Mercury Pdx

Having pulled aside as much as possible in a packed roundabout outside of the big black box (where Regence Blue Cross is located), I waited the for my husband to come down. A couple of minutes after I pulled in, a MercuryPDX driver pulled in behind me, seemingly struggling with the same packed conditions. He slowly inched his way closer to my car, but I had nowhere to go. Then, he got out of his car and approached my window; when I rolled it down, rather than politely ask if I would mind rounding the block, he said ""Do you realize you are wasting us money?"" (The driver had included another patron in his rant, who approached me after MPDX's driver's hostile outburst and said not to pay attention to him). MercuryPDX's driver then told me that by staying put he could call the cops and have me arrested for kidnapping, which is ludicrous. I was waiting like everyone else. Ultimately, I pulled into the street and parked illegally in a loading zone because his aggressive behavior seemed to escalate when I told him that talking to people that way wasn't going to get him what he wanted. This was my first encounter with this business, and I can guarantee that I will never use their services. I have reviewed their website and understand the mission of their company, but there is a way of accomplishing such goals without harassing the general public, all of whom are potential clients, which their driver might be in need of remembering. I know that the holidays are stressful, but I imagine that even in the holidays (if not especially) most people would expect more from Portland's ""premier delivery service since 2000,"" and I would hope that they expect more from their employees more

Called these guys today for a rush from Gresham to Lake Grove and they got it done in 45 mins. Crazy. Only drawback was they charged extra for waiting when the package wasn't ready, but that's understandable. Recommend! Pros: Easy, quick and intelligent more

Our law firm switched to Mercury in July of 2008, and I can tell you that after using multiple messengers over the past 10 years, these guys are a cut above. They do 30 minute rushes out to Tigard and Clackamas for me, and actually get them done on time. I get email notifications when my packages are delivered, which none of the other local companies offer. Now THAT'S transparency and accountability!!! Pros: Good rates, better service Cons: They get here TOO fast sometimes more

How did the business start? Who were the founders? Where did the funds come from? Google Norman Schlunt murderer. Then find out who are the current owners? Ask, is one of them just as narcissistic, insecure, selfish and money hungry as Norman Schlunt? Do you want to do business with a company that cares about their employees or do you not care that the owners of this company make promises to employees faster than the wind coming out of the gorge? Any company can come up with statements of accountability and transparency but is this company living it? The answers to these simple questions will help you decide if you should do business with MercuryPDX. You have many options available to you. I encourage you to use one of the other courier services in Portland. Transerve, Pronto or Rose City Messenger are better options without all the baggage that Mercury brings. Pros: Good support staff Cons: bad business plan and sales tactics that make used car salesmen look intelligent more

As one of the partners here at MercuryPDX, I can tell you that the above post is completely false, and in my opinion, agenda-driven. more

According to the owners managers or whever they are, this comnay might be closing their doors due to financial problems more
