Dave was a great shipper! He reacted quickly and was able to pick up on the same day. I expected the shipment on a Tuesday at the latest, and he got into town on Sunday night. Very quick to answer any and all questions and had. Don, the driver, was very professional and didn't rush me while I checked the boat over. Very nice people to deal with. I would definitely call on them again for my shipping needs!

Response from davefred:
This customer was a nice guy, though he was foriegn and did not speak english and had to have 2 different people translate the shipment for him. I just needed a couple extra days to regroup lost items such as drivers license, credit cards, etc which is needed to transport. Sorry for any inconvience. Thanks Dave

No Detailed Feedback Available I am unable to reach this Service Provider after a reasonable time period I spoke with the service provider who assured me the motorcycle would be picked up before I have to pay for storage. I told him I would call him back with the exact gut-off date. I called and left a voicemail giving him the date (Nov 5) and told him to call me to let me know he got the message. That was on Oct 31. Yesterday I accepted another bid form a different shipper and now have 2 accepted bids for the same shipment. I feel the original shipper could have picked up the motorcycle by now.

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider did not show up at agreed upon date and time My boat was supposed to be picked up by Tuesday Am at the latest. We had originally agreed on sunday pick -up which he moved back due to something coming up. He said he would be in the area for delivery by monday PM. I just called the auction and boat is still there and I have not talked to him since Sunday, I believe. He has not tried to contact me and I have tried both numbers left online with no response. It is now wednesday PM.
Response from davefred:
I totally accept the responsibility for this shipment. It was a miscommunication on my part with the dates and times. By the time I got the messages and saw the mess-up on my schedule, it had been cancelled and I apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. As you can see by my 100% positive feedbacks, I have always picked up and delivered in a safe and timely manner. Thank you, Dave
