Feb 19,2025I've paid $13400 for a $5000 to Advance Transport Services delivery to my door. In Apple gift cards as they wouldn't let me do a bank transfer now they are demanding another $3000 . The man 8m sending all this money too is named Stephen Burns. Says he's a manager in Washington. The packages are in Brisbane Australia. I have received 1 invoice for $5000. He refuses to give me any invoices for any other payments I've made. Or my husbands packages . I am a 73 year old pensioner sending him my whole pension every fortnight

Feb 15,2025From start to finish ShipSmart impressed me with their customer service, whether by phone, text, or in person. I had only one week to move my mother’s possessions from her apartment into a long-term care facility, which meant extreme downsizing. Further complicating matters was that she lives in Canada (Toronto) and I wanted to make sure that some family heirlooms remained in the family and delivered to where I lived in the USA (Tampa). I did stress about how to get them down to the US, as I flew up to Toronto and was without a vehicle while there. The people I interacted with at ShipSmart were so accommodating and helpful, as I am not the most technologically savvy and an international shipment further complicated matters, what with customs declarations, etc. When the shipment arrived to my home, the packing was done with such care; I could tell that much thought went into how best to transport the furniture without inflicting any damage. I am most pleased to have used them and would definitely recommend their company and services.

Jan 29,2025This Company is a joke! Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time and money on this company. The give you an estimate that's way off what they will charge you at the end. The customer service is non existence.

Jan 10,2025This was the right choice moving 500 books from Arizona to North Carolina for a good price. Everything went very smoothly and all the books arrived safely in our Center. I strongly recommend the company for large or heavy shipments

Nov 24,2024Once the ball got rolling the service was excellent! Everything happened according to how it was explained from pickup to delivery! The cross country delivery even happened ahead of schedule. Would definitely use their services again. This particular service was to ship a bed.

Nov 16,2024This review reflects an initially frustrating experience that was ultimately resolved with clear communication and dedicated customer service. We shipped five items using Ship Smart's white-glove service. Initially, we received an estimate, and my sister sent the five items. However, after shipping, we were informed of a significant price increase due to the option of crating. This unexpected adjustment felt unfair and left me questioning the transparency of the process. Despite our dissatisfaction, we decided to proceed. The items arrived in excellent condition, and the moving company outsourced by Ship Smart handled the delivery well. However, upon arrival, the movers informed me that the white-glove service did not include assembly. While they generously offered to assemble the items for free, I declined, as it was not part of what we paid for. This was disappointing, as I expected assembly to be included given the premium price of the white-glove service. Ship Smart’s customer service team, however, made a significant effort to address the issue. Ana Mayer, the agent who handled our concerns, provided an excellent explanation of the miscommunication and worked diligently to resolve the matter. Her professionalism and clear communication went above and beyond, ensuring the situation was clarified to my satisfaction. Her help was critical in salvaging an otherwise frustrating experience, and I truly appreciate the effort she put into resolving our concerns.

Oct 17,2024Ship Smart was extremely responsive. Their pricing was clear and fair. Everyone I dealt with along the line kept their word. When I needed the chair picked up sooner than they had offered, they easily found a date and time that worked for me. I also had them crate my chair for protection and it arrived safe and sound

Oct 16,2024Absolutely miserable service. Paid for service up front and was assured they'd take care of getting an item from point A to point B. They increased prices halfway--basically, "if you want this delivered, pay us more money!" Additionally, they told me that we needed to hire ADDITIONAL customs brokering services--they only told us this after shipping the item, once the item was at the border--again, asking for more money to complete this. I talked to a customs broker who assured us their service was not necessary and we should be able to get the item through without any additional fees or permits. ShipSmart refused to take accountability and I spent hours on the phone with customs brokers, customs themselves, and ShipSmart just trying to get a piece of art I purchased online from Canada to the USA. They really just charged us obscene amounts of money, upping the ante at every opportunity, and at the end of the day caused more problems than solutions. I would have been better off to take time off work, drive to Canada, and drive back myself. I own a business in the USA, and frankly cannot believe that there are any businesses that operate like this one with such poor service and entirely lacking responsibility. Truly worse than worthless. Oh, and all of this took several months--I paid them more than $2600 USD over a month ago and STILL have not received the product!!!!!

Oct 09,2024Ship Smart was perfect for my needs of shipping a partial load cross-country. Very personal service unlike the big shippers. I also had to add in an additional piece of furniture after the packers had left. They were very responsive and accommodating.

Sep 25,2024The Smart Ship team helped me ship an antique Cannon! The project required residential pick up and delivery from New Jersey to Washington state. I was really pleased with the entire project especially the frequent communication all the way. Packaging, shipment tracking and delivery were excellent. I will ask Smart Ship to help with any special projects in the future.

Sep 11,2024Ship Smart people asked enough questions to accurately prepare for the shipment. I wasn't sure the packing was adequate for fine china, but the packers explained how it would be transported and I trusted them. Everything arrived in excellent shape, and ahead of the time they thought it might take. We were very pleased.

Jun 11,2024This was my first time in dealing with a packing/shipping company to pickup and deliver a piece of antique furniture (a buffet table) from Vancouver to NE Connecticut. The person we purchased the furniture from in Vancouver recommended your company. The communication was easy and uncomplicated. I was given clear instructions of what was required of me in order to pickup the piece, pack it, the customs forms Ineeded to complete and an update on the delivery at every step of the way. When it came time to set up the delivery, that was easy as well. The driver who unloaded the crate was very friendly and dropped it off as close to the porch as possible on the driveway. When we unboxed the crate, we could tell that extra care was taken by the way the furniture was carefully packed. There was a mirror which we were afraid it might break and the way the crate was packed, there was no way the mirror would get damaged. The estimate was probably more than the price we paid for the furniture but it was worth paying someone who took special care of it and we're glad we did. It was well worth it to us for peace of mind. Thank you again. P.S. I can't remember the date of delivery but I think it was in April.

Mar 29,2024Your company is amazing! From my very first interaction on the phone with your service rep the awesome experience began. Fast, efficient, friendly, seamless service. Had to move my senior parents from NY to my home in VA and arrangements needed to be made during a one week visit to help my mom care for my dad who had a serious fall. I was put in contact with your company, boxes picked up, all within the same week of my visit. The excellent service experience continued when I was contacted to arrange for my boxes to be delivered to their new home. The delivery staff were all great!!! I cannot thank your company enough for making a stressful situation very easy. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. What you do day in and day out is so very much appreciated.

Dec 16,2023All of your customer service folks were prompt and helpful as my antiques traveled from our home in AZ to my nephew's new home in Wisconsin. Everything was well wrapped and arrived together & undamaged. They followed up with him as it arrived and I was always kept in the 'loop.' You were referred to us by a large moving company for whom my shipment was too small.

Dec 15,2023From the start, everything went great. I was so apprehensive about getting this family heirloom shipped across the country. I even had to change the pickup location. Even with all of the particulars involved, all went smoothly. The delivery guys were super nice and communicative delivering during rush hour. I would recommend your service to everyone!
