For Crystalp Jewellery to expand into Australia, finding a specialist Customs Clearance Agent was critical. After meeting Peter McRae seven years ago, Crystalp Jewellery has used Platinum Freight for Customs clearance and distribution to our customers. It has been a pleasure to deal with Peter. His operation has cleared and dispatched our products in an extremely efficient and timely manner. Peter’s integrity and honesty is without challenge.
After an unexpected hold-up at Customs, I risked missing my flight while Customs processed the diamonds I was carrying in hand. I made a business decision: pay a broker to speed up the process and save on hotels and new flight costs. Platinum Freight cleared the diamonds in 30 minutes, meaning I didn’t miss my flight after all. Impressive.
On our first visit to an overseas jewellery fair, we purchased far beyond what we had planned. Then we got to customs, not knowing what would happen. They gave us a sheet of Custom Brokers and we randomly selected Platinum Freight Management. It proved to be an excellent choice. Peter McRae’s service was remarkable. Quick, efficient, great communications and before long the box of sparkles was back in our procession. We were very pleased with the company’s quality of service.
