In addition to sound technical competence, a very constructive and flexible workforce and close / supportive management team. Would willingly recommend or be available for testimonial or ‘private’ viewing etc.

In October of 2018, I was searching for a new Logistics Company. Due to the size and weight of our product, moving it and delivering it can be a challenge. We ship both domestically and internationally and I needed a company that could handle all facets of our shipping needs. I happened upon Astern Shipping and reached out to them. My only regret is that I did not find them 10 years sooner! Rakesh and his crews have been outstanding! For our ocean and international shipments, Kelly and her team in Erie have been excellent. There is no issue or problem they can’t solve and they do it quickly, efficiently, and with kindness and care. Thank you all for making my life infinitely easier!

Astern team is amazing. Professional, timely, communicative. They work seamlessly and when troubleshooting is needed, they always find the right solution.

I want to express my appreciation to your team for their support for a Mexico shipment for a list of machines and fixtures that were delivered today.

Special thanks to Rakesh! My coworker initiated this shipment in May 2019 but till May 2020 we had no success bringing the shipment up to (our Illinois location). Our operation has started experiencing downtime without these machines. This shipment involved some old purchases (5 years ago) out of a Mexico factory as well as some fixtures exported from the US to Mexico back then. Due to the long history, it was unclear for the vendor regarding the export documentation. Francisco took advantage of his expertise on Customs clearance for Mexico and the US. He took initiative on this subject and discussed it with the vendor and Logistics Plus’ internal team with the intention to save (our company) costs. Without his effort, (our company) could have paid an additional cost of $3,600 and other minimal charges. Cynthia has been giving special love to this shipment and monitored the whole process very closely making sure nothing falls short. Most importantly, this shipment has arrived at (our Illinois location) this afternoon.

This shipment is the first batch of a larger list. I will keep Astern Shipping in mind for the remaining items on the list as well as future international shipments.

Thanks again.

I was completely confident we could deliver the project on time, for the agreed-upon price, despite having less than eight months in which to design, permit, and build the facility. Such confidence comes from the long-term relationship of our team with a proven record of excellent results….I am very pleased with your work, as I have been for twenty-five years
