Anyone heard of A-Blue Knight Transport Co, Syosset, NY ?
Are these guys for real? or did I just lose $680.00?
I wanted to transport a car, (not a P-car) from NM to Michigan for my daughter. I might need some local help from someone to go over there and get my money back. Please let me know. Thanks,

I graduated Syosset HS and lived in the area till just recently.
These guys are a scam. Did you pay by check? Hope not. All of their addresses are not physical offices rather PO/Mailstore boxes. No telling where these people are really located. Somewhere in the area for sure based on the proximity of the addresses. My guess is Oyster Bay. From BBB, When considering complaint information, please take into account the business's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints. BBB processed a total of 276 complaint(s) about this business in the last 36 months, our standard reporting period. Of the total 276 complaint(s) closed in the last 36 months, 100 were closed in the last 12 months. These complaints concerned: 2 regarding Advertising Issues 29 regarding Billing or Collection Issues 25 regarding Contract Disputes 9 regarding Customer Services Issues 61 regarding Delivery Issues 121 regarding Refund Or Exchange Issues 3 regarding Selling Practices 26 regarding Service Issues These complaints were closed as: 95 Administratively Closed 91 Administratively Judged Resolved 4 Disputed 71 No Response 93 Resolved 8 Assumed Resolved 85 Resolved 17 Unresolved

Put a stop pay on the check if not too late.

totally too late. they take check by phone. got the money. what was I thinking? Or not, I guess. I just guessed that's the way they do business to get a speedy pick-up scheduled. Well, it was a speedy way to get my money.
What to do now? I could try for a refund , but that might take months or years. How can people do these kinds of things? I just don't get it. I didn't even think that this might not be an honest deal.....

It's a mistake to use no name/fly by nights to try to save a few $$. Go with Intercity, FedEx or one of the reputable ones.
Not to rub it in, but I'm curious to know why you didn't bother taking a second to run a google search on them? The result pages for "A-Blue Knight Transport" comes up with nothing but "ripoffs" "beware," "consumer alert" etc. I wouldn't send some $20 without googling their name. |

you know, absolutely you are right. I just wasn't thinking enough that day. Lessons are expensive sometimes.
