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.

Nicole, thank you and your amazing team for a smooth experience in taking control of my export vehicle. Your attention to the detail and diligence in rendering the service is highly appreciated. You made the whole experience so easy and comfortable for me. Up until dealing with you and your team, all previous encounters with other companies claiming to know the process has been shocking. Now I am at the right place. Freight Factory is my new best friend! - Jayson Ramsammy

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

Thank You Freight Factory Team and congratulations for coming through in that challenging time. Here in Eastern Australia we have also been inundated with unprecedented rain events in recent times - sounds like yours was on a totally different level though. - Vince Pulham
