Fairpricedshipping “Bait and switch”
fairpricedshipping
Here is a perfect example of how Tyler Sheff continues his/her bait and switch routine….
USHIP SHIPMENT HERE
Fairpricedshipping bid: $195
Actual cost for customer: $400.00
All inclusive bid from EngineShipping: $250.00
Customer savings using a legitimate bid with NO HIDDEN FEES: $150.00. Per Engineshippings bid (based on the actual user agreement on uship.com)
“NO HIDDEN FEE’S! IF you have requested in your bid to have a residential pickup and/or delivery it is included in the bid price. IF you require liftgate service it is included in the bid price. THERE ARE NO HIDDEN FEE’S AND/OR EXTRA CHARGES. ITEM MUST BE PALLETIZED PRIOR TO PICKUP!”
Now why would he have to put that there if Fairpricedshipping/UTi Transport Soultions agent Tyler Sheff is allowed to scam people on uship? Makes sense now that you see it happening over aond over again.
UTi Worldwide has a rouge agent that is known to scam, cheat, threaten and lie. Nice working environment.
Per uship.com user agreement( section 15): “In the event, that you charge “extra fees” (and we are made aware of this fact), uShip reserve the right to suspend or cancel your account at our sole discretion. Your bid may only include content relevant to the description of your transportation services. If you bid on any shipment and your bid is accepted by the shipper, you are obligated to perform the services offered in your bid at the accepted bid price.”
Seems Tyler Sheff @ UTi Transport Solutions (Fairpricedshipping) is being allowed to scam ith the approval of Uship. He gets flagged for his bait and switch but uship allows it. Uship then is a scammer and allows illegal activity on their site and condones the scams.
Check this out: USHIP SHIPMENT that was bid on against the uship user agreement!
Bid details from Fairpricedshipping show 100% that is bid was not in conjunction with uships user agreement. What happened? nothing as usual. Scammer stick together
uship.com allows fairpricedshipping to lie and allows (flagging it allowable) harassing posts from Tyler Sheff
fairpricedshipping
Person’s shipment that they are being harassed on uship.com: HERE
They turned down several quotes on this item and started to get harassed by the famous Tyler Sheff. When the harassing posts were flagged green, we got an email about it.
The poster ended up getting flagged for rebuttal that followed the useless uship user agreement.
Here is the excellent reply to Tyler Sheff of UTi/Fairpricedshipping
“I researched online about your company. If you really must ask, I will tell you. You are not on INC’s TOP 50 LOGISTICS COMPANIES as FAIRPRICEDSHIPPING as you stated in your profile. If you did your 200, 000 shipments as you claim (I believe that is not true either) you would be about a $30 million a year company, you would DEFINITELY show up on that list. Your MC number points to another company and when I searched you and them, you do not have the best reputation for the bids below. Hence the bid decline under “insufficient feedback” since there was not a more appropriate selection. Thank you (1/23/2009)”
“So you are saying that per your bid “We are one of the Largest Logistics Companies in the US” is not the truth, you are merely a company representative who used their employers numbers to promote their own business? Also your statement “Our extreme volume of over 200, 000 shipments per year allows us to negotiate the lowest pricing available for you!” would apply to UTiW and not directly to your company. You are correct, nowhere in your profile or bid details does it outright state that you are listed in INC top 50 but if you personally were doing that level of business, you would be listed there. SO based on the facts, you are using UTiW’s data to promote your own business, fairpricedshipping did NOT book all 200, 000 that you allude to. It seems based on some google searching and research, you are not really as big as you claim in your bid details. Also, in your feedback, you have 7 cancellations out of recent 10 matches. Not very promising on that aspect either. We are done here.”
