  More info

  This company hired a subcontractor to haul their sheds. My neighbor has her shed removed from her yard and this company exited through MY yard and caused a significant amount of damage and is refusing to accept responsibility for the damages and refuses to make it right. How is it ok for them to use someone elses yard when removing a product. This is trespassing and is bad practice as a business. My photos will not upload.

  I was unaware of this situation until I received a letter from the BBB. Due to the involvement of multiple parties, there was a lapse in communication. Upon receiving the letter, I began investigating the matter and spoke with everyone involved. Ive learned that Ms. ********* neighbor rented a shed that we, Liberty Sheds, manufactured using a rent-to-own company, ***********. When the neighbor decided to return the shed, AFG Rentals coordinated with Harkeys Hauling, the company responsible for hauling our buildings, to retrieve the shed from her property.  

   

  It is my understanding that the neighbor gave permission for the delivery professional to access that part of the property. The two companies I mentioned before, *********** and ************** Hauling, did communicate about this situation, but our customer service team at ******************** was not alerted. Although our delivery team works hard to prevent damage during delivery and retrieval, which involves moving portable buildings across properties, occasional circumstances could cause damage, depending on factors such as soil conditions, weather, and grass maturity. On rare occasions, we address these issues directly with our customers or, in this case, with the neighbor.

   

  I'm unclear on what the next steps would be. Am I allowed to reach out to the customer directly or should I allow you to put us in contact? If I had been made aware of the issue earlier, we would have worked with the neighbor to resolve it by either sending one of our employees to smooth the dirt and reseed the area or by arranging for a landscaping company to handle the repair.

   

  Thanks again for your help! I look forward to hearing from you soon. 

   

  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours.

   

  Take care,

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and I accept it.

   

  they have permission to call me at ************** as to nobody has my permission as the owner of the property to trespass on my property and cause damage. I know there were several subcontractors involved. However as a business owner myself it falls back on the original business owner and they make it right and then can settle up with the subcontractors. I have to pay to have my yard repaired at $600. I would like to be reimbursed
