After carefully re-reading the contract from A AAADVANTAGE, and hearing
horror stories from another list member, I withdraw my recommendation of
their services.
Their representatives LIED to me over the phone regarding their insurance
being primary coverage; they do NOT tell you that it can take up to seven
business days just to line up a transporter, who then needs a three-day
window; they LIED about using only company owned trucks and staff drivers
(as far as I can tell) and they have a $100 "cancellation" fee if you get
tired of waiting for them to deliver. Looks like made a potentially bad
choice. Great.