Tyler Sheff keeps going on so here is the final post by the victim of uship and fairpricedshipping
“STOP HARASSING ME NOW. I DO NOT WANT YOUR BID, YOUR INFO OR ANY OTHER RESPONSE FROM YOU. YOU DO NOT DO THAT VOLUME, YOUR COMPANY YOU WORK FOR DOES. I CALLED UTI AND THEY INDICATED THAT YOU ARE AN AGENT ONLY AND YOUR VOLUME IS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR THE 200, 0000 YOU LIED ABOUT. YOU LIED IN YOUR BID DETAILS AND YOU ARE NOW HARASSING ME LIKE OTHER PEOPLE I FOUND ONLINE BY RESEARCHING YOUR COMPANY. YOU ARE A LIAR AND YOU CAN STOP YOUR HARASSMENT NOW SIR. (1/23/2009)”
Here is the bid info that has the lies all over it: All shipments must be Boxed, Palletized or Crated and must conform to NMFC Packaging Standards. Upon acceptance of our bid, you will be sent an email containing payment info. All shipments must be prepaid via Master Card, Visa, Amex. We are one of the Largest Logistics Companies in the US with the best feedback rating on Uship. We offer online tracking on ALL of our shipments, have peace of mind knowing where your shipment is anytime day or night! We are Fully Licensed and Bonded to LEGALLY operate in accordance with Federal Law. Our extreme volume of over 200, 000 shipments per year allows us to negotiate the lowest pricing available for you! SHIP SAFELY, only consider Federally Licensed Providers. Most shipments will be picked up within 24-48 hours from time of payment receipt. Transit time is in business days. Your pricing was based on the weight and description provided in your listing. If shipment details change, rate may increase or decrease accordingly. Shipping via Roadway Express; Terminal locations can be found ontheir website.

New Victims. Fairpricedshipping rates revealed
22/01/2009 by fairpricedshipping
Fairpricedshipping seems to think that he has the best rates but if he stopped sucking up with uship and getting legal brokers kicked off uship (yes there are many) people would see that fairpricedshipping is more like overpricedshipping
uship scam bid
Bid won: $325.00 (hid the scammer rate in the bid details HERE of $130)
Fairpricedshipping rate: $455.00
Actual broker rate: $280.00
Fairpricedshipping scam amount? $175.00
Not very “fair priced shipping” more like “I’m gonna screw you” shipping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another ship scam bid
Bid won: $299.00 (hid the scammer rate in the bid details HERE of $130)
Fairpricedshipping rate: $429.00
Actual broker rate: $140.00
Fairpricedshipping scam amount? $289.00
Not very “fair priced shipping” more like “I’m gonna screw you” shipping
And this poor person was dumb enough to post this “I finally ran into a service provider that wasn’t just a flim-flam artist. This guy is the real deal. ” This is the perfect victim. One that says thank you for screwing me!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another ship scam bid
Bid won: $508.00 (hid the scammer rate in the bid details HERE of $260)
Fairpricedshipping rate: $768.00
Actual broker rate: $360.00
Fairpricedshipping scam amount? $408.00
Not very “fair priced shipping” more like “I’m gonna screw you” shipping
As you can see, Tyler Sheff is going to screw you out of more money if you ship with him. I was taken advantage of and hopefully you will not be one of his victims. He has been reported to UTi Worldwide but they do nothing, I canceled my credit card charge and as I have seen online, Tyler likes to do his personal shopping on his victims credit cards. This did not happen to me but I would think twice on shipping with him on uship or anywhere else.
One last thing, for a home based business and lying about being one of the top logistic companies doing 200, 000 shipments per year (laugh, laugh, sniffle) with the below comment from a unsuspecitng victim, that would be physically possible to talk to anyone.
….I spoke with Tyler on the phone. He spent a lot of time with me going over different options. Great customer service. You can tell this fellow has been doing this a while, has his act together and is ready to execute. I ship items on a regular basis and will use his services again. Thanks for a job well done.
Let’s do the math. remember this is a person in a bedroom “and claims to be one of the top logistic companies handling 200, 000 shipments per year”
200, 000 shipments per year
16, 666 shipments per month
3, 846.15 shipments per week
769.23 shipments per day
96.15 per hour
1.6 per minute
Please explain how THAT is even remotely believeable? Someone? Bueller? Bueller? And still have time to slander his competition, explain the full details of shipping to a new client and even squeeze in time to bid and scam on uship?

