Joe Alaimo Beware of Shipping Co.s Miami Florida

If you are shipping a car and need a shipping company, beware of the soft sell to get you signed up.  I called New Way Shipping out of Miami, Fl and spoke to the broker Nicki.  I asked all the important questions like, Is the quote bonifed, is there any bump up prices later, and was assured that they were a legimate company and a legimate quote.  I was asked to make a $150.00 deposit to insure my quote which I did, I would pay the driver $300.00 for a total of $450.00.  I got an email conformation from them stating my car would be picked up between April 18th and the 24th.  Well it's the 28th and just got a phone call from New Way that a driver has been located to make a pickup and that I would have to pay the driver $400.00.  I was told that there would be no drivers available at the old quote till Fall.  Now they have your deposit, you wait till the cows come home for a driver, so you have no choice but to pay the bill and get your car home.

This is the way this industry works, you'll get 25 to 30 quotes, prices are all over the place] from $375.00 up to $750.00 and you would be told the same thing, that at the low price, your car will be shipped whenever the demand is slow which could be several months or longer.  NEVER pay a deposit, Never believe what they tell you about the shipping, they must first lock you in, and they say almost anything to get you to agree.

I have had cars shipped at least 20 times and never had this happen.  Two things are important, cars coming out of Florida are always high as ALL these companies stated "oh the s****.>
