Got me to waste $211....
I had a tracking number, which I could use to track my shipment, but when i talk to the customer service, they can't track my shipment unless they have pro number, which I never got. OK, anyways I can track it with my tracking number, so I guess it's OK until I noticed that they were logging events 4-5 hours ahead of time. Arrived at Seattle 2pm, and I'm in seattle looking at my clock it says 9AM. It's OK, they must have a time machine... Shipment that I was receiving I needed to transfer over to plastic pallets from the wood pallet, since last time it broke. After just replacing the pallet, I need to send it out to another state. There was 7 pallets, I wanted to ask if I can just replace the pallets at the seattle terminal and be sent out, instead of bringing the pallet all the way to my location. Address on Google maps was just an empty parking lot. When I called customer service they refer me to local terminal number, but no on answers. Google doesn't know any other locations. Their tracking prediction was correct, because truck driver called me at 3pm, when I asked him about my idea, he said dispatcher will call me. And he did. This guy right off the first sentence sounding really rude. So you want to refuse the shipment?! I said no... I was wondering, instead of you bringing me the 7 pallets, I can go there just to change the pallets and have it sent out. I will even use your trucking company to do so. He said, NO, you have to receive the shipment at your location right now or I'm going to send it back to the sender and it will be all on you. I don't know why he has to be so hostile in his tone. I asked him nicely again, if he can keep my pallets there one night, since it was already late in the afternoon for me to go change pallets. He said that will be refusal of receive and he will send the shipment back right now. I asked for a favor he denied, no big deal. I told him OK, go ahead and bring it over then. After I hang up I called storage to store 7 pallets for a night. All the places didn't rent storage for few days, only one month minimum. I ran over to sign the contract, before the shipment arrived. Costed me $211. It's Ok, may be I will find a use for it for the remaining of the month to store something. Waited and waited... and the Freaking #@#%$ shipment never gets delivered that night!!!! After all that dispatcher's threatening me that he will send it back if I don't accept it right now just rings in my head.... and what a waste of $211..... What makes me most unhappy about the whole incident is the tone of the dispatcher on the phone... why he was so angry .... very dissatisfied with their customer service.
