Alaska Car Transport Disappointing Experience with Alaska Car Transport: Late Delivery and Lack of Communication

I gotta say, I was pretty bummed out with my experience with Alaska Car Transport. I mean, my car did eventually make it from Alaska to Washington, but it took way longer than I was expecting. Like, I talked to one of their consultants and we agreed on a timeline for delivery, but then my car just sat at the port for two whole weeks before it even got picked up for truck transport to my final destination.

Now, I did my research before choosing Alaska Car Transport, and their website said that the average time for movement from my starting point to my end point was 13 days. But my car was just chillin' at the port for longer than that whole average time! And the worst part was that I didn't get any updates from the company or the transportation provider during that whole time. So I had to rearrange my work and personal plans to make up for the late delivery.

Honestly, the cost of using Alaska Car Transport was pretty steep, but the consultant I talked to was super confident that my car would arrive on time. If I had known it was gonna take this long, I would have gone with a different company. The service just wasn't worth the price tag.

So yeah, I wouldn't recommend using Alaska Car Transport.

Alaska Car Transport Review: Alaska Car Transport Falls Short in Customer Service and Value

As I was on the hunt to find a reliable car transportation company, I came across Alaska Car Transport. While I was initially impressed with their service, which seemed to offer quality transportation at a fair price, I stumbled upon another company that made me rethink my decision.

This new company provided free shipping on personal effects in a vehicle for veterans and active duty military personnel. As a veteran myself, I was certainly appreciative of this gesture, and after getting a quote from them, I found that their offering was significantly lower than Alaska Car Transport's. This was a major factor in my ultimately deciding to go with them instead.

In addition, I found the customer service at Alaska Car Transport to be somewhat lacking. Whenever I called to inquire about their shipping procedures or pricing, I often found the customer service representatives to be impatient and short in their responses. It almost seemed as if they were trying to get me off the phone as quickly as possible, which didn't give me much confidence in the company as a whole.

For example, when I called their phone number, which is ***828, I was quickly greeted by a representative. However, when I asked if they had an email address where I could provide feedback to help them improve their processes, I was put on hold for an extended period of time. After ten minutes, I ended up disconnecting.

While I wouldn't necessarily discourage others from using Alaska Car Transport, I would suggest that they consider all their options before making a final decision. The lack of good customer service was a bit of a red flag for me, and in the end, it was enough to make me choose another company.

Alaska Car Transport Disappointing Experience with Alaska Car Transport: Lackluster Customer Service and High Fees

At first glance, Alaska Car Transport seems like a reliable company to transport your vehicle across the country. However, my recent experience with them was less than satisfactory, unfortunately. Although I have used this service twice before with no issues, my last encounter was disappointing. The driver who was scheduled to pick up my car did not arrive on time, causing a major inconvenience for me as my other moving plans had to be postponed. Despite being informed that I would be kept in the loop if any changes were made, I had to reach out to the company myself to find out the reason behind the delay. To make matters worse, when I finally received a response, the lady on the phone did not have a proper status update on my vehicle, which only added to my frustration.

My vehicle was eventually picked up, but the lateness meant that I had to change my travel plans which cost me extra money. Unfortunately, reaching out to the customer service department proved to be an exercise in frustration. The wait times were long, and I felt like I couldn't put aside half an hour of my workday to wait on hold. I sent a couple of emails asking for some kind of compensation, but I received no responses in turn. It seems like Alaska Car Transport is solely interested in collecting payment rather than providing quality customer service.

Overall, I was disappointed in the level of service I received from Alaska Car Transport. I will not be using their services again, mainly because of their lackluster customer service and high fees. If you are looking for quality service to transport your vehicle, I suggest looking elsewhere.

Alaska Car Transport Review: Alaska Car Transport - Satisfactory Shipping Process; Needs Improvement in Customer Service

Alaska Car Transport (alaskacartransport.com) is a company that offers shipping services for vehicles across the USA. Their shipping process is incredibly easy, which made the whole experience stress-free for me. However, my vehicle took longer to arrive than what was initially informed to me, but I was not too disappointed as it was during the holiday season, and the weather conditions were not ideal. Overall, I would rate my experience with their shipping services as satisfactory.

