Newbie & need some shipping advice

[Hessian]

Update for anyone who might be following this thread...

Got frustrated enough to track down the Director of Operations for Passport Transport yesterday. Lo and behold, got an email first thing this morning saying that my car would be loaded today and delivered this Sat...

The Dir of Ops called me mid afternoon and appologzied for the delay/SNAFU.  I explained everything and he agreed and said he would do what he could to get my car moving. 

BUT WAIT... just got a call that the truck/driver who was going to pick up my car is now stuck in Arkansas and prob wont make it to MO until tommorrow.   Accordingly, now my car won't be delievered until Tuesday at the earliest.... 

When they gave me my shipping window, Saturday the 13th was the last day for delivery.  Come Saturday, they will officially be in breach of our contract.

I suspect what happend (based on a comment by the Dir of Ops) that all the rolling stock was re-directed to get everything to Barrettt Jackson out in Scottsdale.

Sounds like an opportunity to negotiate a discount with the Ops director.

A Huge discount. They have a lot of making up to do.

yes, especially when word of mouth could be damaging when your voice on the computer can be very wide

Hey gents
It finally did arrive but I had to leave an hour later to fly out for business.  I'm due home later this week and if the weather holds up I will take some pics.
The total f-story of the shipping ordeal didn't end well, with damage to my car... Makes me sick to even think about it... But I will post the details when I get home along with the pics.
Thanks to everyone on here who gave encouragement and advice.

[bakerhillpins]

UGH.. 

Sorry to hear.

[Fred]

Bastards! nobody has any respect for other peoples property anymore.

Yeah - that's a massive discount waiting to happen....          come on marine - you know you want to pick up the phone...    

03 then dive and jump eh?   Buddy of mine started 0300 and went to  BRC - then jump, dive, ranger, mountain warfare blah blah blah....       he ended up 0326 in MARSOC and been doing cool stuff since. Its always classic to see him and my other friend debate who's more of a bad ass (other friend is a USAF CCT) - talk about a pissing contest.


Keep your chin up bro - after all - this is supposed to be a 'fun' hobby      

Let us know about the damage - also let the shipping company know about it as well...     you have the car in your possession so now you can be as nasty as you want about it - phone calls, hate mail, etc

Hey Hessian, just wondering how you're getting on with your charger. I know you finally got it so that's good news but whats the story on the damage? I hope it was nothing too serious. How's it coming along?
