“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.

Success fee which is hefty hidden until you try to book. This should be upfront. I would not recommend to anyone.

I want to express my sincere apologies for any confusion or frustration you experienced regarding our fee structure at CitizenShipper. Our goal is to provide a transparent and straightforward service to all our customers, and I am sorry if this was not your experience.

Our success fee is indeed a part of our platform's operating model. However, we understand your concern about its visibility during the booking process and agree that it should be made clear from the beginning. We continuously work on improving our services and transparency is one of our main priorities.

We did attempt to address this matter with you via the Sitejabber Resolution Center and we're sorry to learn that we didn't connect. We would be very grateful if you could contact our Support Team at Support@citizenshipper.com so we can fully understand the situation and work to address any issue you encountered.

Your feedback is extremely important to us as it helps us improve our service. We appreciate your patience during this process and look forward to resolving this to your satisfaction.

*******@gmail.com, phone number *******638 is selling puppies but this is a scam! This person scammed my brother $500. He will claim he has puppies, but he is sending out scam letters stating he JUST moved to Florida, and is guving the puppies away FOR FREE but the $500 is to ship with CitizenShipper. He had VARIOUS BREEDS of puppies on multiple sites.

IF YOU ENCOUNTER THIS PERSON ONLINE OR ANYONE CLAIMING TO SHIP PETS ACROSS UNITED STATESTHRU CITIZENSHIPPER, CALL CITIZENSHIPPER FIRST TO VERIFY THESE PEOPLE!

THIS PERSON SHOULD BE BLOCKED FROM SELLING ANYTHING!

Tip for consumers:
STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!

Hi Vee,
This person did not actually invent Citizenshipper, and is not associated with our site in any way.
Unfortunately, it sounds like you may have encountered an online scam. The way our site works, is that a shipper, you, would list your shipment on our site and gather quotes from drivers. You would then choose a driver, and then pay them directly for shipping your pet.
There are many scams online claiming to be shipping a pet via our site, however they are using our name fraudulently. All emails from Citizenshipper will end with "@citizenshipper.com." If you have a driver from our site, you may tell me the name and I can try and find a contract associated with them for you. Or if the person who is shipping to you has an account, I can look that info up as well.
Please do not send these people any money unless you have verified that they are 100% authentic.

If you wouldnt mind, please consider editing your review, we would greatly appreciate that, as this did not actually have anything to do with Citizenshipper, and your review does cast a very unflattering light on our site for new customers.

Best,
Jennifer
