You were dealing with a BROKER, Steve. A good reputable shipper does not take a deposit, nor have additional charges. When you use a broker, the deposit they get is their pay. The cash you pay the truck driver on arrival, is all his. The broker may represent many transporters, usually individuals. Once you pay the broker, you have all kinds of trouble just getting the same person!! I'll bet when you first signed up, they were all milk and honey in their mannerisms, but after that, they turned to monsters. Deal with someone like Intercity Lines, or FedEx Passport. It's worth it. Good luck.

I FILLED OUT THE FORM FOR ENCLOSED ONLY & RECEIVED A REPLY FROM A TINA MILLS OF ALL AMERICAN AUTO TRANSPORT. THEY SAY EVERYTHING TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE THEY ARE THE SHIPPER. THEY GAVE ME A PRICE OF $900. WHICH I AGREED UPON. SHE THEN ASKS FOR A CREDIT CARD TO GUARANTEE THE PRICE WITH A PAYMENT OF $380, WHICH I GIVE, & IF I HAVE A FAX MACHINE. WHEN I SAY NO, SHE ASKS FOR A NEARBY OFFICE SUPPLY OR MB ETC TO FAX IT TO & STRESSES TO GET IT BACK IMMEDIATELY TO GUARANTEE THE PRICE. I DID THIS. I GET THE PAPERWORK IN THE MAIL A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER ONLY TO FIND THE SHIPPING HAS BEEN CHANGED TO OPEN, NOT ENCLOSED. SHE TELLS ME I SHOULD HAVE TOLD HER ENCLOSED. I WROTE ENCLOSED ONLY, WHEN I FILLED OUT THE FORM. SHE THEN REPLIES, I DON'T GET THAT INFORMATION BACK. I ASK, WHY NOT IT'S YOUR FORM. SHE AGREES TO CHANGE IT TO ENCLOSED @ THE LOWEST PRICE. SHE ASKS WHERE I GOT MY LOWEST PRICE. I TELL HER & SHE CALLS BACK TELLING ME SHE CAN GET THEM TO DO IT FOR $1100. $30 DOLLARS MORE THAN THEY QUOTED ME. SHE THEN TELLS ME MY BALANCE IS $1100. I TELL HER SHE FORGOT TO DEDUCT MY $380. DEPOSIT. SHE THEN TELLS ME IT'S IN ADDITION TO THE $380. I ASK FOR HER TO REVERSE MY CHARGES & SHE REFUSES. I ASK TO SPEAK TO A MGR, & SHE CONNECTS ME TO CUSTOMER SERVICE. SHE REFUSES. I ASK FOR A MANAGER AGAIN, THERE IS NO MANAGER HERE. I ASK WHEN WILL HE BE IN? SHE REPLIES HE'S NEVER HERE. I ASK TO REVERSE THE CHARGES, SHE REPLIES WE NEVER REVERSE CHARGES. I TELL HER I'LL DISPUTE THE CHARGES, SHE REPLIES, GO AHEAD, WE ALWAYS WIN. ANY SUGGESTIONS WITHIN THE LAW?
