WWR booking # PO468-05
WWR contracted a company in Georgia to collect goods and to load into a shipping cntr for shipment to the UK. Goods collected Oct 13th - still in georgia as at 26th April. Ultimate owner of goods in the UK has reported having paid to WWR $2500.00 to attend to the colelction and shipping.
On the 18th March, the owner of the goods in the UK was recommened to Ambrit USA Inc -an international forwarding company based in Florida - to ask for assistance (tel 9564 484 9086, fax 954 484 9074, email [email protected], web site www.ambritusa.com)
After some telephone and email exchanges, Malcolm of Ambrit spoke wit the company in Georgia who have the goods to ascertain they were still there and find out the payment situation. Ambrit also visited to the known offices of WWR - their correspondence shows suite # 480 but this has changed to suite 415 - which is an office management company. Receiptionist advised that WWR onbly visit the office on rare occasions to collct any mail and telephone messages. Anmbrit card left requesting call back.
Ambrit also visited the better Business Bureau located on the 3rd floor of the same office building. BBB adviused that in the last 3 yrs they have received 134 complaints a gainst WWR and that they havd had 12 complaints this year. BBB also advised that the membership for WWR with BBB has been suspended.
Ambrit finally recvd a reply to several emails to WWR - the reply from WWR "due to a variety of factors that include a current economic downturtn, excessive bad debt, write offs and strategic business decisions that resulted in negative cashflow" and it goes on and also states WWR are closing down and have not yet filed for protection under bankruptcy laws but it is an option. WWR also states "Our commitment remains in effect until the last shipment is delivered and/or resolved"
In the second paragraph of their letter they state they cannot pay its current outstanding debt and therefore any clients have to make their own financial arrangementsa with companies who have their goods.
If anyone requires a copy of this letter from WWR (which is dtated 04/21/05) please email me - through the rebuttal key we would also be pleased to assist in any outstanding shipments.
