Perfect service, very professional. Such an easy process. Saved me hundreds of dollars within the first two emails negotiating an LCL rate from China. Will definitely use again.
New to importing I thought I might stuff it up, and be up for storage fees, but The staff at platinum were patient and generous with their time, helping me and my supplier get them the required paperwork and clear my goods quickly and with no excess storage fees. Would highly Recommend.
Great customer service and always on time. They also went above and beyond finding GST exemptions on some of my products. So Im a huge fan of Platinum Freight.
