gbfenterprises shipped our pony from Georgia to Canada, BC. Communicated all the way through. Happy to see a really nice clean hauling unit pull in our driveway, new & safe. Our pony was healthy & sound, no signs of distress at all. Ben & Sharon were so friendly after such a long haul. Made time for a quick coffee and discussed the haul. Hard to find quality service at an excellent price. I would use no one else. I would highly recommend. Thank you Ben & Sharon call us when your in town again.

Logan had a long drive ahead of him, going from Northern Maine to Houston Texas. I had a very positive experience with GBF, when I moved Lo to Maine from Massachusetts I had a really bad experience with a shipping company. I took a long time to decide who I wanted to ship him this time. I started in February and finally decided that GBF was the most professional, caring, and experienced to do the job. Logan had a trailer rub on his bum but nothing major. I will use GBF again if needed!!

Ben and Sharon are wonderful, caring horse people. They both put me at ease, as this was the first time I have shipped my "babies" any distance. They encouraged me to call while they were on the road and notified the boarding stable when they were in the area so they would be prepared. I would most definitely recommend GBF Enterprises. I could not have picked a better transporter. Sincerely, Chris C.

I am no longer able to accommodate this shipment After learning that our new trailer needed to be taken to the factory for some work, we started the huge task of trying to reschedule our trips. We tried to reach this customer by phone on Saturday, March 14. Most of our customers were able to wait until we can get back on the road. We also learned that our e-mail account (hotmail) that we used w/USHIP was stolen, therefore any correspondence that was sent to us, did not come thru. We sincerely apologize for any inconveince.

The customer no longer needed the item(s) shipped the shipper SGuinII called me on the day before I was supposed to pick up her horse and said she wasnt shipping the horse. Reason stated was that the horse would be happier where it was.. We didnt have any recourse. we'd been in touch with the receiver and they were expecting the horse. ben gbf

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider is not able to accommodate this shipment While it is NO FAULT of the SERVICE PROVIDER and I'll be happy to re-state this for their record, a breakdown in GBFEnterprises' equipment has caused an unforseen delay for an unknown amount of time. Although I was never directly contacted in any way until today by email since the Company was awarded the Bid, the assumption was that April bookings would result in an appx. ship date of 3/14/09. Quite unrelated, the Seller of my horse has communicated to me suddenly that a close family member

They have to get their trailer serviced in Canada for warranty work. Pat from GBF called today to say they are asking all people who are currently booked to make alternative plans for shipping. The receiver of the horse would like the horse delivered sooner rather than later. GBF has been very professional to deal with and these circumstances happen to the best, so this is no r

No Detailed Feedback Available I am unable to reach this Service Provider after a reasonable time period Didn't respond to emails after the first one and I need my horse moved. Can't wait.
Response from gbfenterprises:
My coordinator was in touch with this lady and told her that we could move her horse by the 26th of Sept. She conveyed worries of moving her horse in a storm and couldn't make that load. We informed her our next trip to Fl. wouldn't be until the end of Oct. I've assumed that was the plan until I got this notice of cancellation. I can't recieve email in the truck and our cell is on at all times. She never called me. I didnt'realize there was a problem until it was too late..

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider misrepresented themselves, their business or their services Once i gave the deposit, the shipper told me they could no longer ship the horse, since then i have not been able to get in touch!!!
Response from gbfenterprises:
the deposit wasnt given to us it was given to uship. we have been in touch Pat has responded to the clients email.. She did tell us shipment was flexible but it wasnt as flexible as i understood it.. We had an audit by IFTA and IRP and couldnt cancel it .. (Funny how the government is about some matters) Anyway I've offered to pay the deposit back if Usip didn't . I'm waiting for Uship to advise me on what they did and will proceed accordingly after their response..