However, my experience with their customer service left a lot to be desired. In order to track my car, I contacted their chat personnel several times, but only received one response which I couldn't see as they closed the chat before I could read it. Moreover, my messages were either never read or read but with no response from the same two female representatives. This lack of communication left me frustrated and feeling stuck, as I was in the dark regarding the status of my vehicle. Eventually, I had to email the company to get a response and find out about my car's location and estimated delivery date.

While Alaska Car Transport's shipping process was easy and satisfactory, their customer service definitely needs some improvement. A company is only as good as its people, and in this case, their chat representatives need to work on their communication skills and be more helpful towards customers. If their customer service was more accommodating, my rating for the company would have been a five-star instead of a three-star.

Alaska Car Transport Review of Alaska Car Transport: Poor Communication and Misinformation

When it comes to shipping a car, it's important to choose a reliable and trustworthy company to ensure that your vehicle arrives at its destination safely and promptly. Unfortunately, Alaska Car Transport (alaskacartransport.com) does not seem to fit the bill, according to several reviews posted online.

One common complaint among customers is the company's poor communication. Many people have reported difficulty in getting ahold of the company or receiving accurate information about shipment details. Some have said that it took days to receive a call back, and others have had to wait on hold for an hour or more just to speak to someone.

In addition, there have been issues with misinformation about dropoff, ship times, and pickups. Some customers were told that they needed to have their vehicles dropped off by a specific time to make it onto a particular barge, only to find out later that they had missed the cutoff and would have to wait longer for their car to be shipped. This kind of miscommunication can be frustrating and costly for customers who have made plans around a specific shipping schedule.

While it's true that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes arise during the shipping process, it's troubling to see so many complaints about Alaska Car Transport's communication and customer service. Many customers have expressed frustration that the company does not seem to be addressing these issues or making an effort to improve.

If you're in the market to ship a car and considering Alaska Car Transport, it might be worth looking into other options. While they may offer competitive pricing or other benefits, it's worth considering whether the hassle and inconvenience of dealing with poor communication and misinformation is worth it in the end.

Alaska Car Transport Review of Alaska Car Transport: Frustrating Experience with Lack of Communication

Alaska Car Transport can definitely be described as a frustrating experience according to a recent client. Having shipped their car from Oregon to Alaska, the client was left in the dark after initial booking, with a complete lack of communication from the company. It has been pointed out that the company contract stipulates communication regarding the car's journey from departure to arrival, yet the client received no updates at all.

Feeling apprehensive, the client did not receive news about the car being put aboard the barge or leaving port, which left a lot to be desired. Even more concerning is the fact that the client did not receive a notification when the vehicle was ready for pick-up, even though this was a promised benefit in the contract. This caused a lot of uncertainty for the client, who had no idea if their beloved car was even in Alaska.

Several days after the scheduled pick-up date, the client was tired of being kept in the dark and decided to hold on the phone until they could speak to someone. Three excruciating hours later, an unfriendly lady answered and told them the car had arrived, but she had no idea when they would be able to pick it up. With no specific details given, the client was frustrated and left uncertain about the status of their vehicle.

Eventually, the client made the 300-mile journey to the company's office in Valdez, exhausted and unsure about what to expect. After navigating through some tough security checks, they politely asked for their car. It was then that they were informed by a very friendly gentleman that it had been there for five days, but they had no idea when or if the client would ever claim it.

The client's expectations of the company were beyond unmet. With a lack of communication from Alaska Car Transport and their arrogant attitude despite their promises, the client was left feeling frustrated, exhausted and worse of all, uncertain about the safety and whereabouts of their car. It’s safe to say they would never use this company again, and it is understandable why.

Alaska Car Transport Mixed experience with Alaska Car Transport: Great customer service, but communication issues with delivery and updates

I recently utilized the services of Alaska Car Transport, and while there were a few hiccups in the process, overall I had a positive experience. I must give a big shoutout to Zack who was incredibly patient with me and answered all of my questions, no matter how silly they may have seemed. As this was my first time shipping my vehicle, I appreciated his reassurance and support throughout the process.

