Pilot Freight Services Reviews

Had scheduled a pickup for a TV that was being returned (for being defective). I had received the confirmation email on 8FEB2018 from Pilot stating they would be picking up my TV (packaged and ready to go) between 12-3pm on 13FEB2018. At 5pm, I called to see where they were. They had told me that they never dispatched the driver, and they could put me on the books for the next day. That means, had I not called, Pilot was NEVER going to pick up my scheduled and purchased pickup. They were just going to pocket the money and pretend it never happened. Never mind the added stress of rearranging my schedule for another day so that they could honor their business promises. Don’t waste your time or money on these frauds.

Pilot started out our business relationship by literally forgetting to pick up my washer from the Sears Outlet Center. After two weeks of waiting for it to be delivered, and then finally managing to convince someone that the tracking website wasn't accurate, they told me it had never been picked up, and blamed it on Sears for not being ready which was a blatant lie. They redispatched their driver who didn't pick up the washer for at least two more weeks, though I can't say for sure when it was picked up, because the website tracking information is meaningless, and the people on the phone are either clueless or downright hostile and won't provide information.

So I bought a TV from Wal-Mart. Took 5 days to get to Syracuse. They then had to call and set an appointment. The guy never called and said I didn't answer so I call him set an appointment for the next day. Pops up on my tracking info that the appointment is said for the next day and between 11 am to 3 pm. He then calls the next day and says, "Oh! I didn't set the appointment. It will come tomorrow." I'm a livid. I took today and yesterday off so I could be home a day to enjoy my new TV. Do not ship anything through them!!

Pilot picked my TV for return to Amazon on 12/04/2017. As of 12/30/2017, I have not received credit. When I contacted Pilot, they show the TV picked up on the 4th but the tracking stops there. Pilot rep sent a note to the warehouse asking for an update. You would think their system would flag showing no updates and they would be proactive. 4 weeks and still out 1900.

Pilot Freight is the absolutely worst freight company you could ever come across. If you want something delivered a week late and to have to deal with the worst customer service people, then go ahead and use them. I've never experienced a company like this company!!!! Rude from the word go and late, I never got my package to top it all off!!!

This is the worst shipping company ever. I ordered a TV from Dell on Black Friday and have not got it yet. Every time I call Pilot they tell a different excuse. I was promised this to be delivered to my house on Dec.4 and it’s Dec.9 and still no TV. I will never buy anything from anyone that uses this company as a shipper again!!! I think the worst part about it the people that work there act like it’s no big deal and don’t offer to help in any way. They just say it will get there when it gets there. Stick to FedEx and UPS. At least they do their job!!!

The Denver office has absolutely the worst customer service. The woman I spoke with on multiple occasions was rude, condescending and sarcastic. Aggressively answering your questions, she is the worst customer service agent I have ever had the misfortune of speaking with. And I know... I train call center agents on customer service skills. If you are going to continue to employ such a bitter human being, stick her in loading, where the general public is safe from her disdainful personality.

Wish I could give them ZERO stars, worst delivery company I have EVER seen or heard of. Twice on the BOL and on the box states 2 men are required due to the size and weight. They sent one man with a pick up truck, Extremely Unprofessional!!! The guy plopped it onto my sliding door base and the 700.00 Bathtub I have is cracked. They will not do anything to fix the issue!!! Even though they did not make the delivery as required. Elite... far from it!!! PS Pilot Freight Services is who farmed out the shipping to this horrible company! The only solution they offered was to not bathe for 6-7 weeks while returning the item, getting my $ back, then waiting for a replacement.

The customer service representatives were extremely rude and I mean beyond rude, they hung up on me, TWICE! I called them to schedule my delivery and they were rude! I've never had such awful service. I called back after being hung up on the first time and asked for a manager to try to get my problem resolved and address the issue of Tiffany being rude and hanging up on me but instead of getting a manager they put Tiffany back on the phone, who yelled at me and then hung up on me, AGAIN! Needless to say, I cancelled my order as they refused to deliver it and I was getting nowhere with this shipping company so I purchased my item somewhere else with a better shipping company. If you want good customer service and actually want your items you order to be delivered then do NOT deal with Pilot Freight Services for delivery!

Only gave 1 star because I couldn't give negative 1. Delivery was 4 days late and when I received it (television) the screen was busted in several locations. And the delivery charge was expensive. Don't use them!!!!

