The Service Provider did not show up at agreed upon agreed date & time This has cost me $300 out of pocket; first rescheduling because of a funeral. However, they have 3 trucks and trailers; then mechanical problems; will leave the comments at that but please make sure I get a full refund of my deposit. I am sure I will get the shame on me response but I could say more; U-Ship with this provider has been negative and costly for me. Please let me know how I can get my refund.

The Service Provider did not show up at agreed upon agreed date & time The Service Provided agreed to pickup my shipment on late Saturday afternoon in North Carolina. The seller had the animal prepared for transporting. The Service Provider called at the time he was suppose to pickup the shipment. He stated he was in Tennessee and his truck was in the repair shop and he would not get it back before Monday. If he was suppose to be in N.C. at 3:00 and he was in fact in Tenn maybe he over booked his shipments.

Horse arrived after a very long trip on the trailer. The horse was very dehydrated and had various cuts on the face from beeing tossed around in the trailer. I have the feeling he had a very rough ride and was not cared for on the trailer to the best of the shippers ability. Would not reccomend this shipper for a long haul, although the communication was reasonable and they did take the horse off the trailer to allow for rest.
Response from efir:
Although I do appreciate the "neutral"...but I do take offense to the assumption that your horse was tossed around the trailer..yes the trip did take longer than expected but we did have an overnight, your horse had a box stall, water and hay was provided at all times with several rest breaks..and the "various cuts on face" were week old scrapes that he had when we loaded...this info is on your off loading check list...I did try to contact you 24 hours post delivery with no return call...

This transport company was FABULOUS! They were professional, considerate, competent, respectful of my time and emotion and genuinely nice. My horse arrived early, healthy, and without incident. They provided updates during the trip and were truly concerned about the safety of my special needs horse.

The people had to pick up my horses over 1 week in advance prior to shipping them, then they were supposed to leave on the June 1st, they did not arrive until the 5th and both horses came back to my property very skinny and they were remains of sweet feed in my horse bucket in which my horses don't eat sweet feed, one of my horses coliced the night they dropped the horses off. If going long distance, use a trucking company that has the big vans for better ride, they put both horses in same stall
Response from efir:
Bid date was 5/6 with a pickup date within 10 days, customer changed pickup dates for the 28th becasue she was moving, truck was not leaving until June 1st therefore we had to pick up early, horse were fed grain and hay at our farm at no extra charge...horses were delivered in a 14 x 8 box stall together as they were pastured together and got along better than when apart. Since this complaint I have called the boarding barn and no colic! I would love to see the vet receipt!