However, once my car was dropped off a week in advance, the communication from the company seemed to falter. I was not informed that my car had missed the first original ship date until I followed up with them myself. To make matters worse, I was told that I would receive an email with new arrival information, which never materialized. Subsequent calls to the company yielded little progress, and I found myself constantly having to follow up for updates and information.

The company responsible for delivering my car also had their fair share of issues. They failed to have my second delivery address on file and were late in delivering the car. It was only after calling them myself and demanding to know their ETA that I received any sort of information.

While I understand that unforeseen events can occur in any industry, I felt disappointed that as a paying customer, I was not kept informed throughout the process. As I am still making payments on my car, it was even more important for me to be updated on its whereabouts. That being said, I still believe that Alaska Car Transport is a reputable company, and I appreciate their efforts to ensure that my car was safely transported to its final destination.

Alaska Car Transport Disappointing Customer Service Experience with Alaska Car Transport

When I came across Alaska Car Transport, I had high hopes to transport my SUV from Alaska to Seattle with them. I was curious to know more and gave them a call. I was pleasantly surprised as their customer service agent provided me with all the necessary information and thoroughly explained their shipping policies without any hesitation. Being a cautious consumer, I asked for a reservation without any obligation to take the services, and the agent was happy to provide me with the same.

However, my wife found a better deal with a different company just four days later, and I had to cancel my booking reservation. I contacted Alaska Car Transport to notify them of my decision, but it turned out to be a nightmare. I waited on hold for over two hours without any luck. My frustration reached its peak, and I asked my colleague to call them on my behalf, and to my surprise, they promptly picked up the call. When I got on the line, their agent started questioning my decision to cancel and acted in denial when I told them that we found a cheaper option. I could sense their reluctance to assist me, and it was not an easy conversation.

Their customer service skills were unsatisfactory, and it seemed like they screen their calls to avoid dealing with difficult situations. I tried calling back, but nobody picked up, and I was left on hold once again. It was only when I dialed their number from a different phone that they immediately answered.

Despite the previous unpleasant conversations, I explained the situation to the new agent, and he took the initiative to find out more about my booking while verifying that I did find a better deal and marked it in the notes. Unfortunately, even then, I was hung up on. The overall experience left me feeling frustrated and let down, and I cannot say I would recommend this company based on my personal experiences with them.

Alaska Car Transport Disappointing Experience with Alaska Car Transport: Poor Communication & Customer Service

When I needed to transport my daughter's car from Washington to Alaska, I turned to Alaska Car Transport with high hopes. Unfortunately, my experience with this company was less than ideal. The lady who checked in the car at the port was less than welcoming when she saw that the vehicle wasn't as clean as she had expected. This was disappointing, as I had made a special effort to have the car washed on the way to the drop-off point, despite the rainy weather.

To make matters worse, my daughter was unable to get through to the customer service number listed in the itinerary we were provided. She left several voice messages with no response. We were promised a call back from a supervisor, but none ever came. When the date we were told the vehicle would be available for pick-up came and went with no communication from Alaska Car Transport, my daughter was understandably concerned.

Days later, she finally received a call from the storage facility informing her that her car was ready for pick-up. I was relieved that we could finally get the vehicle back, but I was disappointed in the lack of communication and customer service we experienced. I'm hoping that there aren't any damages, but I don't have a lot of faith in the company. If you're considering using Alaska Car Transport, I would suggest looking for other options to avoid any headaches and confusion.

Alaska Car Transport Poor Communication and Stressful Experience with Alaska Car Transport

My experience with Alaska Car Transport (alaskacartransport.com) was not a pleasant one. Unfortunately, I encountered multiple issues, all of which stemmed from poor communication from the ACT team. I had booked my car for shipment in June, and while booking the shipment was quick, trying to get hold of the team for further questions and concerns proved to be impossible. Upon booking, I was informed that I could bring my car in on a Tuesday, which was convenient for me since I had an exam on Monday. However, when I called to clarify a different question, I was informed that I had to bring it in on Monday instead. This meant that I had to pack up my car on the day before my exam and someone else had to take it in for me.

When I finally dropped off my car, everything went fine. However, I was told that I would receive emails about the status of my shipment and when my car had been received, when it was at sea, and when it had arrived. Unfortunately, I never received any of these emails, which left me in the dark regarding the status of my shipment.