Being charged too much by fairpricedshipping on uship? You are not alone…
16/01/2009 by fairpricedshipping
Bait and switch are huge for Tyler Sheff on uship (listed as “fairpricedshipping”).
Per uship rules: In the event, that you charge “extra fees” (and we are made aware of this fact), uShip reserve the right to suspend or cancel your account at our sole discretion. Your bid may only include content relevant to the description of your transportation services. If you bid on any shipment and your bid is accepted by the shipper, you are obligated to perform the services offered in your bid at the accepted bid price.
uship has been aware of this fact for quite a while. They just will not do anything. Tyler Sheff has released press releases in the past few days to get the negative light off his shady activities but this will not happen. We will make sure that the real activities of Tyler Sheff stays current.
Here are some quotes he won on uship. We will add in all the extra fees he hides from the unsuspecting shippers.
http://www.uship.com/shipment/Boxes-of-Stuff-and-some-Auto-Parts-16th-Deadline/369481956/
Tyler Sheff: $374
Real world: $104
StatesideAmcar: taken for $270.00
(Fairpricedshipping? really?)
http://www.uship.com/shipment/2007-KTM-450-SX-F/500301894/
Tyler Sheff: $455
Real world: $208
aggiejack: taken for $247
(Fairpricedshipping? you sure?)
Uship has been aware that the “real” charges have been hiding in Tyler
Sheff’s bid details, which are against uship.com’s user agreement.
This is allowed because he gets his competition kicked off uship. Couple that with the ability to break the rules while all other users on uship have to follow them creates a biased market where uship states in their user agreement:
You acknowledge and agree that the uShip website is a neutral venue.
You have to not only agree to their biased activities but you
have to agree that uship is a neutral venue. How shady is that? 2 of a kind Tyler Sheff and uship.

Tyler Sheff, owner of Fairpricedshipping: Threats and lies
16/01/2009 by fairpricedshipping
I would like to report Tyler Sheff, owner of Fairpricedshipping. He has physically threated people and called employers and customers lying about his competitors to get their business. Below is some info mined off the internet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When has competition and breaking the law gone too far? Based on a UTi Transport Agent Tyler Sheff, it should go as far as bodily threats and physical harm.
Tyler Sheff, who has been reported online for bait and switching, seems to feel directing his anger on these actions at other companies/people. To the point where in desperation he threatens to break legs and hunt people down. Not very professional if you ask me……..
Per Tyler Sheff’s remarks online:
“Run and hide ***”
“time to feel pain”
“knowwhereyoulive”
“coming to find you”
“legs to be broken”
“you are a ***”
“boy this is gonna hurt”
Is this the model employee that UTi Transport Solutions allows? By their corporate counsel Dennis Heil (General Counsel / VP Legal UTi Transport Solutions Inc. - a UTi Worldwide Company), yes and he has allowed it to continue.
I was told that since their company representative is an independent agent, they have no control over them. If that is the case, then it would seem that UTi has a bigger problem than rogue agents.
Where does the liability fall? Who can be liable? Does it seem UTi Worldwide allows their agents to break the laws, even when they are opening themselves to litigation by allowing and condoning illegal activity from their agents.
Logged IP addresses showing a trail of lies and threats of physical harm have been presented to Dennis Heil of UTi and his answer? Do nothing say it is not UTi’s issue. Even though all agents who access UTi via computer need a static IP address, he still denies this illegal activity happened.
There have been several reports about Tyler Sheff and his “shady” practices to getting legal brokers kicked off a website so he can run his dubious practices of bait and switch.
He has also been known to purchase domain names in forms of competitor’s business names as well as personal names and create slanderous blogs and pages about those people.
He has also emailed and called companies as a UTi Transport Solutions representative and lied about employees and their actions to try to get them fired from that business. UTi’s response, nothing that we have seen.
Who does this really hurt? Tyler Sheff, a UTi Worldwide agent seems to think only his competitors. UTi legal counsel Dennis Heil seems to think it is not a UTi Worldwide company issue.
