This review reflects an initially frustrating experience that was ultimately resolved with clear communication and dedicated customer service.We shipped five items using Ship Smart's white-glove service.Initially, we received an estimate, and my sister sent the five items. However, after shipping, we were informed of a significant price increase due to the option of crating. This unexpected adjustment felt unfair and left me questioning the transparency of the process.Despite our dissatisfaction, we decided to proceed. The items arrived in excellent condition, and the moving company outsourced by Ship Smart handled the delivery well. However, upon arrival, the movers informed me that the white-glove service did not include assembly. While they generously offered to assemble the items for free, I declined, as it was not part of what we paid for. This was disappointing, as I expected assembly to be included given the premium price of the white-glove service.Ship Smart’s customer service team, however, made a significant effort to address the issue. Ana Mayer, the agent who handled our concerns, provided an excellent explanation of the miscommunication and worked diligently to resolve the matter. Her professionalism and clear communication went above and beyond, ensuring the situation was clarified to my satisfaction. Her help was critical in salvaging an otherwise frustrating experience, and I truly appreciate the effort she put into resolving our concerns.
