Warning to others

ABF Freight System - Warning to others - Image 3

I had three pallets of freight, all well organized, shrink wrapped and banded.

All three pallets had been dropped, and one, containing metal file cabinets, had obviously had extremely heavy objects dropped on top of it, causing dents so deep in the top that it is now impossible to open. The contents will now have to be removed by using a grinder to cut the tops of the file cabinets off.

One item was also missing from that pallet.

There was a report of transit damage to an intermediate freight center, but I was not informed until I called and asked. I never saw the report.

The response from ABF, after my sending damning photo documentation, was a query about the estimated weight of the damaged objects.

I received a check for $20.00.

It told me that my parcel had been delivered and I've checked and it's not there, I couldn't get in contact with the company.

ABF doesn’t provide tracking details like the pic you posted. That came from your shipper.

It’s likely the shipper used a broker to arrange for the actual shipment. Brokers are individuals who will seek out the cheapest freight charges and then lie about the transit times.

Delivery Issue

Was told on August 8th my item would be delivered on August 15th. On August 14th received a call saying my item is in Denver and would arrive on August 16th. Its supposed to be delivered to Colorado Springs. On August 16th received a call saying my item would be delivered on August 17th. On August 17th received a call saying my item would be delivered sometime next week. Not sure why Amazon, even uses this company.

Delivery was on time, customer service was friendly and satisfactory. Items delivered as scheduled. Driver was friendly and courteous and accommodated my need to place the 300lb box in my garage.

If possible, I would give this company negative stars. Customer service is rude and unresponsive. Service is even worse.

This company has zero concern for customer satisfaction

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
While shipping a product, this company held the product at their terminal for over 10 days before getting around to schedule a delivery. They work at their convenience and dont care about the customer's needs or expectations.A

ABF doesn’t do that. If it was held it was probably due to whomever created the BOL which resulted in billing issues or the service center not being able to reach you.

TERRIBLE company. Current claimed losses exceed 200k.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They destroyed my custom piece worth over 10k. Suing them locally, then Class Action.

Hold this company accountable, Consumers. You have rights under US Law.

-----

DISPOSITION OF DAMAGED SHIPMENTS - 3867

(Revised: 02/1993)

Carriers are almost always responsible for transit loss or damage. However, consignees have a legal responsibility for keeping damage costs at a minimum and must accept damaged freight that can be reasonably repaired. If the goods are damaged so much that they become almost worthless, you may refuse the delivery.

In that case be sure to file a claim for the full value of the shipment.

Some items can only be repaired by the factory where they were made. If repair costs are more than $100 and more than one company can make the repairs, try to get competitive bids.

Carriers who pay the full invoice price for claims on goods that are damaged beyond reasonable repair are, in effect, purchasing the damaged goods. The carrier will usually want the damaged goods as salvage.

Therefore, you must hold the damaged goods and make them available for the carrier to pick up.

https://www.dgs.ca.gov/Resources/SAM/TOC/3800/3867

Tip for consumers:

DO NOT use ABF Freight. Losses exceed 200k, now.

Bad delivery service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
ABF Freight System - Bad delivery service

I ordered a massage chair from HomeDepot and was forced to use this delivery service. At the 1st appointment, I waited them at for 2 hours but no one delivery my order.

I called the Customer Service , that I had confirmed 2 times with for the delivery schedule, and they told me that sorry because the truck was broken down and give reschedule to the next day. On the 2nd appointment, I waited for 2 hours, but the same thing happened. No one delivery my order. I did call the Customer service, and they talked that the driver did call me but he couldnt contact me.

In fact, there was no missing call in my cellphone on that day. Even though I requested that they should provide me the driver's phone number so that I could contact him for more convenient, but they refused. Then I had to take another day off to wait for the delivery.

This is the worst delivery service Ive ever seen. Not suggest to use it.

Shipment is 12 days late!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
After paying $100.00 for expedited delivery, which pushing the delivery date back THREE times, and me taking two days off work,I still do not have my delivery. I called today and was LITERALLY told "Yeah, you're not getting it today, who do you think we are, Amazon!?" I was then told that it is MY (the consumer's) responsibility to call and ARRANGE for delivery!? On what planet does this happen? When I said that I've never heard of this process before, I was scoffed at and told "well that's how all delivery companies work, it's not our problem". All this is to say that I STILL do not have what I paid for, and we are going on day 13.
