We got ripped off by Primary Shippers also. Big scam is all it is.
A Dr. Miller contacted us regarding several custom built horse drawn wagons. he placed the orders with a credit card which is not unusual for us. He then requested a quote for shipping and referred us to this shipping company. He also wanted 1st class insurance. The customer instructed us to make the wire transfer required to secure the shipping. Our credit card service then informed us that the credit card transaction were fraudulent. Of course no way to reach these people they just disappear and the money cant be recovered.
This is a credit card fraud money laundering scheme. Do not use Primary Shippers of Roswell, GA, formerly of Bakersfield, CA. (They appear in an earlier rip off report with shippers misspelled as ""shipppers"".) My company was contacted about buying approximately $8,000 of product for shipment to an address in Belgium. The buyer asked for a quote from their favored shipping company, Primary Shippers, based in Bakersfield CA. We got a quote from them without difficulty ($5,300) and quoted the total $13,300 to the customer, Russell Berg and his assistant Justin Joiner. (I now believe these were just names off the stolen credit cards.)
The customer asked to pay by credit card which is unusual for us, and since it was an international purchase, the initial decline or two did not raise suspicion. However, once a card was run successfully, we tried to contact the shipping company to arrange for pick-up and their number was disconnected. I asked our shipping department to contact one of our known shipping companies for a back-up quote. When I informed the customer we had done so, I received a quick response that they would not accept product shipped by any other company because they had bad experiences with others. It was at this point I did a web search for reviews of Primary Shippers. The only applicable result was a previous rip-off report that described almost the exact same scenario.
Predictably, when we did contact Primary Shippers, they insisted on a wire transfer to a Bank of America account based in Georgia. By that time, the website for Primary Shipping had changed its address to indicate they were in an office park in GA, not Bakersfield, CA as the site had indicated just an hour earlier.