Additionally, I was informed that my car would be available for pickup one day after arrival. When that day rolled around, I called customer service to confirm the pickup time, only to be told that I would have to wait anywhere from 1-5 days for the final inspection. This was not feasible for me, as I needed my car for work and could not wait that long. I attempted to get in touch with the port directly, but received no response.

Ultimately, I ended up showing up at the port and Matson, the shipping partner of ACT, was able to get my car to me. However, the entire process was incredibly stressful and negatively impacted my experience.

In the future, I will not be booking with Alaska Car Transport again and will opt to go directly through Matson. The only reason I am not giving this company a one-star review is because my car was not damaged during shipment.

Alaska Car Transport Nightmare Experience with Alaska Car Transport: Avoid at All Costs

Alaska Car Transport (alaskacartransport.com) is certainly worth reconsidering if you are in need of car shipping services. While they purport to be a brokerage, it is important to note that they are not the actual shipping company. This could be a red flag for those who desire more guidance during the process.

Unfortunately, my experience with this company proved to be a nightmare. After requesting and receiving a quote for car shipping to Alaska, I dropped off my car at the shipping dock, only to find that there were no ACT personnel present. Without anyone to take payment or complete necessary shipping papers, I turned to the shipping company clerk for assistance. To my surprise, they advised me of previous complaints and issues with ACT.

When I contacted ACT to express my frustrations, I was met with unprofessional behavior by the representative on the other end of the line. In fact, their response was borderline violent and threatening. They accused me of failing to complete shipping documents and insisted that my car would be shipped whether I wanted it to or not. I was left with no choice in the matter, feeling as though my car had been held hostage.

To make matters worse, when trying to get my car back once it arrived, ACT informed me that I could not inspect the car until I signed a "hold harmless" waiver. They would also charge me $50 for every day they held onto my car, with disposal being the end result if I didn't act soon enough. This seemed completely unreasonable to me, leaving me feeling helpless and frustrated.

To avoid similar issues in the future, I highly recommend dealing directly with the shipping company, not a brokerage. This will give you more control over the process and may prevent such nightmares from occurring. Overall, my experience with Alaska Car Transport was a harrowing one that I wouldn't wish upon anyone.

Alaska Car Transport Disappointing Experience with Alaska Car Transport: Delayed Delivery and Lack of Communication

I was really excited to get my Camaro shipped with Alaska Car Transport. They estimated that it would take 2-3 weeks to get my car to me. However, it's been over a month now and I still haven't received my car. I've been trying to get a straight answer from them about when my car will arrive, but it seems like they don't really know what's going on.

I paid over 4K for this service and I feel like I'm not getting what I paid for. When I called them two weeks ago for an update, they told me that they were "working on it" and that they would call me back in a week. But they never did. When I called them today, the supervisor told me that they were "on the phone with the carrier" and that they would let me know when there was an update.

Honestly, I wish I had picked another company to ship my car. At this rate, it would have been cheaper and faster for me to just fly in, rent a U-Haul with a car carrier, and drive my car home myself.

I'm really disappointed with Alaska Car Transport and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I only gave them one star because zero stars wasn't an option. Don't waste your money with this company.

Alaska Car Transport Unimpressed with Alaska Car Transport: Poor Service and Damage to Vehicle

I recently used Alaska Car Transport to move my car from one state to another, and I have to say, I was not impressed with their service. While their estimator tool is convenient, it only works to the nearest state capital, which resulted in a 10% upcharge for my actual location.

Another issue I had was with their pickup schedule. I requested a Monday morning pickup, but they showed up on Saturday night without any prior notification or indication of a realistic time via email. This was quite inconvenient for me, as I had to rearrange my plans to accommodate their early arrival.

To make matters worse, my vehicle was transported to Seattle via the cheapest transit, which resulted in it being peppered with sand and gravel inside and out. This made it difficult to identify any damage that may have occurred during transport.

At the port, I noticed a large stack of papers with the contact information to submit a claim for Alaska Car Transport. Interestingly, there were no other stacks for other companies. While this may be a coincidence, I can't help but wonder if it's intentional.

If you do need to file a claim, be aware that it needs to be done within 10 days and requires two professional repair estimates. This can be quite difficult to arrange, especially if you pick up your car around the holidays like I did.

