Mark with WEMOVEBOATS is a boat shipping scam artist, and he's been at it for many years. I was OVER CHARGED BY $8000 for something that was completely out of my hands. My advice is to steer clear, do not hire these clowns. They know exactly how to clean out your bank account, and you will be HELPLESS.
I went on the shipping site called Uship to ship my newly purchased sailboat across country. I was immediately contacted by Mark with wemoveboats, or whatever they are (Winston trucking), first he sent me an outrageously high offer then attempted to contact me OFF THE SITE, to make me a much lower offer. Saying that the Uship site is a total ripoff and all they do is exchange our phone numbers for a 30% cut, and that if I decided to book him OFF the Uship Platform, he would pass that 30% savings on to me, SOUNDS GREAT... RIGHT!! i went ahead and booked them to ship my boat, that's when everything went to hell and all promises went out the window!!
First they were OVER 30 DAYS LATE to pickup. Had to change both yards scedules several times costing me more money in storage and haul outs. When they finally picked up my boat, the boat showed up with scratches, road debris and scum, missing parts, dinged up mast, AND THE CABIN WAS MOLESTED..!! and they wanted to charge me an additional $2500 for EXTRA WEIGHT...!!! They treated me with total disrespect, talked to me like I am a total idiot and I should have known the boat will arrive in this condition. they demanded CASH, and all Mark was screaming in my face was "NO CASH NO SPLASH" ...
WOW, I should have known the first time he called me off the site.. shoud have followed my gut feeling, he was a smooth talker with lots of promises.! I am only writing this hoping to save the next person from these scammers. WATCH OUT FELLOW BOATERS, IT WAS ROUGH SEAS.
