Here is the update from our situation with Moonstone. First, I will start by saying thanks for everyones support in this as a few have had similar experiences and issues. Thanks to Eagle (Kiki @ Moonstone) for updating this forum as to where our shipment was. If it weren't for that, I would not have known what was going on, since there was more information given on this thread as to the whereabouts and circumstances surrounding my shipment in your posts on here, than I received from your company in 3 days. As for speaking to me 33 times Thurs and 19 times Fri...I wish...maybe then I could have gotten some answers.
On Fri at 10:30am, Moonstone agreed that of the freight wasn't cleared in an hour, we would get my freight off the truck and we could carry on as they were not confident their freight would be cleared for the weekend.
Fri at 11:30, Moonstone refused to get the freight offloaded and said they had no drivers in the area and the trailer had a customs seal on it so we could not get the trailer ourselves and get it offloaded.
Friday 11:45am, I called Moonstone's insurance and advised of a missing load. The insurance advised me to wait for Kiki's call and he was going to clear things up. Kiki did call, advised me to submit the claim, told me not to call again looking for freight as they were not delivering it, then hung up on me. I then receive another call back from a dispatcher at Moonstone, advising they have a driver at the truckstop outside Detroit and would take the trailer to a warehouse if I arrange it and give them an address.
Fri at 2:10pm, Moonstone was given an address to take the trailer to , on the U.S. side to offload my freight. Moonstone agreed to take the freight off and as of 3:50pm, they never showed up. They then had to call and locate a driver and we went through the same stuff all over again.
Fri at 4:30pm, Moonstone advises that their freight might be clear and they figured why bother taking to my warehouse (after I arranged everything and held ppl back to offload) when they could "just wait and see" if theirs did actually clear.
Fri approx 5:30 Moonstone advises truck cleared and is coming home.
Eagle (kiki) also stated in this thread that the situation was resolved and the freight delivered ontime...if ontime means 5 days late--then yes, I guess that would be ontime...
If posting on a forum like this helps get my situation resolved, then I am glad I use it and would do it again.
