Do NOT get involved with these people. Snip and his partner in deceit in london, will take your money and let you wait for weeks to find someone that is willing to transport your car for less money as you have paid. I have paid 1250 euro for a transport UK-Bordeaux and I am waiting for weeks now and still haven't got my car. Their salestalk is good and they seem to be very helpful, untill you have paid. This little Green man is telling that his bad image is made up by the competition, well I am not into cartransport, but I can tell you that these guys are conmen. They will not call you back, not deliver in time and are not insured.

Lennard is spending a lot of time on many forums. We have seen this message before. He must be hissed off big style.

Re: carstospain allert!
 

I think it's good to be alerted to a possible con. There are too many people out there ready to take advantage of people who can't do the job themselves. How do we know who to trust if we aren't allowed to name and shame?

Re: carstospain allert!
 

Lin I couldn't agree more, but from BE's standpoint it opens up a huge can of worms so far as the legal issues of naming and shaming.


It wouldn't be the first expat site to be threatened with legal action over something said on it.

Anchor logistics are fine & I have used them a few times, no connection at all with them. Avoid any middlemen & go straight to the actual transporter - usual thing I suppose.

Re: carstospain allert!
 

I have been reading threads like this for years. I worked with Anchor for a long time in one way and another. There is, as said, no connection with the subjects now. Anchor are a well known and well respected logistics company

Goodevening. You're wrong, today was the first day I wrote something about this transport people. I did so on 3 websites. Why...? because today I missed my vintage rally in the Bordeaux area, because my lagonda was not delivered in time, (needing 4 weeks and howmuch more to get the thing from my garage in Lancaster to the Bordeaux area???) so yes I really was angry. I hate dishonest people and because of them I just flushed 1100 euro for the Rally down the drain. Thank you all for your reply and have a great evening

Re: carstospain allert!
 

hello, if you live in Lancaster (cool place I was born there) why did you not go to Anchor direct? they are in Preston & answer emails in a nanosecond, or it seems like that.

The middleman you mention is here in Spain I think, seems silly to pay a premia to a middleman when you are so close. I think I paid about 650 GBP, 0r 800e or so to Anchor each time I have used them.

Sorry to go on but 1 hr reading this forum & you soon wise up to expats fronting other labour, some good but some poor. There used to be loads of it going on but the recession has sent most to some new venture needing 25 years experience.

Re: carstospain allert!
 

Or get it transported down to a Port like Dover by the RAC or someone and just drive it onto a ferry to Bordeux? Seems iffy..

Tho I do not doubt that the company are sightly iffy to since there have been a fair few complaints about them.

You should never be afraid of speaking the truth or naming names and shaming SO LONG AS YOUR TELLING THE TRUTH,if you lie or exagerate YOU are in BIG (expensive) trouble,

Re: carstospain allert!
 

I'm not disputing that, but the only way to prove something like that is in a court of law, and I'm pretty sure that BE don't want that...


and don't say it couldn't happen, because it has on another Expat site....

Re: carstospain allert!
 

Speaking the truth never worries me and anyone can try their best in court, who would risk thousands (from ten and up hundreds) to take someone to court for speaking the truth? not even a big corporation is that stupid,your counter claim would cost them an arm and both legs,even genuine slander rarley gets to court because of the astronomical costs,and it ends up being pointless if they win and the other party has no money.

Hey ,you ever heard of a politician being sued? they cant even lie straight in bed!!!
