Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/10/22) */
As the Lead Customer Service Specialist, I have been asked to respond on behalf of Mayflower Transit LLC regarding the customer's request for $1,300.00 delay benefits.

While it is Mayflower Transit LLC intent to load each shipment onto one...

truck, there are times when it becomes necessary to divide a shipment among two or more trucks.
This can happen when the shipments that are loaded prior to the next pick up are greater than estimated taking up space set for the next pick up. This can be caused by additional items being added, bulkier items loaded, or a customer decides to take more than what was estimated.
Rather than jeopardize the entire shipment from being delivered late, the driver is to load essentials on the first truck so that a customer can set up their household.
Beds are considered to be essentials and it is our policy to load all beds on the main portion. However, on this move the customer instructed the driver to leave the guest bedroom set behind in the overflow portion.
The customer had a delivery spread of October 1, 2015 to October 8, 2015. The main portion arrived on October 1, 2015 and the overflow portion delivered on October 21, 2015.
The overflow portion does not qualify for delay benefits. However, we went outside the guidelines and offered the customer a $500.00 good will gesture as an apology.
The $500.00 customer service gesture will be our Full and Final Settlement and will have no impact on Cargo claims. To date the customer has not responded to accept or decline the offer.


Thank you for allowing me to respond to customer's complaint.

Dear Revdex.com, [redacted], [redacted],This is an Addendum to our Response email of Feb. 08, 2018.Going through our invoicing we again noticed that Credit Card Authorization Forms (3) emailed on 06/13/2017,07:11 CSTaddressed to both[redacted], underOrder InformationOrder Number: U 955-98-7Binding Estimate Charges: $17,709.94Total of $17,709.94 charged to credit cards:6261, $3,632.940267, $4,250.002009, $9,827.00Processed for payment on Jul 3, 2017Will attach a copy of one of these authorization forms for Proof that not only did we have the Personal Guarantee of agent [redacted] to [redacted] on 5/26/17 during his initial Estimate/visit, that United's Estimates we're Binding & Final,  But,  also over the phone to both [redacted] & [redacted] on 6/7/17 during our conversation with [redacted] who was driving down to Miami with his wife, and we Very Much Appreciated that he took the time to talk with us, just before we hired[redacted]/United and signed the contract.The ONLY reason we cancelled the other mover who not only came very highly recommended, does major moving inGainesville, FL, both for the University and for UF, Hospital, AND was cheaper by Several thousands, was because of the BINDING Contract and Personal Guarantee of Your Agent!Unfortunately the various reasons for the Supplement charges that include:*  We did not inform of Split between Storage and Rental (we have many photos of Many boxes marked Storage and Open)* Some of the packing & sorting was to have been completed before movers arrival, False, we had FULL packing contract and* NEVER, ever did [redacted] who came to our home 6/13/17, second day of packing, mention ANY extra chargesfor Extra Labour to assist with extra packing and sorting during his visit on that day or Any Other day, But he did Tell [redacted] over the phone, end of June 2017 that He did Not Recall that Storage was to be involved, more lies!Both [redacted], Jan 15, 2018, and[redacted], Feb. 1, 2018 mention this in their emails, FALSE! Unfortunately both these ladies have Not been told the Truth!The REAL reason for the HostageOver Charge is Very Apparent in [redacted]'s voicemail to [redacted] which we emailed on 2/5/18:....the driver is going to need the extra labor to sort out everything out at destination, he requested 4 men to be compensated for an additional 6 hours..So not only did [redacted], [redacted], FL Not pack the Van for Storage & Rental, But they Charged Us for Not doing their job, packing the Van was Their Responsibility, but they ALSO GOUGED us by over charging! Only two(2) gentlemen showed up at2-6pm.We are in Disbelief!We most Certainly are Responsible for the $52.85 charge for extra miles between [redacted] & Cedarburg, WI.We are asking for a Refund of:*  $629.64*  $309.75, local movers to unload heavy furniture & boxes stacked on our  dinning room table before it collapsed*  Please tell us Where our spare parts box is?* Start the repairs on the Many damagesCaused by [redacted] because they were in a rush to get to their other job that Wed/ThursA Note of Disagreement:Mrs. [redacted], Lead Customer Specialist, [redacted]Wrote we placed credit card authorization on three credit cards, Yes correct,  cards and amounts listed above, But authorization is just for the Mentioned amounts, and Your supplemental Charge is False & also mis calculated because of the labor over charge, so the fact that you charged $682.49 to our credit card 2009 this past week first,  Without our Recent Approval, and (United has not forwarded this invoice charge to us as of today), is Not Appreciated.[redacted] sent the bill of$682.49 to collections and we received a notification letter from CCC of New York dated Jan. 23, 2018.On Jan. 29, 2018 I received a call from Mrs. [redacted], Controller, [redacted], Landslide, PA, (after we had reported this Dispute to the Revdex.com). She agreed to listen to our side of the story in order to Resolve this Amicably and under dispute & because we do not want our credit to be damaged & until Dispute is final, we sent out cheque # [redacted] for $682.49 which we mailed to Mrs. [redacted] on  01/29/18.The very next  day Mrs. [redacted] called to say that she saw on her computer that United had processed $682.49 through our credit card ending in 2009. The dates were supposed to be on the previous date, not clear of when CC charge processed, and we Certainly do Not want to get Mrs. [redacted] into Trouble as she has been Very Nice, too many people involved, but please call us First before you charge anything on our credit cards.With sincere appreciation to All parties involved.[redacted] & [redacted]

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 9, 2015/06/22) */
We regret that this customer had a bad experience with their relocation. This move was booked under the authority of United Van Lines and its booking agent, Yarnall United in FL. This complaint should have been properly filed with the St....

