International & Domestic Shipping Success Stories
Read firsthand from our satisfied clients about their experiences with IOR Direct Solutions shipping services.
I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the outstanding service provided by two of your team members, Luna and Andrea.
I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the outstanding service provided by two of your team members, Luna and Andrea. Andrea expertly managed my client’s shipments, ensuring a seamless transition from port to destination without a hitch. Luna faced an exceptionally challenging situation that was far from ideal for anyone involved. Nevertheless, she went above and beyond by assisting me and my client during the weekends, keeping me updated with all relevant information—whether it was good, bad, or downright difficult—throughout the entire process of the project. Thanks to their efforts, we successfully completed this task for one of my largest clients.
I firmly believe in recognizing hard work and exceptional performance, and it’s clear that you have some true stars on your team. Thank you once again!

Just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to everyone involved—you’ve got an awesome team!
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say that EVERYONE on your team has really come together to help me with this Brazil nightmare order. There were so many issues on the customer side, and I ended up putting your group through a lot—both domestically and internationally. But we finally got it all sorted out, and Maria helped get everything scheduled for pickup today. Just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to everyone involved—you’ve got an awesome team!

IOR Direct Solutions has a top notch staff, friendly, and responsive. I recommend them over any other global logistics company around.
We have been partnered with IOR Direct Solutions for the past three years. Their response time, pricing, and services is one of the best in the industry. Many times we have complicated shipments that require special permits or are in remote areas and they come through every time. Their online portal is also very easy to use for sending messages, tracking and printing the necessary shipment documentation.

Angelica at IOR Direct quickly understood our lack of experience and got everything sorted out right away
I will be honest, we were completely lost on how to get our goods into LATAM after two previous shipments got stuck in customs. We didn’t know the first thing about importing or shipping. Thankfully, we were referred to IOR Direct Solutions Inc. Angelica at IOR Direct quickly understood our lack of experience and got everything sorted out right away. She not only walked us through the process but also made it a great learning experience! What could have been a disaster went off without a hitch, all thanks to Angelica. If you ever need to ship products anywhere in the world, I highly recommend contacting IOR Direct Solutions Inc.

Thanks to her relentless efforts and constant communication, what seemed like an impossible task was actually accomplished!
I want to give a huge shoutout, Luna G. We’re a national/international awards company specializing in plaques, trophies, acrylics, medals, and more—covering everything from corporate awards to major sporting events. Recently, we hit a snag with a rather large shipment for one of our major customers. One of our shipments got stuck in a customs, which, as we know from past experience, can cause a significant delay.
That’s when Luna stepped in, she is an absolute rockstar. She stayed on top of this shipment, providing updates almost daily and keeping me in the loop every step of the way. Thanks to her relentless efforts and constant communication, what seemed like an impossible task was actually accomplished! I work with a lot of logistics folks, but I’ve NEVER encountered anyone as dedicated and passionate about their job and customer care as Luna and the IOR Direct customer service team. I just want you to know how much our company appreciates all the hard work.

You guys always make shipping into LATAM so smooth!
You all are definitely the miracle workers!!! … Thanks so much for the extensive efforts. We had been burned pretty bad by our previous IOR company, and weren’t sure we should trust again. We found IOR direct and they took care of EVERYTHING. We know shipping to LATAM isn’t always easy, and this shipment by no means was but, IOR Direct made it so seamless. You sure did a wonderful job of handling this US to Brazil shipment for us. You guys always make shipping into LATAM so smooth!

We turned to IOR Direct Solutions’ Miami office, and they exceeded our expectations.
A few months ago, we reached out to IOR Direct Solutions for quotes on a few international shipments to LATAM (Argentina, Chile, Brazil). After receiving several quotes, we decided to go with a competitor whose cost was slightly lower than IOR Direct’s offer. Unfortunately, from the moment the competitor took over our shipments, it turned into a nightmare.
We faced major communication issues, and the costs kept changing drastically. While we understand that costs can vary, the difference between the initial quote and the final charges was significant. We also had serious concerns about the reliability of the information we were getting. To avoid further delays and escalating costs, we decided to take back control of our cargo.
That’s when we turned to IOR Direct Solutions’ Miami office, and they exceeded our expectations. They did an outstanding job of expediting material to a critical job site in Chile that was already behind schedule—a task we know is no small feat. They got us back on track with our additional shipments into LATAM and were fully transparent every step of the way. I can’t imagine how this project would have turned out if we hadn’t made the switch to IOR before the cargo took flight.
IOR Direct Solutions has proven to us that their value proposition is tremendous and well worth the cost. Thanks to the great support, trade knowledge, and professionalism of your team, we are now finalizing negotiations to move an anticipated 50,000 pallets through Miami International Airport to our LATAM job sites in the coming year.

