Items did arrive safely, two days late and $1000 over original quoted price
The Items did arrive safely, but they were two days later than scheduled and I paid $1000 more than Monarch originally quoted. Beware, their agreement is not a contract for service, it is an estimate for service and their paperwork allows them to increase the price.
Monarch Transport Group initial booking personnel were very helpful and responsive. I signed an agreement with Monarch for $2250 to haul two snowmobiles from Michigan to California. What Monarch doesn't tell you is their agreement is an estimate of charges. They were supposed to call back within 5 days with a carrier, but they called back finally after 8 days to say they couldn't find a carrier for less than $3250. When I said I had an agreement for $1000 less they said no carrier was available for that price. I agreed, the carrier DRY RUN LLC called immediately and kept in touch during the transport process, but the driver was two days late and the trailer they were using should not have been on the road (bald tires, damage, lights not working, and Dry Run informed me they would not be using that driver in the future) I will not be using Monarch Transport Group in the future if I have items that need to be shipped.