Overall, I would not recommend Alaska Car Transport. If you value your money and your car, I suggest looking elsewhere for a more reliable and professional service.

Alaska Car Transport Alaska Car Transport: Unreliable and Unprofessional Service

I tried to use Alaska Car Transport to ship my car in early April. I dropped off my car on April 14th, as we had scheduled. It was supposed to be transported from Fairbanks to Anchorage on the 18th, but it ended up sitting there for a while. I didn't hear anything from them until April 28th, which was the day it was supposed to be delivered to Washington. I decided to make a post on Facebook calling them out for forgetting about my car.

After I made the post, a friend of mine went to the port to check on my car. They found the shipping personnel push starting my car, which killed the brand new battery. They drove my car to the inspection facility and around the port, all of which was captured on video. Then they contacted me and said that my vehicle was non-running and inoperable. They told me that they wouldn't ship the car without an additional $1400 fee for the vehicle not running.

I'm really frustrated with Alaska Car Transport right now. They're refusing to ship my car and are holding it, as well as the money I initially paid, hostage until I pay this ridiculous extra charge. I'll update this review if anything changes, but as of right now, I'm not happy with their service.

Alaska Car Transport Alaska Car Transport Review: Unresponsive Customer Service and Delayed Delivery

I recently had the unfortunate experience of using Alaska Car Transport to have my car transported to its destination. At the outset, I was given the impression that I could expect my car to be delivered in just three weeks. However, to my dismay, my car did not move an inch during that time, leaving me feeling frustrated and disappointed with their services.

The most frustrating aspect of my experience was that communicating with Alaska Car Transport proved to be virtually impossible. Despite my repeated efforts to contact them, I was met with unresponsive or inadequate customer service. This not only added stress to the already arduous process of moving, but it also left me in a state of confusion regarding the status of my vehicle.

As someone who has used various vehicle transport carriers in the past, I can confidently say that Alaska Car Transport provided the worst experience of my life. I would strongly advise anyone considering their services to think twice and explore alternative options. There are many trustworthy and reliable transport carriers available and there is no reason to settle for services that fall so short of expectations.

Alaska Car Transport Unprofessional Behavior from Alaska Car Transport's Customer Support Representative - A Review

I recently had a rather unpleasant experience while trying to inquire about shipping an enclosed trailer with Alaska Car Transport. Being a prospective customer, I called their customer support department to get a rate quote. However, to my dismay, I was informed that they only deal with car shipments and not cargo trailers. I fully understand that every business has its own limitations, but what really ticked me off was the unprofessional and rude behavior from the customer support representative. Instead of politely explaining their restrictions, the representative simply hung up on me without any further explanation or attempting to assist me in any way.

I felt really disrespected and annoyed with the way this situation was handled. I believe that a customer-oriented business should always be focused on delivering a positive customer experience, irrespective of whether they can fulfill their customer's particular request or not. In my opinion, the behavior displayed by the customer support representative at Alaska Car Transport was uncalled for and completely unprofessional. It left a sour taste in my mouth and I would seriously reconsider dealing with them in the future.

Furthermore, I believe that customer service should be a top priority for any business as it plays a critical role in building trust and loyalty with customers. A vital aspect of great customer service is the ability to communicate effectively and politely, even when telling a customer something that is not aligned with their expectations. Doing so can go a long way in fostering positive relationships with customers and will ultimately lead to long-term business success.

In summary, I was incredibly disappointed with my experience with Alaska Car Transport. While I fully understand their limitations, I expect businesses to be professional and respectful even in situations where they cannot fulfill the needs of every customer. I hope that they take the necessary steps to address these shortcomings and improve their customer service moving forward.

Alaska Car Transport Not Worth the Hype: My Disappointing Experience with Alaska Car Transport

My experience with Alaska Car Transport was a complete disappointment. Unfortunately, the service I received left a lot to be desired. Firstly, the price I was quoted was exorbitant and felt like a complete rip-off. Additionally, the company gave me the wrong date for the arrival of my car. This left me feeling frustrated and I was forced to follow up by calling the shipping company myself to confirm that my car had indeed arrived.

