No- just the one amount. Absolutely no breakdown on the charges like you said, which seems suspicious as to how they came up with that amount....

I don't blame VFN for using a specific carrier - its smart business. They're shipping something that has potential for damage so they deal with someone they trust to handle the package properly. They probably get a "preferred rate" but no "kickback". And the pickups are scheduled meaning there is no interuption to their normal routine. Having different carriers show up any time they please and not knowing how to handle the product is just a PITA.
JUST to quote your original post ....so you can't add or change anything AGAIN ...
And I will comment DIRECTLY on each point you make ...
SMART business ? ....... is to do what the customer desires. And to save the customer money if you can.
Potential damage ? .... any truck line that has survived this economy is a good operation. And they all self-insure for damage.
NO kickbacks ? .... bull (no fan)
Interruption to their routine ? .... FIDDLEsticks.. then GET OUT of the shipping-parts by truck freight business ...

When I got my hood the box was caved in on 2 corners... thanks GOD the hood wasnt hurt.... its the LAST ONE and he doesnt have the mold any longer... so all the insurance in the world wouldnt have done SQUAT... that was Yellow Freight (which I picked up at their dock... with all sorts of stuff laying on my hood)

Yes, smart business. Dealing with a minimal number of carriers and getting preferred rates for volume will save your customers money. Doing what the customers desires ... BS! Explain to the customer that you do things a certain way for their benefit and they'll usually see it your way.

Insurance? Great! With all your shipping experience I would imagine at some point you've had to go through that pain! Personally I'd rather have someone I trust handling my goods and never have to deal with insurance. As a customer the last thing I want to hear is "don't worry, its insured". I'd much rather hear "we've been using these guys for years and have never had an issue".
So, how are we gonna settle this ???
