Testimonials
Freight Factory assisted us in obtaining an engine clearance for one of our motorcycles. They provided an excellent service, were informative, friendly and professional. We would recommend them to anyone in need of the specific services they provide.

The staff at Freight Factory made the import of my vehicle a breeze. The process of dealing with the shipping company and South African customs would have been a nightmare, but luckily they did it all. Everyone was really helpful from start to finish and even after I received my vehicle they were still on the other side to assist with the registration process etc. I wholeheartedly recommend using Freight Factory for any importing needs. Thanks to everyone else at Freight Factory for making this as painless as possible!

You will never go wrong with the Freight Factory as they go all out for their clients, the level of commitment and service given and clients are always informed on the status of their shipments. I would recommend Freight Factory at any given time.

I have used “Freight Factory” and in particular Lorraine to successfully take charge of the shipping & importation of my delicate C-Type Jaguar project. This consisted of arranging and advising of the paperwork required as well as following up with local authorities and the handling of the UK transport to the port, containerisation, shipping, clearing and unloading in CT. I highly recommend the services of “Freight Factory” for any similar requirements.