If you are in a rush this company will just your waste time. Paid for 2-day shopping. Label made on a Friday and order didn't arrive until Wednesday, never scheduled a delivery period with me then precedes to knock only and not being the doorbell @ 10 am all while never saying a signature is needed for delivery. Go to reschedule and the customer service sucks just as bad as the delivery service. Would never recommend. Previous item delivered by them came damaged if that shows anything about this company.

We contacted Pilot because FedEx and UPS (both Express and Freight) are getting very expensive. Because we ship quite a lot, we contacted Pilot to open an account. Their prices were great; especially compared to the other two I mentioned. The first item shipped was a piece of artwork. It arrived in a damaged crate. The back of the wooden crate was torn open! The driver refused to help the recipient open the crate to inspect for damage. The client is really upset with us and we will have to replace the artwork. Fortunately, it can be replaced. I would never use the services of this organization again.

Paid 335.00 for refrigerator to get delivered into threshold of home, didn't happen. I had to go to pick it up myself from Pilot. I asked about a delivery refund, I was told to call Sears where I ordered online. The guy pilot had a nasty attitude and stated that he tried to setup a delivery day. I never received a call, I had to call them to see what was going on with my refrigerator. I was told over the phone that he wasn't going to send his guys out to my home at 5:00 on or later because my address is at the very edge of delivery boundary. I don't get off work until 4:30 and it takes me a hour to get home from work. Really Pilot, you have been paid 335.00 to deliver 45 minutes from the Pilot delivery station/location. I'm trying to get a delivery refund. I see that Pilot has listed my delivery as delivered by them LIE. Sears outlet.com is working to see if I can be refunded my delivery fees.

I ordered a 65 in TV. First one was lost in shipping. After reordering the second they told me 3-5 days shipping. It was a Monday when I reordered the TV. Now Pilot Freight is telling me I won't be the new TV delivered for another 6 days. And not only was the customer rep very rude, but after talking with a supervisor. He told me to use FedEx or UPS next time and hung up the phone. Now I am still waiting on my T.V. with no professional guidance!!! That's a third rate freight company. Wal-Mart should never of used a company which has such poor ratings, and customer service!!! And after reading all the other reviews. I hope the T.V. doesn't come damaged like so many other deliveries they had before.

On August 10, 2017, I ordered two rack shelves from Sam's Club. One was a 60 inch rack and the other a 77 inch rack. The 60 inch was shipped by FedEx and arrived within 4 days. The 77 inch was shipped by Pilot shipping. Sam's Club gave me what turned out to be a bogus tracking number for Pilot. I made the discovery after waiting 5 days to try track my package. I had to call a representative of Sam's Club to get the correct tracking number. According to Pilot's website, my order was received by them on August 12 (ten days ago as of this writing). I was expecting that my order would be shipped to me within 3-5 days.

I ordered a couch TWICE from Sam’s Club and didn’t get it delivered because of them AND the crappy service I received from Pilot Freight company! Ordering this item has been the WORST experience of my LIFE! I live on a 3rd floor but when you order this item it states in small tiny, tiny writing that this is a 'standard order', which means there are delivery restrictions. Furthermore, when you request delivery Pilot will give you are time range that they'll be there but they show up way after that requested time frame (like 11am- 3pm... but deliver at 5pm!), wasting your time & energy.

I ordered an item from Walmart. Usually Walmart sends items with UPS. In fact part of my order was delivered by UPS within the quoted delivery date. The item ordered sat on the Pilot facility for five days and missed the quoted delivery time. Walmart was not very helpful and each party blamed the other. Never order an item from Walmart if Pilot Freight is delivering, just some friendly advice if you are in need of something on time.

Walmart used Pilot Freight Services to deliver an order, a 75lb Little Tikes playhouse. It's been sitting at the local Pilot distribution station since the 10th but the soonest they can deliver is the 18th? Walmart said it would be delivered by the 13th. Tried contacting the local station to see if they could deliver it sooner but no response, 3 days later.

They delivered a sofa on 6/5/17 which was damaged with a huge hole in the top of the sofa. I refused delivery due to damage. As of today Pilot still has not sent this sofa back so I could get a refund or a replacement sofa which happens to be a gift for my daughter. Delivery guys said it was damaged in warehouse but if that's the case why would they deliver an item that was damaged prior to them delivering this to me. I just got off the phone with someone at Pilot warehouse in Cincinnati and the sofa is still sitting there since 6/5/17 and they have no clue why that is. I just wanted to warn anyone that is thinking about using Pilot to reconsider it. They are not BBB accredited.

