I shipped with Evergreen, which was all good and fine and I had posted a positive review for the shipping. I am leaving this negative comment since Evergreen is not sending me my rebate they had promised when I shipped with them. Instead I received the following e-mail:

Sylvan,

Due to the info below, we have had to close our doors and will not be able to give any more rebates. Thank you for shipping with us previously.

In July, 2011 our website was stolen after we discovered fraudulent calls coming from the marketing company we have a rental contract with. The long term rental contract was specific about the website and its phone number. The website produced about 90 percent of our incoming quote requests and bookings. The other 10 percent comes from our other website and repeat customers. We then tried advertising on Google, Yahoo and Bing sponsored ads. On September 13th, 2011 we filed a lawsuit in Portland, Oregon for $520,000 to recover the website and damages. The case number is ASP No. 110913.



As it turns out we did end up losing money on the sponsored links so we laid off several employees and since our office lease was up we were going to move to a tiny office space. In October council told us that the lawsuit was settled and in fact we did get the website back in October. We then leased a bigger office and hired new employees. We even did a press release about it....a Google search will find it. The defendant refused to sign the settlement agreement and stole the website back on December 12th in the afternoon. Since the website produced 90 percent of our revenue, we were forced to immediately cease operations. Evergreen Auto Transport, Inc after meeting its payroll and refunding some customers has no more money.