I was extremely disappointed in the lack of communication and customer service that I received. After reaching out to the company requesting an update, I never received a call back. This experience has left a bad taste in my mouth and unfortunately, I will not be using this company again in the future. In fact, I have warned my friends and family against using their services and have left a negative review on every internet platform that I can find as a result.

It's unfortunate that my experience was so negative as I was really looking forward to working with them. However, their lack of professionalism and inefficiency has made me regret my decision to use them. I truly hope that they can improve their services and provide better support for their customers in the future.

Alaska Car Transport Alaska Car Transport Review: Good Communication, Long Delivery Time

I recently used Alaska Car Transport to ship my vehicle from Alaska to Tennessee. Unfortunately, the delivery process took longer than expected, as it ended up taking two whole months to get my truck delivered. I was initially told that my vehicle was on its way to Tacoma via barge, but then received an email a week later stating that it had just arrived in Anchorage. This was a bit confusing as it took several weeks for my truck to reach Anchorage from Fairbanks.

The delivery address for my vehicle was originally supposed to be my home, which is located three hours away from Nashville, Tennessee. However, my vehicle ended up being delivered to Nashville sooner than expected, despite the change in destination.

While I was not entirely satisfied with the delivery timeline or the change in destination, I will say that Alaska Car Transport did keep me updated throughout the process. I received regular updates via email and phone calls from their customer service team. Additionally, my vehicle arrived in good condition with no damage or issues.

Overall, while I did have some issues with the timeline and delivery destination, I appreciate the effort put forth by Alaska Car Transport to keep me in the loop and deliver my vehicle in good condition. I would recommend this shipping company to others, but also advise them to be prepared for potential delays or complications during the delivery process.

Alaska Car Transport Negative Review: Damaged Vehicle and Confusion Around Pickup Location with Alaska Car Transport

The experience of using Alaska Car Transport unfortunately resulted in a damaged vehicle for this reviewer, as their 2002 Lincoln LSE had suffered a badly cracked front bumper cover. In a concerning move, it appeared that whoever had caused the damage had attempted to conceal it by applying a black paste over much of it. This unfortunately meant that the cover would need to be fully replaced to repair the damage.

The reviewer also noted some confusion around where their vehicle had been picked up from, as the transport driver had claimed they collected it in Seattle, despite the paperwork indicating a Tacoma pickup location. While this may have been a minor issue, it certainly added to what was likely already a frustrating and stressful experience for the reviewer.

All in all, this reviewer did not have a positive experience with Alaska Car Transport. While it is possible that their unfortunate experience was a one-off, it is certainly something for potential customers to be aware of when considering this company.

Alaska Car Transport Disappointing Experience with Alaska Car Transport - A Review of A Failed Service

When I decided to hire Alaska Car Transport (alaskacartransport.com) to transport my vehicle, I had high expectations. Unfortunately, I was left feeling disappointed with the experience. While I purchased my transport a month before the scheduled pickup date, I found myself frustrated by the lack of communication leading up to it. Neither the company nor the driver had reached out to me until less than 24 hours prior to pickup. When I attempted to contact customer service, I was left on hold for 3-4 hours with no resolution, and even worse, customer service reps hung up on me mid-conversation.

Despite the initial communication issues, I held out hope that my vehicle would arrive in good condition and on time. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. My car arrived almost three weeks late, and when it finally did, it was in terrible condition. So much so that I was forced to sell it. What makes matters worse, I never received any communication from Alaska Car Transport regarding the whereabouts of my vehicle and to add salt to the wound, I was never told that it even arrived.

The experience felt like an uphill battle from start to finish, unfortunately, Alaska Car Transport did not live up to the promises and expectations presented on their website. While transport delays due to weather and unforeseen circumstances are understandable, the lack of communication and poor customer service made for a disappointing experience overall.

Alaska Car Transport Review of Alaska Car Transport: Hassle-free with some bumps in the road

When I decided to use Alaska Car Transport to ship my car from San Diego to Anchorage, I had high hopes for a hassle-free experience. Unfortunately, the process got off to a bit of a rocky start. Despite having arranged for the pick up of my car from my residence in San Diego county, I received a last-minute call on the day of pick up asking me to drop it off at a different location. To add insult to injury, I was asked to take an Uber back home. After pointing out the inconvenience this would cause, there was a bit of back-and-forth with the driver before we were able to come to a compromise.