The dispatcher at the Indianapolis office was extremely rude. The delivery was an hour past delivery window given with no communication from their office. After the first call I was told it would be 20 mins, after another 60 mins I called again and was told it would be another 10 mins. I asked to speak with a manager and was told she was in a meeting and unable to speak. I would never use this freight company again and would not recommend them.

Pilot Freight damaged a 8,000.00 table, and would not pay for the value of the table. They took the table out of the packing, and rammed it with a forklift. Do not ever use this company if you want something shipped. They will damaged anything and not take the responsibility for what they damaged.

The price was okay. Unfortunately though, it was very costly like more things that have to be shipped on planes. So I was satisfied with it. It took forever. I was waiting for almost over 2 hours just to get my stuff. The man who helped me however was very kind and helpful. So I'm not too happy with it. Quality was okay. It came a day late because of weather which I understand but I wish it hadn't taken so long. But overall I guess you could say it was good.

It was so not worth it over 100.00 for shipping and it took too long! Didn't know it would be delivered late or wouldn't have paid for the whole. Will probably never be using it again after that experience. They didn't care at all. They even had my tracking information incorrect multiple times in a row. I pretty much had to just sit and wait for it to show up because they didn't know where it was themselves. My order at least came the way I ordered it! I was expecting a super big beat up box and turned out okay. Enough to sign for at least, just will never use them again for shipping options. I guess my order got delayed, but I was never told it got delayed! I pretty much just figured it out myself when it didn't arrive on time to my front door.

Service was most worth the price. Very fast shipping. Has detail. Has easy to go menu - doesn't take long in what you are looking for. Guarantee worth the try. Process was fast and easy. Not much to it. Just get what you need and pay. Sometimes shipping can be high but it's worth the price all and around. Care is good and product was tough. Please give them a try. You won't regret it. They are a good company. Just need more visitors and such. It was on time. Came faster than told. Was very surprised with the packaging. Well safe and kept. Nothing was loose. Had an email if I can reach of an accident.

The price is extremely fair compared to the rest of the market and the bigger fleets out there. They will continue to give you the best rates and they will match anyone's rate that is out there. They are very professional and easy to deal with. If you have any concerns about your delivery the process is very easy and they will assist you with any concerns. The quality speaks for itself because actually there is no better group out there. The customer service is top of the line and I was totally impressed with this overall value. Transit time depends on the length and the load but 99% of the transit time is within a awesome time frame. The best part of this is that you can track your shipment 24 hours a day and know how your delivery is on schedule.

Very affordable with competitive rates that I promise you won't find anywhere else. They were fast, reliable and did I mention again affordable. The price is worth every last bit of the service you will receive. You won't be disappointed. The claim process is very helpful, fast and you won't be disappointed. Sometimes you may have to wait a few but they will get back to you in a timely manner. No claim goes undone. Other companies can't compare - I'm sure of it. If I had to do it again I will choose this company every time. Usually with other companies transit time take forever and it's just a hassle to wait forever to receive your item when you may other something you need right away. Trust me, you won't have this problem with this company.

The price for shipping with them is great! I was able to ship lots of material out without having to blow my budget or worry that it wasn't worth the cost. The claims process was fantastic. It was fast and reliable. I was able to go through it with ease and speed without having to spend all day double checking everything. The quality of shipping was amazing. I didn't have to worry about anything being messed up or not being received on time. It was handled with the utmost of respect and care. The transit time with this shipping was great. We didn't have to wait very long to handle any processes or for items to get where they needed to go. Very expedited.

The price was ok, about the same on time, no problems. The company is on target. Price is right in line with other company. The claims process was ok, helpful, did what had to be done for the customers and not hard to deal with. No problems to think of. Overall good. The quality was good. Will use again and overall looked good. Transit time good, on time, came when told it would. All products good, no damage, not late on schedule.

It was definitely worth the price. I would most definitely recommend to friends and family about its affordability. Safe and secure, very professional and prompt. It was incredibly easy to use and gave me little to no trouble at all. Typical procedure of showing proper ID and documentation. Great claims service. Not too difficult. It did not take too long and arrived at promptly the allotted date. Great transit service.
