      I was asked to give exact measurements of the boxes and pallet and exact weight; I gave everything I was asked to give and received a quote for X dollars and of course after it was delivered it was 200 bucks more, completely unacceptable. I was told by my friend that uses this company for personal and business that it happens all the time to several people he has spoken to. Aside from it being lost for a month and I was told 3 times it was at the dock and the recipient was called (HE WAS NEVER CALLED) it mysteriously showed up. After several emails and calls, no one wants to admit their mistake. ****** learned. Funny how they record all calls but for some reason can't find any of my 3 calls, and I gave them exact dates, times and durations from my phone log.

      They are the worst! They tried to charge me up to $2,500 for a $472 quoted shipment. I fought with them for 9 months. They then sent me to collections. I paid the collection agency $570. They started sending me new bills for the money I have already paid. The first bill was $1065.55 and the second is for $495.55. Like ***?! I will wait for them to send me to collections for the bill I have already paid and then turn them in for fraud.

      I had an outstanding experience with SAIA ************* As a first-time user of LTL shipping, I was a bit nervous, but their customer service went above and beyond. From start to finish, the team was incredibly patient, explaining every charge in detail and making sure I felt confident in the process. What truly impressed me was the personalized attention, including the offer to call in anytime for quotes or clarification. Even the top executives were involved and genuinely attentive to my needs. Exceptional service all around, and I will absolutely be using them again in the future. Highly recommend!Thanks SAIA!!!*******

      Failed to deliver when scheduled with a large delivery window. Claimed they called and that I live in a gated community. You can't get through their delivery number they list, customer support can't seem to help, and now I have to reschedule when I have little faith they are capable of fulfilling order. If possible do not use this carrier.

      Driver delivered a hot tub cover with a huge hole in it from a forklift tine. The driver dropped it by the curb and forged my wifes name on the signature for delivery. This company is definitely not stand up. That is a felony to forge someones signature so Id love to go down that road.

      SAIA is by far the worst company to deal with for freight. This company had a driver show up at our shop, pick up equipment, the equipment was fraudulently charged and picked up. Our company found out what was going on and got the equipment stopped and requested to be returned due to everything about that shipment was fraudulent and the person that used fraud ordered the delivery. SAIA turned around and charged us over $1500 for a fraudulent shipment, order, and return!!! Will never use this company again and we ship things daily!

      I've been in the sporting goods business for 24 years in northeast **. My latest freight delivery was a load of ammo from one of my distributors in **********, ** which the SAIA driver refused to drop because my shop is at my residence, even though I have a current federal and county license to do business. The delivery is now on it's way back to LA and will have to be shipped again by another carrier. This is the first time in 24 years I was refused a shipment. **** ** *** ** *** ********* *** *** ***** ******** ***** ******** **** ***** *** ***** ** ***** The only way to stop this is to hit them in the wallet, and I'm contacting every business I know to tell them what happened and encourage them to stop using freight companies like Saia.

      Terrible. 100% Unreliable, and 1000% Unprofessional. 3 days in a row I have LTL blocking my docks. 3 Days in a row the scheduled SAIA pick-up never shows up. I will never use SAIA again. My National clients will all be told that we do NOT accept SAIA at our docks, and and SAIA trucks they book will be turned away. ALL SAIA BUSINESS IS HENCEFORTH REFUSED. You want to mess with MY business and waste MY time and money? RIGHT BACK AT YOU. You lose us, and everyone we do business with, and with over 100 years under a belt, that's not a SMALL list.

      SAIA Shippers Beware! We own a manufacturing company and use several ltl shipping companies. Saia stands alone on the bait and switch . We measure our pallets on video before shipping out. We ask our customers to measure the pallets while videoing on the pickup end. So we know the exact dimension before and after the shipment. Saia offers a low shipping quote and then changes the dimensions of the pallets then bills a $350 fee for the new dimension that they lie about. Rinse and Repeat. The *********** Hub is where the crime is being committed. Advice that I can offer . Keep several ltl accounts with different carriers. Keep video logs before and after the shipment. Eventually these types of companies end up in a class action law suit. You will have video proof of the fraud when it happens. ***** is honest . Old dominion is honest . Xpo is honest . Saia is by Far the **** of *** offs , Hands down.
