Marco was great to work withPosted on Google Aja NTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Early review...These guys move fast! The same day i called they lined up driver for same day pick up. That driver didnt have proper insurance and they immediately found someone else for the next day. The new driver called in advance and arrived on time. The rate was good. I quoted shipping a few months ago and rates have gone up but these guys did their best to work with my budget. I needed a flat type for low vehicles so that really should cost morr but they helped me out. I'm waiting for delivery tomorow but so far great service. | Update: Car was delivered a later than the initial window the driver gave us. It was same day, but many hours later. The driver got a flat ture on the way and so that caused delay. I was okay with this delay since the driver was responsive . The only issue is my kid who the car was for became impatient and rightfully so since she was up at 7am waiting for car to arrive around 8am since driver told us early delivery and it was now 6pm. I had to call driver a few times. That driver initially responded kindly but became irritable after he got stuck in traffic. Then he and Nextgen attempted to force me to accept the car being dropped at a different location which was not acceptable since i requested door to door and there was access for the driver. The driver went ahead and moved the car but his tude changed as if I was the problem. Them trying to force a different drop location takes it down 1 stars. Even my pick up was not technically door to door but i accomodated even though trucks of that size easily acceas my street. I refused to accomodate for my teen daughter in college however. She was not going to walk far approaching night. Im guessing the traffic caused the irritability and maybe there really was a GPS issue, but it changed my experience. In any case the driver did move the car closer and my child did get the car . Driver drove off as soon as keys were handed and didn't even wait any time to check car. He told her nothing was needed. I guess his job was done but it seeed like a rough transaction. I prepaid so my child would not have to worry about cash or using pay apps but now im thinking that might have been a mistake idk. I shipped a car before and usually you do inspection before and inspection after, then sign. Again, it was the rushing and pressure from both driver and Nexgen to accept diff drop location that made this less than 5 star experience. I had just talked to driver the day before and thought everything was okay. Then i got bombarded by call from Nextgen saying driver needs kid to pick up elsewhere else because he cant get into apartments. The area is busy but my kid's unit was a townhome that sits off the busy path near a diff access point the driver could easily access and there were no gates. I emphasized with Nextgen door to door was not negotiable. The driver reluctantly moved the vehicle but initially he attempted to decline and was noticeably upset. He said he's using address broker gave ...so maybe something was lost in communication idk but i did tell driver when he first picked up exactly how to get to unit without issue for his truck. Nexgen did call me after to apologize and address my concern. Nexgen explained a different dispatcher engaged since it was after hours and was that dispatcher was not aware of the door to door requirement. Since Nexgen apologized for the miscommunication and car did get delivered closer i moved it from 3 star to 4 star.Posted on Google Leke BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
