James had great communication before the booking. He was very informative and gave me all the needed information. Once I made the booking the communication wasnt so great. Send him a few emails but failed to reply promptly compared to when it was through Uship. I made a few request but failed to reply. A little communication error between a few parties made this transaction very troublesome.
Response from jameslafave:
This Canadian citizen is doing business in Hong Kong. He did not want to pay as agreed (COD). He tried to have some LA freight foreword employee forge a personal check for my payment. This is a good group not to help. Communication with this character in Hong Kong was no pick nick. Changing the payment terms was not OK. Anyone using a freight foreword company should advise the shippers of that. Just stay in Hong Kong Edwin.

This guy was a problem to work with. A Canadian living in Hon Kong or somewhere ? Delivering to a Freight foreword company that wanted to give me a bad check for payment. This group is not good to work with.

After communicating directly, I am not comfortable with this customer The client has a very steep driveway, which was not conveyed before booking. Dangerous pick-up location. The client was not available, nor did not attempt to make themselves available for pick-up.

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider did not show up at agreed upon date and time I emailed carrier directly with my contact information and cell number. James emails this morning and says he will call later today December 1st. I never hear from James by 123O so I leave and go about my day. My cell died and when I get home I check my voicemail and James showed while I was gone. He chose to drive out without confirming if I will be available. I call him immediately and he gives me attitude about wasting time but any serious business calls ahead of time. He refuses to come

No Detailed Feedback Available The Service Provider is not able to accommodate this shipment I've already mentioned this when I initially submitted a problem on July 28, 2012. I communicated w/ Mr. LaFave several times through the website, and I lastly asked him if he was sure he knew what I needed shipped, and if he'd be able to do so. I learned from the p.o.c. at the pickup location Mr. LaFave was trying to move a fairly heavy piece of furniture down a spiral staircase by himself on a piano dolly. I was informed Mr. LaFave was offered assistance, but he refused. He was also asked if
