“Best Experience of our lives”

Rebecca C.
3/19/24

I need to update my review on Chloe. She brought my 8 wk old Maltese puppy, Bentley, from Houston to Myrtle Beach, SC. Not only did Chloe take extra precautions regarding his health because he was so young. She also worked on me in the price. I was previously scammed by an unscrupulous (supposedly) breeder who not only took all of my money and didn't deliver the puppy and they also stole my identity. She worked with me on my budget. Not only was she in Houston for another transport, she made sure she picked him up the same day that I booked her. She treated him like he was also her own furkid. She drove straight through dealing with some pretty bad weather. She stayed in touch with me during the whole transport, arrived when promised. Chloe put me and my friend that bought him for me at ease. My friend said, she's an Angel. I didn't worry one bit and neither did my friend. After being scammed out of close to $2000. I would normally be leery of anyone who promised me the Moon but stole from me. I did not have one single doubt about her. There are not enough good things I can say about Chloe!

“BUYER BEWARE”

I was ripped off for $450.00 by a highly rated driver that they recommended to me. They stated that the driver had 50 trips and 5 stars. The driver ghosted me, did not show up on the date promised and kept my 450.00 deposit. When contacted, Citizenshipper took no responsibility and said I was on my own. Be very careful who you select because this company WILL NOT stand behind their drivers. It also became known after this happened that this driver was doing this to other people and Citizenshipper DID NOT notify or warn me.

I was looking to transport a pet across the country but had no idea where to start. CitizenShipper made it easy to find what I was looking for for a good price with reviews.

I loved using citizen shipper. My puppy came home the same day he was picked. The driver called me and let me know his ETA and how the puppy was doing.

I wish I had found CITIZENSHIPPER sooner!
After struggling to find a way to ship my dog from Ohio to Florida and after looking online for serval days I started to feel
Defeated! Using a flight was out of the equation because the cost was insane and no airline would ship a Pitbull.
I came across Citizenshipper and I am so happy I did. I found Nathan, the driver that brought me my Lina he was amazing and so was the cost AFFORDABLE!
Highly recommend them to everyone.

I posted a job and got 3 responses. 2 of the drivers never responded after first contact and the third sounded great. I saw a bad review and the next day it was gone. I contacted customer service and she said the driver had more good ratings than bad. The driver wanted full payment via a wire transfer to which I said no. I asked about Zelle or Paypal. He said that there was a 7 day waiting period and if I wanted to secure my spot I needed to pay. I got him to take 50% of the cost and the balance when my puppy was delivered to me. The driver never showed nor did he contact me that he wasn't going to show or if he was just late. There is no customer service. I don't think they actually do any background checks and I know for a fact that they do not run credit reports on the drivers. I am filing a scam report with police and any other law enforcement agency I can find. Emotionally draining as I purchased a 9 week old puppy that needed to be driven as he was too big to fit under the seat of a plane. It ended up costing me more money as I did have to force this puppy into a very small kennel which I had to buy on top of the one that I bought for the supposed driver, the cost of the ticket for the puppy and the cost for my carry-on. This site is worthless as they do not protect the people who are paying them. If it was legitimate, they would hold the funds and pay the driver once the job is complete.
