Reviews

"When I contacted CLN we were almost in a panic to have a package delivered to the UK before Christmas. Due to an oversight on our part we had less than a week to get our customer’s packages to the UK. We attempted to resolve this ourselves with no success. Once I contacted CLN I knew we were in good hands. Woody and team acted quickly to coordinate not only getting the packages on a flight but also arranged a courier in the UK to deliver the packages to the recipient’s residence so they would have their gifts prior to Christmas. Without the help of CLN our reputation would be permanently tarnished with our customer. We can’t say thank you enough for resolving our mistake and saving Christmas for our valued customer."

Leslie Mathews, Nordstrom

”We have been working with CLN for over 10 years – since the beginning of Polar Bear Coolers. They have a great team with perfect service, which allows us to focus on our business without the worry of any import hassles. CLN makes us feel like we are a top priority, which is why I never consider using another forwarder in a highly competitive marketplace."

Geoff Cole, Polar Bear Coolers

"CLN has been handling all of our global logistics since 2004. They have helped us ship cranes from every corner of the globe; from Brazil to Dubai. CLN has made a complex process much simpler for us."
