Please beware of Superfast Cargo International
17 Snowshoe Lane
Brampton, ON
905-794-1663

This carrier/broker?? is working out of a house in Brampton.
We accidently paid them on an invoice, as they have a very similar name to another carrier, just the ending is different.

After many attempts to contact them and advise them that they had cashed our cheque, they have basically told us to go take a hike.
Our runner went out there to speak with them directly, and a young girl answered the door and said that the owners were out. I do believe their names are Mike and Roger.

Very bad conduct. Just return the darned cheque!!
They are posting trucks all over LINK
Just want to let everyone know they are underhanded, and see if anyone has had any dealings with this company?

:mad:
 
SirensLair, a quick search of Superfast Cargo along with "good old Lionel" on this site, will answer all of your concerns regarding the service and business ethics of these individuals. Set aside a bit of time however, there is lots of info.
 
If the cheque was made payable to another company name (the one you meant to pay) and Superfast Cargo cashed it - that is fraud.

Contact your bank if you have not done so already and advise them of the error. The bank is negligent in this scenario also - put them on the hook. They incorrectly processed a cheque and transferred funds into the wrong account.

This happens quite alot - banks overlook cheque details, who it is made payable to and dates.
 
This reminds me of something a few years ago when there was another company in Brampton who tried to use the Travelers name but called themselves something like Travelers Transport and Logistics. When I told the real Travelers about it, they were gone. I hate when these dudes take someone else's name, add something else to it and then claim it's ok. Like if I wanted to call myself Holmes Freight Transport but I had nothing to do with Holmes Freight Lines.
 
Similar scenario

I received a $3000.00 from one of our cleints that pays in 14 days. The check was made out to a carrier who's name was almost identical to ours. This was a few years back when that was still good money.

The main difference in our names was they were transport and we were logistics.

I called our client and pointed out the error and mailed back the check. They were grateful.

Not more than 2 months later I was looking for payment from a client that is never tardy. They discovered they had made out the check to this other company who had deposited it.

One could always say it was a mistake. What non existent invoice could their accounting dept. have matched the check to?

Integrity folks!!!!

Should be a big part of your business if you are in it for the long run.

Apparently the Other Superfast has had this happen to him many times and I am trying to get a hold of him to advise him to also report this company to Link.
I truly appreciate all the responses, we are going to report them to our bank, and see what happens
;)