You all make our work so much easier, and it doesn’t go unnoticed.
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to the entire IOR Direct team. They’re always quick to respond and get everything we ask of them done efficiently. We have some suppliers that can be a little less than easy to work with, which makes it all the more appreciated when we receive such outstanding service from your team. A big shoutout to everyone I’ve worked with so far—especially Jose and Laura. You all make our work so much easier, and it doesn’t go unnoticed.

This level of customer service was amazing, and the fact that she kept me in the loop the whole time gave me real peace of mind.
I have to give a shoutout to Maria this morning. We’re based in Georgia, and per our customer’s request, we used IOR Direct Solutions to pick up and deliver two boxes to a customer in Australia. I just wanted someone at your company to know that Maria kept us constantly updated on the whereabouts of these packages, any delays, etc. On Friday, I even got an email from her confirming that all boxes had been delivered (though one was delayed). This level of customer service was amazing, and the fact that she kept me in the loop the whole time gave me real peace of mind. I handle all the shipments here at our office, and Maria is the only person, across all carriers I’ve worked with, who’s gone out of their way to make a delivery truly ‘worry-free.’ She had this shipment on her radar the whole time and always kept me informed until it reached its destination. Thank you! I’ve also let our account in Australia know how awesome she’s been, so they know they have a great partner with IOR Direct Solutions! Thanks again!

Hey Alex, I know people usually reach out when things go wrong, but I wanted to switch it up and give some much-deserved praise. I’ve been working with Wil on a few of our recent domestic shipments, and honestly—she’s been amazing! She’s quick to respond, super detail-oriented, and has made the whole process a breeze.
It’s clear that Wil is really dedicated to doing a great job, and it’s so refreshing to work with someone who truly puts the customer first. I know that kind of commitment starts at the top, so I wanted to give a shoutout to you and the whole team.
Thanks again for the awesome service. It’s been great working with you all, and I’m looking forward to keeping this partnership going strong!

Whenever we will need to import/export anything from heavy machinery to the smallest part we will definitely be turning to IOR Direct!! Thanks again!!
I want to take a moment to express my appreciation to your team for their outstanding support with our recent shipment to Mexico, which included a variety of equipment that was successfully delivered today.
A special shoutout goes to the IOR Direct team, and especially to Angelica, the COO! This shipment was initiated by my coworker back in 11 months ago, but despite our efforts, we had no luck getting it to our location while working with a different IOR. Our manufacturing plant was starting to suffer production loss without this crucial equipment.
After almost a full year of frustrations, we finally reached out to IOR Direct Solutions, Angelica stepped in with her expertise in customs clearance for both Mexico and the US. She took the initiative, coordinated with the vendor, and worked closely with IOR Direct Solutions’ internal team to save our company both time and money.
Without her efforts, we would have been facing additional costs in the thousands on top of what we had already spent to release the cargo stuck in Mexico. Angelica gave this shipment special attention, closely monitoring the entire process to ensure everything went smoothly. Thanks to her dedication, the shipment arrived at our plant today.
I can’t thank you enough for all your help with this. Whenever we will need to import/export anything from heavy machinery to the smallest part we will definitely be turning to IOR Direct!! Thanks again!!

Joe was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. He managed multiple personnel and tasks, keeping everyone in the loop.
Just wanted to let you know that the shipment you handled for us cleared customs in Qatar and was delivered earlier today. Joe was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. He managed multiple personnel and tasks, keeping everyone in the loop. Our team—from our Operations Coordinator to our Director of Operations—has nothing but great things to say about him. He was working with our West Coast team well after 5 PM EST, and his communication via email and phone was top-notch, especially with this sensitive shipment. We’re all really happy working with you, and we’re looking forward to more shipments in the future. If you ever need a reference for any clients, I’d be more than happy to give one. We’re really grateful that we got connected with IOR Direct Solutions.

Thanks to Jose’s dedication, we were able to ship them out on Friday instead of having to wait until Monday.
I just wanted to give a big shoutout to Jose for going above and beyond last week. He stayed in the office until after 6:30 on Friday, making sure my documents were scanned into the portal. We had two critical shipments that our client in Australia urgently needed, and thanks to Jose’s dedication, we were able to ship them out on Friday instead of having to wait until Monday.
Jose, your commitment and hard work didn’t go unnoticed—thank you so much! Keep up the fantastic work

Everything went off without a hitch, and my products were accepted at Amazon with no issues.
As a new Amazon Seller, I brought on IOR Direct Solutions to handle shipping from Shenzhen, China to Dallas, TX. From start to finish, the service has been absolutely fantastic. They unloaded the container at their warehouse, sorted, and repalletized everything for Amazon. Luna, my contact, was always quick to answer my questions and was super helpful—nothing was too much trouble. She kept me updated every step of the way. Everything went off without a hitch, and my products were accepted at Amazon with no issues. I’ll definitely be using IOR Direct Solutions for my next shipment and highly recommend them to anyone needing to ship goods around the world.
