  I contracted with Sherpa Auto Transport (Shipment #*****-92852) to ship my car from ******* to *********** in May of 2024. They subcontracted the move to ********** in **********. My car arrived in ********** on the 31st of May 2024 and I was notified by the carrier ***** Trans) that they had broken the sunroof and that they would take care of it. **** Trans dropped the car off at the dealership without notifying me or confirming where the car was located. I only found out the location by calling around to find the car. The dealership provided a quote to ********** and neither myself nor the dealer received a response from Trans **** after they received the repair quote. At this point I elevated the complaint to Sherpa Auto Transport, who acknowledged the fault was with their sub-contractor based on BOL with no damage upon receipt and provided insurance information. As insurance is an FMCA requirement, I worked through the insurance company provided by Sherpa for Trans **** only to be told multiple times that they were not insured. At this point, I have been seeking resolution for a month and a half and have paid almost $3K in rental car fees and when picking up my car from the dealership will have to pay close to $7K for repairs caused by negligent handling by Sherpa and their sub-contractor, for which both have acknowledged their responsibility. It seems Sherpa is no longer working toward any sort of resolution in this situation as I have had no update from them in days.

  Thank you for your feedback, *******. We take your feedback extremely seriously. We apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced regarding your vehicle shipment, but we are glad that our ************* Manager has been able to connect with you to assist with the matter. Unfortunately, the carriers insurance improperly filed the claim the first time around, which is why you received a notification stating the carrier was uninsured. Once Sherpa Auto Transport noticed that the insurance was filed to the wrong cargo insurance, we ensured that the carrier refiled the claim correctly. We carefully vet all of our carriers prior to the cars being shipped. With this particular carrier we verified that the cargo insurance was properly active before the car was shipped and during the duration of the shipment.. Currently, we are still in the process of waiting for the insurance claim to be resolved. We have been, and will continue to, keep you updated throughout this process. As soon as we receive more information about the status of your claim, we will let you know

  I confirmed Sherpa booking for a car shipment from ********* to ********************* and as the window was expiring got a call from Sherpa that driver made it there and vehicle was inoperable so the cost would double. I called the driver and he said he never made it to the lot and straightaway refused to pick the car. When called Sherpa again they said that the car was categorized as run and drive and that now they have confirmed that it was operable. Booked on April 27 and the car is still sitting there. I am paying for the daily storage fee. I trusted the A+ BBB rating but my experience was not fulfilling.

  Thank you for your feedback. We're glad that one of our Managers could reach out to address your concerns. Unfortunately, the carrier we assigned for this shipment, which was going to pick up the vehicle at the co-part, called us and informed us that the vehicle was inoperable, refusing to pick up the car and canceling. When a vehicle is inoperable, we have to price it accordingly because it requires special equipment. As soon as the carrier informed us that the vehicle was inoperable, we prepared a price for you because we knew that the vehicle needed to be picked up right away. After some research, we realized that the carrier was not truthful and that the car was actually running. Upon discovering this, we promptly reverted to the original price that was agreed upon and made a record of how the carrier handled the matter. Unfortunately, time was not on our side, and the order was canceled despite doing everything in our power to secure another carrier at the earliest opportunity. Due to this, we decided to waive all cancellation fees. We are sorry for the inconvenience the carrier caused.
