“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.

The service of this website was great in getting me connected with someone who could drive my puppy to us so we didn't have to. Great service!

My experience was with specific drivers but the company did not step in to help.
It happened a while back, I kept trying to get the drivers/company to make it right B4 writing this review. Hired to transport a Mack (dog) from Ohio to Wisconsin. Ashley and her sister Marrian contracted the transport. Said they have been doing this for 8+ years. Venmo the $50 deposit to Ashley and Mack was on his way. Asked if they provide communication or GPS locations along the way, she said FaceTime and videos. Ashley lives in Oak Harbor Ohio, very close to the pick up point. 1 hour into the trip I get this message: "Hello, we have a bit of an emergency, and I have a question. Our drive shaft on our van broke as we were driving down the road and I don't have all of the money to fix the part. We are 4 hours away". "So I'm requesting you the send the rest of the money". I said I wasn't comfortable doing that and asked about this being a company vehicle or if her sister Marriann could help. Ashley said if she didn't get the money the transport will stop. I had already paid for Mack so I sent another $50 so they could get it fixed. I asked for location but that's when they went silent! Tried several times the rest of the day, not knowing about Mack or the transport. Next morning at 6am continued trying to get a response from Ashley or Marriann but nothing. At 7am I was asking for a refund because she apparently stopped the transport (without acknowledgement) and still had Mack. Panic set in. I contacted the previous owner of Mack and they dropped him back at her house. I jumped in the car and drove the 6 hours to Ohio to get Mack. Neither Ashley or Marriann ever responded to my constant communication about this situation. Citizen Shipper refused to get involved because they said I contracted with the shipper not them. Apparently they don't screen there drivers! I know this was a long review but wanted to get the message out about Ashley, Marriann, and the company itself Citizen Shipper.

Tip for consumers:
Review covers it all. Stay away from Citizen Shipper!
