If you are speaking to a representative
of the auto shipping service in
person or on the phone, be sure
to take notes of what is agreed
upon in speech as well as the name
of the person you spoke to. You
will also want to record the date
and time for further reference.
Also, if any money is paid to the
car shipping service before they
complete their service, always be
sure to obtain a receipt.
Once you are presented with the
written contract, read it very carefully.
The written contract will usually
be what the company will be willing
to offer, and if you were promised
something and it is not reflected
in the written contract, then bring
it to the attention of the
auto shipper that you were promised
something other than what is shown
on paper.
Usually, if the shipping company
will work with you for any dispute
you may have. If the oral agreement
is fair and was promised, then the
company will usually amend the contract
to show what is promised to you.
If the company is unable to change
the written agreement to suit what
you were promised orally, then do
not sign that contract.
If you do sign it and there is
a discrepancy later on, then you
will not have a chance to alter
the agreement to your favor, especially
since a worded document is clear
and shows the details of the contract
of service. After the service is
performed, then it becomes even
harder, as most companies will never
honor oral agreements versus written
contracts.
Your written contract will always
be the one that you should go by,
no matter what you are promised
from another person. Make sure that
you obtain a copy of your contract,
especially if there are any changes
or amendments made. In contracts,
it takes a lot more to prove an
oral contract exists than it does
for a written one, so if promises
of services are made, then you should
always strive to obtain it in writing.
