I shipped a tubing bender with freight center, and the charged me an additional $155 bucks saying that the bender was over 100 pounds heavier than it was supposed to be. I forwarded an email from the manufacturer of the bender, that confirmed the weight was what I had claimed. then the customer who purchased the bender weighed it at his shop, and also verified that Freight Center was indeed incorrect on their claim, and still no refund on my dispute!
and as far as them making pick-ups, they never call as instructed. I've had to reschedule pickups 3-4 times for 1 item.
I highly recommend

I shipped a wing to Florida with this company. Everything went well. I subsequently shipped the same wing back. The second shipment weighed more and I paid for the excess. After I received the shipment the company claimed that it weighed an additional 50 lbs more than what the manufacturer claimed the shipping weight was. They charge my credit card an additional $250 plus they said they could not make a pick up the first time they were came and charged me an additional $50 for a missed pickup. They could have called, as instructed, but did not. I have been waiting in a dispute for the overcharges

I'm going to stop using this company and would not recommend it to anyone. I've done a few shipments and the price was great, but the amount of stress induced by late pickups and poor communication isn't worth it. I'd pay more for on-time pickups, prompt and accurate replies and no BS charges. I recently shipped a car door to an automotive shop. I always pickup and drop off at the terminal due to cost savings and convenience of doing it on my own schedule, so I know the door was not very heavy, I put it on a pallet and loaded it myself, by hand. The customer did not ask for

I used this service once before with no problems, figured I'd use them again. From start to finish pure shenanigans. No guaranteed pick up date/time. Damaged my bike. No phone calls to explain, admit to or confirm delays. Promises to call back. Its like they don't really want your business. So I will grant them that. I didn't bother calling about the bikes dented fender. Too fed up with the bs. Use someone else.

Try 0 stars. This company is a JOKE. Used their service to ship a very expensive ONE OF A KIND 4ft x 4ft painting to a customer. First of all, the driver never came. A few days later (after chasing the rep) they send a driver and never to be heard from again. A MONTH of followup and no one knows where the painting is. Excuses each time "completing dock searches, will call you by the end of the day". Never happened. They blame the trucking company but SCHEDULED the shipment thru the trucking company and now want nothing to do with our claim. Had us file the ppw and someone disappear

Do NOT use. FreightCenter is not a shipper. FC hires shipping companies. FC is a middle-man. Too many cooks in the kitchen. The way they are set up is a MESS. Your delivery will not be picked up on time. You will call FC and they will have to call the shipper. The shipper will never call you. You will be told that they can come WHENEVER THEY WANT. Your delivery will be damaged. We had to file THREE insurance claims for the three and ONLY three pieces of furniture we shipped through them. Never again. The employees are doing their best - they are powerless in the business model and I honestly feel

Do not ship with this broker. They will damage your freight like how they damage my engine and will not take any responsibility for their actions. Corporate greed at its best. When things go south, good luck in trying to get a hold of anyone at freight center. They are quick to collect money, but can give a rat's behind when things go south. Never again until the earth blows up will I ship with freight center. You've been warned to stay away unless you want headaches, then be my guest and more power to you.

Do not use this service. They quoted me 500 dollars to ship two chairs. Afterwards wanted 1500 dollars back.
then used my credit card to pay the balance while I was complaining about the costs. Moreover the chairs were deliveed damaged. The insurance did not even cover my electrician charges. This is an illegal rip off service.
Just horrible. and a rip off for sure.

We had a horrible experience with Freight Center. They "tried" to nickel and dime us on EVERY SINGLE thing. Having said that, we did take out insurance (an extra $55) because we were having "porcelain" tiles being shipped. Many stops were made during this shipment. The tiles arrived a day later than the estimated date and we had several boxes of tiles that broke during shipment. We filed a claim for the broken tiles and the claim was denied, despite all the pictures and proof we submitted. They stated our damage was not $500 or more. Needless to say, the insurance was

I wish i could give this zero stars. I wish I had read these reviews prior to shipping with Freight Center.
Completely incompetent . Shipment was not picked up on time. Still hasn't the BOL had to be changed 3 times by 3 different people. Extra charges for unnecessary line items. Absolutely zero confidence that my shipment will make it. Im not even confident theyll pick it up.

