Testimonials

I have never imported before. This is the first import I have had from America and I have found R W Freight to be very helpful in imparting knowledge to me and guiding me through the process. Their customer service is excellent, the persons appointed to look after me have been very informative and advised me all delays in the vessel sailing and I have been able to inform my clients. I feel completely confident and safe in R W Freight's hands!
