Shipping to the USA

Shipping cargo to the USA? It makes perfect sense, especially with America being the second-largest car market in the world. South Africans have a deep love for American muscle cars, and we’ve been importing these iconic machines since they first hit the open roads.

At Freight Factory, we specialize in making this process seamless, ensuring your prized vehicles and other cargo are safely shipped between South Africa and the USA. Whether you’re importing or exporting, we’ve got the expertise to handle the logistics.

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.

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.
