Business ProfileforAllied Auto Shippers LLC

I got a quote in April from Allied to ship a car from ********** to ***** in June. The quote was for $950. I called the week before the scheduled pick up date and was told everything was in order. The day before pick up when they called to let me know when they would pick up the car, they told me it would be $1150. I asked why the price increased and they told me that that was simply what it cost to ship at this point. I was leaving town and did not think I had time to find another shipper that would be available within 2 days so I paid the deposit. After paying the deposit, I decided to check with another transport company to check that the new price was the current going rate. That shipper sent me a verified price of $950. I asked if that was firm or if it could possibly go up and they said no, because I was calling the day before I wanted it picked up, that would be the final price. At that point, I had already paid Allied's deposit but I called to see if they would honor the original quote since they say their company goal is "accurate quotes" and that they will "try to match competitor's rates" and I had received a current quote that matched (actually was slightly under) their original quote of $950. They simply said no. I feel like it was a bait and switch knowing that when I needed the car to be shipped the next day because we were moving, they would have me in a spot where I had no choice. All I want is for them to honor the original quote of $950.
