“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.

Here's my experience with CitizenShipper. Jason "no show" Humphreys at Humpty's Homeward Haulin' was a "certified vetted driver" referred by Citizen Shipper. Jason failed to transport a 3 month old puppy as agreed upon. The only haulin' done was haulin' in my 50% deposit, which I'm currently trying to hash out a refund with Venmo since Jason replied "f##k you" to my refund request. I'd recommend avoiding this company like the plague if you have any expectations of a need to be filled and certainly paying no money up front, at least not until you KNOW the animal has been picked up. These are independent contractors and while I'm sure many of them are conscientious and reliable, there's no guarantee you'll get one of them. Also, when I contacted Citizen Shipper about the no show they pretty much told me it was all between me and the independent contractor, basically washing their hands of any responsibility or trying to line up a replacement driver for my no show. I was instructed to go back to their site and start over, which I was not about to do and begin a brand new nightmare. Oh, and when you're getting price quotes you should know that Citizen Shipper will tack on an additional $73.99 to your quoted price for a "service fee" AFTER you book instead of charging the driver a referral fee, which I assume they probably also do. As a result of this nightmare experience we were unable to transport a puppy & we had to abort the entire plan due to making the poor choice of using Citizen Shipper leading us to Jason "no show" Humphrey's at Humptys Homeward Haulin

Using Citizenshipper was seamless and easy to use. I located a driver that could ship my goods almost the same day.

Would definitely recommend.

It was easy to use and plenty of bids. Great communication by all that bided. Very pleased with the transport.
