MessageThis is an e mail trace about a horrible shipping company who ruined a
car I sold on ebay.  The sunroof was missing when delivered and that takes
keys.  I have no idea what else happened to the car.  They have done this to
communicants on the web.  Beware.

No one cares at all at the company.  They also claim not to be responsible
although it took a set of keys to remove the sunroof on my 944S.

Never, never use this company.

Please send this message to all of your interest groups.

I resolved mine with an insurance claim because it was simply a 6 month pain
in the arse trying to get anything accomplished where they would feel any
pain.  They will likely get away with it ...again.

  Pat-

  My buyer picked the shipper and it is his risk but I feel obligated to help
him.  Any hints??

    That's a crying shame... well, first that they ripped you off but, second
because you have not been around long enough to know that my 85 928S was
delivered DESTROYED by A1 Auto Transport and I posted info about my ordeal on
rennlist about two years ago and cautioned folks about A1 Auto Transport.
First they delivered my car two weeks late with plenty of additional mileage
then when the car arrived the guy collected the balance I owed him and had me
sign off the safe and undamaged delivery before off loading the vehicle. After
I paid him he said it would be a while before he could move all the cars off
the truck and he would call be out from office when he was done unloading it.
Well, the witnesses on the street told the story next-
    "He off loaded your vehicle dude ... and laid some serious rubber down the
street ,,, see the tracks???!!!"

    "Then it got bad dude... he lost control of it and bounced it into the
drive way down there (this is where the front bumper and spoiler got torn off
the car) then he slammed it into that parking spot jumped out and ran to his
truck and took off!"

    The damage he did to my car that day was incredible- body, clutch, torque
tube, among other things.

    But my car was not the only car that day he trashed. The same trucker was
delivering a 930 to another part of Portland. Coincidently it was taken to the
same shop for repairs that mine was on the same day. It was delivered by the
trucker with "girlfriend in tow" in the passenger seat 4 hours late with
second gear ripped out of the car completely!

    To get to the end of this story my insurance paid off most of the damage
on a claim. Unfortunately they did not want to go after A1 Auto Transport
because they are insured by Lloyds of London (my insurance agent said there is
a good reason for that and it simply was not worth Farmers Ins. time and money
to go after them. To add insult to injury A1 Auto Transport does not carry
Loading and Unloading insurance, which means that while they are either
loading or unloading a car and they hit another car (or worse- somebody) then
you, the owner, and the insurer of your car are liable for any damage or
injury.
