What a horrible experience. My husband decided to rent a sWe contacted ConexWest. This process went smoothly at first. Then rapidly became a horrific experience. The booking process was smooth. Saturday morning two men came to the door ready to deliver the conex container. This is where the problem began.The main driver spoke minimal English. Only understand the words "yes", "no", "over here". His primary language was Russian. The co-driver could communicate a bit more but there was still a language barrier. I was able to communicate to the co-driver that I wanted the shipping container to the right side of the house. He communicated the command to the main driver.
The main driver began trying to back the container into the driveway ( to the right of my house).During the process... The main driver hit my white fence, and hit and broke off brick that align the driveway on the right side of the house. All of which I have on video. At this point I could not have any more damage done to my property. I stopped them. I directed the crew to the open field. Asked if they could deliver it there instead. The co-driver said it wasn't wide enough to turn into. I said okay. The co-driver asked if they could park it outside of the fence and my house... Blocking the public road. I explained the road was public and could not be blocked. The co-driver then said "so here is okay lady?" Pointing to the road. I again explained the reason as to why it could not be dropped off in the middle of a public road. I became increasingly aggravated at this point and asked if they could put the container in the main driveway to minimize the damage to the house. The main driver, James, began backing up the container into the main driveway. He damaged a retaining wall, damaged my nature pine tree, and almost hit the house four times. The shipping container was delivered, which was crooked in the driveway. The co-driver said there was nothing he could do about the damage. Asked if I wanted the company to replace it. I said yes I do and will be contacting a manager on Tuesday. He said "oh Lady you're going to get me trouble. Don't do that. I fix I fix". I asked if they could straighten up the container. He said "sorry I don't understand you" "not good at English" without any further communication they both left.
I contacted the company on Tuesday morning. I was transferred to dispatch. I explained the entire situation. The dispatch, Yulia, asked if I could send her a text with the damage property and where I'd like the container to be placed. I did as she asked... No further communication was communicated. I text her asking for an update, nothing. I contacted the company asked to speak wth her multiple times.. Nothing. She was either out of the office or unable to take my call. I then being fed up asked to speak to a manager. While on hold for 5 minutes, a manager came onto the line. I again explained the story. RECAP: The drivers damaging property and had the container in the wrong spot. I wanted it to be corrected. The manager said they could send someone out for a fee of $150 to straighten up the container. I said no. Absolutely not. He then became very irate with me. He began to say that I was a liar about the property being damaged. I informed him that I have video of the property being damaged. He asked to see the video. I indicated that I would be more than happy to come to his office and show him if he gave me a time and date. He said that he would not want someone like me whatever that meant at the office. To just text him the video I responded that the video was too long and I was unable to send him the video however I did more than happy to come into the office and show him. I was becoming upset because I was being called a liar and was constantly being spoke over. Ifinally said "listen. I am a customer. As a manager you should realize that your company depends on people like me. Regardless of what damages occurred, I would never in a million years talk to a customer like this. I would especially would never say that a customer was a liar when there is proof. I truly do not appreciate the way you are talking to me. If you continue to talk to me in such an ill manner I will request to speak to your manager. Am I clear?"
He then began to raise his voice at me. So I asked him who his manager was. He started to laugh saying that he isn't going to give me that Information. He said that his manager wouldn't speak to someone like me. They don't have time for me. I indicated that I didn't care I wanted his or her name. He refused. So this was another 10 minute conversation. Trying to get him to give me his managers name. He finally said his manager was named Alex but not to bother him with "such petty things" and to email him. At this point I said come get your container. Saturday night at 9PM they showed up and collected. Still no response about fixing the damaging property. SAVE YOUR MONEY. read more
