Testimonials

Well, I’m finally reunited with my Landcruiser. A long time coming. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for your service and professionalism in this undertaking. Even with a hiccup (Hapag Lloyd) and the time of year (Christmas shutdown) you were on top of things to have problems sorted in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to use your service again or recommend your service to another fellow overlander. Those words come with complete sincerity. In saying these words, I also realize that not every client can be easily satisfied. However, it’s the “can do” attitude that permeates Freight factory. The willingness to try and, putting the customer first. I may not own a Ferrari or a Jaguar coupe but still, my vehicle is important to me no matter the cost. Thank you, Al Frewin Thank you.

The Freight Factory are efficient, on the ball and proactive. They are clearly very experienced shippers, and are able to utilise a range of good contacts in a wide range of ports. I was reassured by all aspects of the service they provided throughout a recent booking, and was impressed by their new facilities in Cape Town. My consignment arrived according to schedule and in exactly the condition I expected it to, with minimal fuss.
JOHN LEWIS, ABERAERON

Being a car collector in Cape Town, I've imported many vehicles over the years and always had to fly up to Durban hoping to retrieve my vehicles safely, without running into all the hidden issues, only to discover after paying huge sums, my pride and joy was left outside and been burgled. That's when I've discovered Freight Factory right on my doorstep! Thereafter, it was an easy, smooth transaction - the experts got all the required paperwork in order in no time and my car was on its way, without a worry, arriving safe and secure! They offered secure indoor storage until I was ready to collect - what a pleasure! I will definitely use them again! Many Thanks for your expert service!
