TSI Shipping Reviews

I shipped a 6-foot desk in an 8-foot custom crate, contracted through UPS, for an east to west coast shipment taking around 3 weeks. After two months and no answers other than a COVID-19 delay I asked where it was. Nobody could tell me. There was a lot of finger pointing beginning with UPS who claimed we just consign it" and zero accountability from anyone I spoke to. No tracking information and a slew of emails from reps within the contracted companies claiming nobody is returning our calls, it's on the truck, it's in the warehouse, it's out for delivery and finally, it's a remote location (it was not), so it's difficult to deliver". I asked for photographic proof and none was ever provided. I asked for copies of consignment paperwork - none provided. I went to the top of the company and the response was "we're so sorry, we will process a claim. I can order a paperclip from Amazon and track it from the moment it leaves the warehouse to the time it arrives at my doorstep. This company failed on every level. I would not recommend this company.

While my delivery was delayed by at least 2 weeks, my biggest issue with TSI Shipping is their absolutely non-existent communication throughout the process. I booked a job on May 3, 2019, to have a media cabinet moved from Austin to Dallas. I knew it might be 10-15 days before it was picked up and, once picked up, another 15-20 days before delivery. The cabinet was picked up on May 18, 2019, so I was expecting delivery on or about June 14th, a full 20 business days from the pick-up date. On Monday, June 10th, I contacted TSI by phone to inquire the status of delivery. I was told the cabinet was in the Dallas area and I should be receiving a call either that day or the next to schedule a date for delivery. As of Thursday, June 13th I'd not received a call so, I called back. I was told they would check the status and call me back by close of business that day. Again, I didn’t hear back from them so I called the following day. I was once more told they would check the status and get back to me. They offered to e-mail me an update, which I said would be fine since was at work and didn't want to miss the call. Again, nothing. After no communication for another full week, I followed up on Friday, June 21st. I explained the history of communication, or lack thereof, and asked for a status. I was told the manager, Bob, would get back to me by the close of business. Once again, after allowing several days for them to follow up with me and not receiving any communication from the manager, as promised, I called again on Tuesday, June 25th. This time, I asked to speak with a manager and was given Renee's voice mail. I left a message. After 3 hours, I called again. I spoke with Ryan and explained my frustration with the now late delivery and complete lack of communication. Ryan was very understanding and said he would do all he could to ensure I would get a call back that same day. I did finally receive a call from Bob, who apologized for the delay in delivery and said he had confirmed it would be delivered that Thursday, June 27th. I asked him for a time frame so I could arrange for someone to be there to accept delivery and he said he would call me back later that day with that information. Well, you guessed it ... no phone call back. On the morning of June 27th, delivery day, I called to inquire about a timeframe and was transferred, and then disconnected. I called back and the call went immediately to a holding music status and then again disconnected my call. I called again and began leaving messages for managers. First Renee, then Bob, then April, but eventually I had to leave for work. Around 930am, I received a call from Bob who said he'd checked and they could deliver the cabinet the next day. I asked what happened to the "confirmed to be delivered on Thursday, 6/27" to which I got a bit of run-around. I told him Friday was not good for me and asked if a Saturday delivery would be possible. He said he wasn't sure but that he was going to have the delivery dispatcher call me right away to arrange for a date convenient for me. After several hours of not hearing from anyone, I used the TSI online chat to see if I could get someone to call me. Sam, the delivery dispatcher called and immediately began providing information for a Friday delivery. I explained that would not be possible and inquired about a Saturday deliver. He said he would contact someone and would call me right back. After several hours, I called Sam back and he immediately said he had an answer and that yes, they would deliver that Saturday. I confirmed it was to be delivered Saturday, June 29th, between 7am - 10am and he confirmed this information. About an hour later, I received a call from the delivery driver confirming my delivery for Friday, June 28th! I explained that no, it was not supposed to be delivered on Friday but on Saturday, June 29th. He said he'd get with the dispatcher and straighten it out. Much to my surprise, I actually did receive deliver on Saturday, June 29th, around 8am. Mind you, every time I spoke with someone at TSI they were very polite and understanding; however, no one ever could give any information and no one would return a call, as promised. While I'm certain my small shipment was a mere drop in the bucket of their overall revenue, it was still a considerable amount for me to pay. I was not being unreasonable about the timeframe and really didn’t care if it would have taken another 30 days to deliver. I just wanted someone to care enough to return a call with some information. Their atrocious customer service was frustrating, to say the least.

As I wrote previously....tried more than 8/9..times ....phone call as only a recording saying" leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as possible"....wanted to cancel as my shipping needs were ....depending on immediate delivery....not 3 weeks..+ out...as the as the owner of the sofa sold to me was being shipped from the seller who had been sick ..and may go into hospital...therefore needed to be transported I mediate/ also TSI charged my Amex/ immediate ....any info about how long.......etc..cancelled this or tried to more ......than a one should....trying to reach the TSI company......and the Manager or supervisor Carol?....Regards djane Armstrong,St. Petersburg,Florida

Relied on them to ship heirloom furniture, promised white glove service, crating and care. Furniture arrived damaged and uncrated and uncovered. Significant damage. Refused to refinish and refund. Said I should have bough extra insurance. Not good for their word. I could have protected it myself and sent on another carrier. BUT These guys promised me “white glove”