I was quoted $522 for a shipment. A week after the shipment was to have been picked up, I received no shipment notification so I contacted them.
They explained that carrier that accepted the shipment actually doesn't do business in the state where the shipment was originating.
Huh?
You have to send a detailed description of the item being shipped, and after a manual review of the shipment details, the carrier accepts the shipment. So, if this explanation is to be believed, the carrier read the details of the shipment, accepted the shipment and then simply blew off the shipment with no notice

I had a pick up scheduled yesterday from 8am to 5pm. But carrier did not come to pick-up even though I was at the pickup place for all day, and the carrier did not tried to call me, and After 6pm, I called FreightCenter that I am still waiting for the carrier. They said I can wait until tomorrow morning. But the carrier did not contact me even next day. The schedule is very important because I am moving out tomorrow. So, the FreightCenter totally screwed up my plan.
So I asked them to fully refund my payment. but they said they can refund only 85% because the schedule was not guaranteed, and

Make sure freightcenter is your absolutely last stop for all of your freight needs. The carriers understand that freightcenter policies are set up in a way that benefits the carriers over the customers. The carriers then charge overweight charges back to freightcenter who blindly charges their own customer. Even if you can prove your weights were accurate, they hold the money and allow the carrier's decision to be final. Then when contacting freightcenter customer service to dispute the claims, they are radio silent until they feel like getting back to you and only answer some of your questions

I shipped an engine...1 month later i received a billing adjustment invoice for 68.25 over weight and 35 processing. no common sense!! i disputed and verified the weight! they said ok! 2 days later they made an unauthorized withdrawal from my account!!!!! i've provided 7 pages of weight verification!!! they want a pic of it on a scale!!!! clearly u will never get a refund for a dispute. they will charge whatever card u gave them originally without authorization!! do not use!!! during a pandemic they took 103 out of my account. maybe they think 1 didn't need groceries last

The absolute worst shipping company I've ever dealt with in my life, I regret not reading the reviews about them because not only did their freight delivery destroy a fully restored $4000 Car Engine, but they refused to reimburse me or do anything to make it right whatsoever, going so far as to blame me for it and give me a complete runaround when trying to get them to address the situation.
I ate the shipping charge and had to eat the $4000 loss on top of that.
It would have been cheaper and safer for me to roll the engine down the street on a trolley than it was to go through this company

Dont use them. Period.
I'm a business owner and ship approx $200-250K per year in combined shipping (parcel, crates, ltl, etc) and have shipped with multiple shippers over the years and these guys are the worst. Stay away.
My scales are certified every 30 days and dead accurate. We always add a few extra pounds to each BOL just to cover bases but we constantly got these double weight overcharges and they take the money out of your account first, then you have to fight for months to get it back even if you have all the proof.
What broke our relationship was a shipment of 2 custom hand made

We contracted Freightcenter to pick up a shipment from our customer who is about 90 miles away. They had it picked up no problem but then it was taken to a freight terminal where it sat. We tried for 3 days to get an answer of when it would be delivered from their customer non-service department that kept giving us different dates.
Finally in frustration we rented a truck and drove 80 miles to the freight terminal to pick up our shipment. Did we get a refund or credit? Not even but 2 months later they charged us another $90 for freight they NEVER delivered.

At 5pm, I called the FreightCenter again, and the same guy picked up and suddenly told me they wouldn't be able to pick up because the driver is not available. He said he would have customer service department call me in a minute, but it has been 40 minutes since he hung up.

SHIPPER'S BEWARE!!!
I wish I would've read all the reviews before choosing this company. Worst nightmare of my life, called to have them ship a microwave from New York to Georgia. The Microwave still has not made it to Georgia and it's four months later. I've called and emailed and all I get is the run around. I even had to do my own leg work in finding out what happened to my lost microwave. No one is talking about giving me a dime, the shipping company nor the Freight Center.
Freight Center is stating they farmed it out to Fed Ex - Fed Ex is stating they never picked

Second update. My couch finally arrived unscathed and I haven't noticed any additional charges, so I've upped my review one star. Overall I'm giving this four stars bc I did receive my item and everyone was perfectly nice, however I would reconsider using this company in the future, even though everything turned out fine. The unknown variables were just too much for my anxiety.
