"Hi [Member Name Removed]. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We have looked into your case and we would like to apologize for the delay in your mattress delivery. We are able to provide an estimate, but our pick-up and delivery dates are never guaranteed - something we always mention at the time of booking. We assure you that we have absolutely no interest in deceiving you or any of our customers. We apologize for any miscommunication that has occurred. As a long-distance service, we rely on a chain of multiple trucks coordinating multiple schedules and shipments from all regions of the country. Unfortunately, some circumstances are just out of our control and we are truly sorry for the delay you have experienced. Our support team has been in contact with you and we are making every effort to ensure this situation is resolved as quickly as possible. Thanks again for your feedback and please, don't hesitate to contact our customer service if you need any further assistance."
"First, we would like to apologize for the way your item arrived at your house and for the damage to your item. We would however like to note, the whole item was wrapped in cardboard to prevent rubbing and scratching, then shrink wrapped on top. It was blanket wrapped in transit as well. When it showed up with damages, we sent a professional repair person to fix the item to the customer's satisfaction. We did not think a refund was warranted because the item was packaged as requested and fixed upon delivery."
"All Angie's List reviews are true and real. Please do not stop using Angie's List because of us. As noted, our member rating is high, as it should be, but unfortunately we do have a very low damage rate of 3%. For those members who need still to ship, we recommend shipping insurance for these scenarios. This member is yet to submit their insurance claim with our carrier. We would like to apologize for our carrier's incompetent behavior, but we are unable to help this member unless they submit their claim. We ask that they submit their claim and we will help to move it along quickly. Thank you."
I am disappointed that I cannot give a positive review to Transit Systems, but I have to be honest. My initial interaction with the company was very pleasant and informative, and given the positive online reviews, it seemed obvious that Transit Systems was the right company to transport a trunkful of goods from San Diego, CA, to San Antonio, TX. In our initial conversation, Isaac estimated that it would take about 3 weeks for the items to arrive, and he was very reassuring that the move would be done professionally. After taking my credit card information and promptly charging my card on February 8, Isaac said that he would call with specific information about pickup and dropoff times within a couple of days. That is when the delays started.
Isaac originally estimated that my goods would be picked up within 2 weeks, and after hearing nothing at all from him for three weeks, I left Isaac a telephone message because he was out of the office. He never called me back, but two days later, I received a call from Nancy, who said that the pickup would be the following Friday at about Noon. The pickup was indeed on Friday, but almost 3 hours later than the original estimate. Because of the faulty estimate, I had to skip an important luncheon. Instead of attending, I sat at home watching the time go by.
Once the drivers finally arrived, they were very polite and professional. They carefully assessed the trunk itself, and they moved it into their truck with care. My impression was that it would take them about 2 weeks to get the trunk to San Antonio. Instead, it arrived in about 3 weeks, but it was in very good shape, and the drivers were just as polite at the end of the trip as they had been at the beginning.
Because I was charged over $650 on February 8 for a “three week” delivery that actually took six weeks, I realized that I should give Isaac a chance to make amends rather than simply write a negative review. So I left a message for him on March 31 describing my experience and asking that he return my phone call. When we talked, he agreed that it would probably be appropriate to provide some compensation for the delay. However, it is now two weeks later, and although I left a second message, I have not heard back from him. All I have received is a request from Transit Systems that I write a review of my experience with their service. As you can see, it was a very mixed bag.
"We regret that this member felt a lack of communication from our sales reps . He (or another customer service rep) should have been in better contact with this member. However, we would like to note that this shipment did deliver in our standard time frame. Our terms and conditions are clearly state that pick up is estimated within 15 business days and our estimated delivery should be within 20 business days of the pickup. The pickup happened just outside of 15 business days and the delivery happened in 17 business days. We should have set the right expectations from the beginning, but is again we would like to note that it is the verbiage from the terms and conditions. Our sales rep should not have stated 2-3 weeks, that was too confusing. Our sales rep did call to explain that there isn't anything we can do for the 'delay' because as stated above we were in our estimated time frame. Thank you for writing a review and we would like to apologize to this member for missing an important luncheon and for the inconvenience."
"We would like to thank this member for posting a review and for uploading a photo. The photos are very helpful with shipments. The reason boxes can be crushed is because they are packed incorrectly. For future customers, please refer to our "how to pack a box" page under our FAQs. Boxes need to be fully packed to protect them from being crushed. We realize that this member purchased insurance but unfortunately they under insured their items. We tried to help by insuring a few items that we do not normally insure - we did try to help and remedy the situation. We truly do try to meet our customer's expectations but it is difficult when items are under insured and boxes are improperly packed. This member was for a fraction of what he insured them for from the shipping insurance, even though he states he was not. We regret that this member was unhappy with his shipment."
