    Current Alerts For This Business

    Alert:

    BBB files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaints concerning misleading sales practices.

    Among the many complaints, consumers consistently noted the failure of the business to deliver automobiles as contracted; and the failure to refund fees for services that were not completed

    On October 11, 2018 BBB wrote to Auto Rail Forwarders advising the business of the receipt of multiple serious complaints submitted by consumers and requesting that the business implement at least three steps toward eliminating the business practices that lead to these complaints.

    After receiving no response, BBB sent a second letter on November 7th, 2018. Once again we have received no response from Auto Rail Forwarders.

    BBB strongly urges consumers to do careful and extensive research before hiring a company to ship a vehicle. 

    As a consumer, it is important to know how to choose a reputable and reliable auto transport company. Doing so will help you to avoid scams that prey on those shipping their vehicles long distances.

    Before you choose an auto transporter it's important to do you research and know what to look out for and beware of. The BBB offers the following tips:

    Avoid doing business with any company that wants your payment sent through a wire transfer service. Legitimate companies ask for cheques or credit cards not wire transfers.  

    Carefully examine the company's website. Look out for spelling mistakes, poor grammar and typographical errors. Real companies generally avoid having a large number of mistakes on their websites. Websites with multiple spelling mistakes or grammatical errors were probably hastily put up by a fraudulent company. 

    Do as much research as possible and obtain several quotes before choosing a company to entrust your automobile with.

    Bought my 69 Camaro on 1/18/23 from a great honest dealer out of Toronto. I had it inspected and appraised so I knew what I was getting, a high 2 class vehicle. I lined up a transporter to bring it to me in an enclosed trailer here in North Dakota. Unfortunately for me the driver fell very ill and after waiting almost 2 months for him to get better we decided to go with another delivery company someone had told us about. WW Transport Solutions Inc. also known as Auto Rail Forwarders, its owner ***** **********. On march 15th I was told by ***** ********** that I would have the car to my home in 7-10 days! This outfit out of Nova Scotia was one excuse after another and my car was only picked up on April 15th and it took them over a week to get it to Winnipeg. From then on it was one excuse after another why they couldn't get it to my home only 8 hours away, my car sat in an enclosed semi trailer in a semi yard for over 3 weeks! "Or at least I was hoping it was there". At one point he told me to quit texting him and that he was ready to just forget about the delivery and I would be FU*%ked! At this point I was extremely concerned about the car and was looking at getting law enforcement involved. I finally told ***** "who said he was on vacation in Europe" that I was coming up to get it myself and I did on may 12th and brought it home the same day through some major rains. The driver that had the semi yard in Winnipeg where the car sat was excellent and very helpfull and had been the only one to touch the car putting it in that other large trailer. After talking with him it sounded like he was getting the exact same bs stories from ole lying ***** as I was. I had wired him payment in full "several thousands of US dollars" to deliver my car in an enclosed trailer to my door, that never happened. This was the most stressful thing I had ever encountered in my life and I'm 54. I wish I had ******* his business, I would have NEVER went with his company, no way in hell!