While I initially chose Alaska Car Transport because their quote was higher, I was disappointed to find that communication with the company was not as straightforward as I hoped it would be. There were several instances where I had trouble getting in touch with them or getting clear answers to my questions. However, to their credit, my car arrived in Anchorage on time and the process of retrieving it was effortless.

Overall, while the experience with Alaska Car Transport was not entirely without issue, it ended on a positive note. If you're looking to ship your car to Alaska, and are willing to tolerate a few minor bumps in the road, they could be a good option for you.

Alaska Car Transport Mixed Experience with Alaska Car Transport: Competitive Pricing but Poor Customer Service and Communication

I recently had the opportunity to use the services of Alaska Car Transport to transport my car from Anchorage to Seattle and was pleased with the online quote that I received. The pricing was competitive, and my car did, in fact, make it to its destination for the amount of money quoted. However, while there were no issues during transportation, I was left feeling quite dissatisfied with the customer service and communication aspects of the experience.

One significant issue we encountered was that there were some problems that arose during the transportation process, and we, as customers, were never notified until the scheduled day of drop-off. This lack of communication and lack of proactivity left us feeling uncertain and frustrated as we had to problem solve on our own. Further, when we raised these concerns, we were met with significant attitude from the staff, which left us feeling even more let down.

To further exacerbate these issues, I later received a call from the company stating that my vehicle was ready, only to find out that was not the case. Had I not taken it upon myself to confirm this information with the port, I would have been left waiting around without any real answers or updates.

Overall, while the online quote was competitive and the transportation services themselves seemed acceptable, I was extremely unhappy with the level of customer service and communication provided by Alaska Car Transport. My advice to others would be to perhaps consider scheduling directly with a carrier or at the very least, being very clear with Alaska Car Transport about your expectations and concerns before booking, to avoid any added frustration or disappointment.

Alaska Car Transport Mixed Experience Shipping with Alaska Car Transport - Great Service, Poor Delivery

I recently utilized Alaska Car Transport to ship my vehicle and would like to share my overall experience. To start, I must say that Eric was a godsend throughout the entire process. As a first-time user of transport services, I admittedly had no idea what steps to take. However, Eric guided me every step of the way and made everything much easier to navigate.

Unfortunately, while the customer service was top-notch, I did have some issues when it came to the actual delivery of my vehicle. The driver who dropped off my car did not verify my ID and chose to park in what I deemed an unsafe location - smack in the center lane of a busy five-lane road. Additionally, he did not allow my husband to check the condition of the car before signing off on delivery.

To make matters worse, the drop-off location was not the agreed-upon spot, which forced my husband and me to walk an unpleasant 20 minutes in the pouring rain. It was then that I learned from the trucking company that their policy dictates that if the driver can't drop off at the pre-arranged location, he or she must take it upon themselves to drive the vehicle to that spot. Despite the company's reassurances, the driver failed to adhere to this practice.

After calling Alaska Car Transport to report the driver's negligence, I was informed that he had violated many of their policies in his subpar performance. Overall, I must commend Eric for his unwavering support, but the driver I was assigned had some serious shortfalls that caused me unnecessary stress.

Alaska Car Transport Nightmare Experience with Alaska Car Transport: Unprofessionalism, Poor Customer Service, and Refusal to Escalate Issues

My experience with Alaska Car Transport was a complete nightmare. The level of unprofessionalism demonstrated by their staff was absolutely abhorrent. It took me a full week to even get through to someone on the phone, as they keep you in a never-ending loop with a receptionist picking up only once out of every five or six calls. Once I finally did manage to speak to someone, they were completely unhelpful and gave me nothing but the runaround. To make matters worse, when I asked to speak to a manager about my experience, the receptionist completely refused to put me through.

As someone who has worked in customer service before, I understand that policies are often out of the control of individual employees. However, the treatment I received from Alaska Car Transport's staff goes beyond simple policy adherence. Their behavior was deeply disrespectful and left a sour taste in my mouth. All in all, I would advise anyone looking to transport a vehicle to stay far, far away from this terrible company.
