just made a mistake listing the shipment. No harm, no foul.

Response from ctaylor82:
Guy agreed to terms (listed in profile) prior to accepting bid. Then he changed his mind. We then changed terms & agreed to allow him to pay small deposit & balance at pickup. He agreed again, only to cancel. I then checked his profile, (which I should have done before bidding on his boat) and found that he had done this (not pay) before. This guy never did anything he said he would do. We don't deal with unethical customers. Glad that he is gone. TSP's beware of this guy. He doesnt like pay.

Response from ctaylor82:
Big liar. He listed a boat @ 7600 lbs. Catscale weighed boat @ 10820 lbs. Uship & marina has a copy of Catscale weight. The boat was pickup on the 2/17 ontime. Marina will verify that. Shipper was advised that there would be added cost because of the additional weight. Shipper refused and requested that the boat be returned to marina. Shipment was cancelled and the boat was returned to the marina. The marina will verify everything I'm saying. We stand on our track record. Beware of this guy.

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider is not able to accommodate this shipment Trucking company showed up 2 weeks late and with the wrong trailer. With the wrong trailer the load was over heighth and required extra permits and special routing. Trucker decided to cancel carrying this shipment and offloaded the boat at the origin. No service was provided by the trucking company. A full refund of this booking is requested.
Response from ctaylor82:
Transporter showed up on time as we always do. We also brought the proper trailer for the height that was listed. Shipper misrepresented the height (boat 2 ft higher) of the boat to get lower rate. Advised the rate would be higher. Initially agreed to pay the added cost,but then changed mind. If the boat's height were listed correctly, it would not have been an overheight load. Customer signed agreement to pay deadhead, per diem & downtime charges. Customer just lied.Case closed. Simple as that.
