Testimonials
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
I was looking to ship my car to the UK when I was recommended to Freight Factory. Their level of professionalism goes beyond what you think you would receive from a business, my car was delivered to my door in the UK fully registered, and I was communicated every step of the process. They were always contactable to answer my queries and made the whole process very easy and stress free. They arranged everything from customs to registering and delivery on the other side, from start to finish I knew my vehicle was in reliable hands.

ROAD & RACE
I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to your company, and in particular to Ian Ziller and Nicole Veale, for the exceptionally professional and friendly service I’ve received. I first connected with Ian around two years ago, but due to a few unforeseen hiccups, the importation was put on hold. When I re established contact a few months ago, Ian immediately remembered who I was and quickly provided a solution along with an updated quote. He arranged the collection of the goods, handled all the packing requirements, and essentially removed all the stress from the project. I was then handed over to Nicole, who continued the same high level of professionalism and communication, making the process seamless from start to finish. Please accept my thanks (so far) for the outstanding service, and a heartfelt appreciation to both Ian and Nicole for their excellent support. Regards Mark Hicks