Louis Revdex.com under United Van Lines. United has evidently already processed a claim for this customer and any further correspondence should be with their claims dept.
Final Business Response /* (1000, 20, 2015/07/15) */
We have reviewed your concerns and we do want to apologize that the services rendered did not meet your expectations. As an organization, we strive to provide a high level of customer service from the beginning of the move to the very end, including the claims process. After reviewing the claim, we paid the claimed amounts for the cement pagoda as well as the claimed amount for the lamp since the items could not be repaired. The dining room table and the dining room chair were authorized for repairs and the repair firm will return the items once the repairs are complete. Again, we want to make sure we have done everything to address your concerns.

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2016/02/05) */
As the Lead Customer Service Specialist, I have been asked to respond on behalf of United Van Lines regarding the customer's complaints. The customer is requesting compensation because the shipment delivered late.
The customer shipment was...

loaded and placed in origin Storage on November 20, 2015. The customer's estimate had a delivery spread of January 4, 2016 through January 9, 2016.
The customer contacted our offices on January 4, 2016 after arriving at destination requesting an estimated time of arrival. Unfortunately, due to an oversight, the shipment had not been scheduled. The shipment was not loaded from the warehouse until January 13, 2016 and delivered to the customer on January 22, 2016.
The delay benefits began at 5:00pm on January 9, 2016 and ended upon delivery January 22, 2016. The customer was entitled to the delay benefits of $100.00 daily allowance per their contract.
We mailed a delay claim settlement check #480906 today in the amount of $1,300.00 for 13 days delay, which has no impact on cargo claims.
We have apologized for the delay and regret that we were unable to meet the customer's expectations.

To Whom It May Concern:   After further research into this dispute we have learned that we did not accurately inform this customer of the per diem charges and have since advised the customer that the charges will not be applicable to them.   We therefore consider this matter...

resolved.  Thank you for allowing us to respond.   Regards,   [redacted]

We have emailed Ms. [redacted] a full and final settlement Release today that will need to be signed before we can issue our settlement.

Good afternoon,   As a Customer Service Specialist, I have been asked to respond on behalf of United Van Lines regarding the customer’s complaints and request for a full refund.   UniGroup, Inc., the parent company of both United Van Lines and Mayflower Transit can arrange for an...

“Alliance” which allows the other carrier to haul a shipment. This is to allow the shipment to be serviced when assigning a driver. This is explained on the customer’s Bill of Lading, Page 5, Section 2.   While it is also United Van Lines intent to load each shipment onto one truck, there are times when it becomes necessary to divide a shipment among two or more trucks.   This happens when the shipments that are loaded prior to the next pick up are greater than estimated taking up space set for the next pick up. This can be caused by additional items being added, bulkier items loaded, or a customer decides to take more than what was estimated.   Rather than jeopardize the entire shipment from being delivered late, the driver is to load essentials on the first truck so that a customer can set up their household.   The customer had a delivery spread of February 5, 2016 to February 9, 2016. The main portion arrived on February 5, 2016. The overflow portion delivered on February 13, 2016. Overflow portions do not qualify for delay benefits.   It is the van operator’s decision as to whether a not a shuttle is needed. The decision is dependent upon many factors, which include the safety and protection of property and the house hold goods to be unloaded. The customer was not charged for this shuttle service.   The customer has submitted a Cargo Claim regarding damages and missing items.  The claim will be reviewed and a settlement will be processed in accordance with the valuation they have chosen.   We did not anticipate difficulties when the move was accepted nor was it intentional in anyway.  We regret that we failed to meet the customer’s expectations.  We are unable to compensate the customer based on her perceived level of service.   Thank you,   [redacted] Customer Service / Social Media Specialist United Van Lines / Mayflower Transit   [redacted]@Unigroup.com Phone: 636.349.3822

Mayflower notified Mr. [redacted] that their Austin, Texas warehouse was closing and  storage at that property would not be available after 10/31/2016.   Mr. [redacted] was presented with several alternative delivery options including – delivering his container to a local address in Austin,...

unloading his container at the Austin warehouse, and delivery to an alternate local storage provider.  Mr. [redacted] eventually chose to have his container delivered to his parent’s address until he is ready for it to be moved to his new home.   The container was delivered to the local address Mr. [redacted] provided on 10/14/2016.  Mayflower customer service continues to communicate with Mr. [redacted] regularly and reviews of those phone calls finds no unprofessional conduct on behalf of their employees.       [redacted] Director, Transport Solutions
