NEVER use Transpro car transporters!

Just a wee gripe, and warning for anyone who uses vehicle transporters in the future.
Bought a GQ on TM before Xmas, and paid $330 to get it from Marton to Picton. Was told it wouldn't get on the ferry before xmas, which was fine, but it took until yesterday to get picked up, and numerous emails and phone calls to get this far.
Transporter turned up after 5pm, and didn't call beforehand as requested, so the previous owners had to wait the full day for them, and then the driver got a 17yo at the house to load it on the truck for him?!
Before leaving, driver mentioned that he had left Auckland at 4am that morning, and would be in Wellington at around 8pm that night, without a break
(if I had known earlier I would have phoned ahead to have him stopped and log books checked)
I have made 4 phone calls today to ask where the safari is, as it was meant to be in Picton today, but still no reply.
Never use this transport company, they are absolute idiots!
