A sustainable packaging company
I have received a great service from the XPand Logistics team. I had never imported before and had little guidance from our shipper, so was working uninitiated. Regardless, the XPand team showed incredible patience and were extremely professional throughout the whole process. It was a pleasure to do business with XPand Logistics.”
