Fantastic service! We always ship items overseas to Chicago and have NEVER been disappointed. Friendly staff and very knowledgeable!
Pick-up from France was on time and delivery to Greece was several days ahead of the date expected. The packages arrived in good condition and the pricing was reasonable. They called a couple of days after delivery to confirm everything had been delivered in time and well. Content with their service and will be recommending to others or employing them again in the future, when needed
I want to thank Spourgitis Transport and especially Mrs. Stylianopoulou Eleni for her excellent cooperation, professionalism and her immediate response towards my order which was an urgent need. Appreciate it. Well done to everyone. (Utrecht,Netherlands)
