Default Has anyone ever used or heard of Reindeer Auto transport??

I'm finally setting up our relocation logistics from NM to MD and I'm offered an auto shipment with Reindeer Auto Logistics.

I've never heard of the company so I'm looking for personal experiences since I don't trust anyone that I don't know when it comes to Rocket.

I'd prefer to drive out, but it's just not possible having 2 other vehicles, plus the time of the year.

Thanks!

Darien,

There are truly a ton of auto enclosed transport companies out there so I am sure you will come across many you have not heard of before. I use Intercity lines and FEDEX critical (formely passport transport). I have also used precious metals...all companies did a wonderful job.

The company is contracted by Atlas Van Lines...I found their website, but couldn't find any reviews.

Thanks...I'm back at the bargaining stage requesting Intercity since they quoted close to the same price and I've read several positive reviews about them.

Intercity is excellent.

Others to consider...
Pilot Transport
Horseless Carriage

Good luck with the move!

http://www.transportreviews.com/ Great site for reviews and info on auto transport. Reindeer is listed. I use FedEx custom critical-always a good experience.

I had my Audi A3 shipped using Reindeer Auto Relocation as part of a corporate relocation from WA to CA. When some exterior body damage occurred while my vehicle was in transit under the care of one of their subcontractors, the people I spoke with at Reindeer were friendly but refused to cover the repair cost. The car was delivered in filthy condition with dents and major areas of paint scratched off under a coat of dirt. I was on my honeymoon and a family member signed for delivery (following Reindeer's instructions when the car is covered in dirt and it isn't possible to check for damage) but because it took more than 24 hours for us to fly home, inspect, and file a claim, Reindeer refused to repair the damage. It looks like the damage is from some sort of metal moving/trucking equipment (see Yelp photos), it's in an area where damage was not noted on the pickup inspection form, and after I called Reindeer still-jetlagged the day I returned from my honeymoon they say that legally they only need to accept claims within 24 hours (a term that was buried in legal paperwork but not shared with me when I called before shipping and asked about a family member accepting delivery!). After this experience I searched the web for Reindeer Auto Relocation and found negative reviews and other similar stories about how damage was handled – had I known then what I know now I would not have entrusted them with my vehicle.

Yeah but it wasn't a 928 or even a Porsche so we don't care. Bet we don't see any more posts from you here.
