Testimonials
How have they found importing?
-
Great service, great people. A really great freight forwarder. Don't look anywhere else. After having some bad experiences with other forwarders in the UK, we're so happy we've found a long term partner in Shippo. They go above and beyond when required.

We have just imported a container from China for the first time with Shippo. We were nervous about the process involved but Phoebe at Shippo was very helpful and the website is full of useful information. Delivery was done swiftly after arrival of the container and at the allocated time.

Having used several freight forwarders, Shippo stand out by a clear mile. Excellent service, always keeping us informed on the latest regarding our shipments, and at a competitive price too. Really can't fault anything about them. They break down the complicated process of importing, and really make it seem simple.
