I certainly would not use Con-Way ever again. I feel like that is poor business practice. The first time I was notified of a price change SHOULD NOT have been when the item arrives at my door. It seems to me that if the customer's part doesn't meet Con-Way's criteria, the should let you know before it leaves Florida, in this case. My disappointment comes from the disconnect between Con-Way and the customers. But there is nothing in writing, and I expect they will now contend that 300 is the required class.īut again, I will make a contact on our end and see if any good comes of it. They were the ones, a few years ago, that said they could ship the frame class 100, and indeed, we have shipped many frames at that class. Then a couple of years go by, business picks up, and they start reclassifying things, perhaps even giving up the "marginal" accounts that they don't make much money on. Having observed this over the years, I really think what happens is that when business gets slow, they send their sales people out to book new accounts at very favorable freight classifications.
And there are so many guidelines which classify freight in overlapping ways that they can always pull some new rule out of the book and say this is what it should be. They do reserve the right to reclassify freight any time they want. We have not had this happen with Conway before, (we did have it happen with Consolidated) but nonetheless, I'm not surprised. I'll see if I can do anything on our end, but it's doubtful. E-M missed the boat on their shipping estimation, for sure.
