Those guys have offered me the best price for the service. My car has arrived on time, and I was always able to get in touch with no hassle and they informed me regularily. They have this great system where you can access your account all the time, just perfect for me

Promises of phone calls and a vehicle pick-up that day. Nothing happens. No call, no explanation, just hung out to dry on a day off. Every concern I had next day was met with deflection and excuses. People's time is valuable. Lets have mutual respect please.

Martin Transports Intl is dishonest and works with scumbags! Last March I paid Martin Transports Intl to transport both my car and boxes to Poland. When I went to drop off the boxes I was told there I would need to have them put into palettes and wrapped up, which ended up costing me a few hundred dollars more than expected since they charge per m3.

When I went to pick up the boxes in Poland I was shocked to discover the boxes had been removed from the palettes before they were shipped. Ado Gdynia, the company that did the import, showed me pictures of the boxes inside the boat (removed from palettes). When I emailed the company I was told Kasia (who took my order was on vacation and I had to wait a few weeks).

I waited until the end of the month and then called several times and sent more emails. Strangely they stopped being responsive and despite me having clear pictures showing my boxes were not put into palettes in the ship as I had clearly paid for, I never got a formal response or a refund. Just ripped off a few hundred dollars. Due to family reasons I had to return to California from Poland and decided to use Ado Gdynia as my exporter for 28 boxes in December/January 2019.

I had asked Jacek at Ado Gydnia over 10 times to please provide me with approximate total costs of shipping boxes back to Los Angeles. I specifically asked for both export and import costs. He sent me an initial price of about $1000 quote a few days before my boxes were to be picked up. After they were picked up, the price had jumped to about $1200 due to "higher than expected measurements".

I was ok with this since I was in a bind. Boxes were picked up Dec 21st, 2018. He then did not get me a detailed invoice (until Jan 3rd) despite my many pleas to getting one since my departure date was a week later. In the invoice it clearly stated these costs were for export only. I contacted Monday January 7th the importer (in this case Martin Transports Intl) to find out to my shock I would need to pay an extra $1300 for import/ warehouse fees. what a scam!

I was in a bind since my flight was leaving a few days later and Ado Gydnia had already taken my stuff. When I confronted Antje and Joanna about why they work with such scumbags and charge such high "service fees" they told me to go talk to Jacek at Ado Gynia, and had 0 interest in trying to help resolve this. When I asked Jacek he said Martin Transports Intl refused to provide him with any information about their fees.

Either Martin Transports Intl is a scumbag company or they work with scumbag companies. Future customers beware, this is a company that goes out of its way to rip off customers. Please note how Joanna who works at Martin Transports Intl. responded. 1. First part of my review was centered specifically around when I hired Martin Transports Intl. to be an exporter for my boxes from USA to Poland. Martin Transports Intl. charged me close to $300 for use of palettes which were then removed before my boxes were put on ships.

Here is another good example of how Martin Transports Intl. completely IGNORED my repeated requests to explain and refund me for something (palettes) which were never used for the transport. Joanna- why are you again ignoring this as you have for months and refuse to refund me for palettes that were never used? I have pictures from Ado Gydnia proving this, which I had sent you and Kasia several times. 2. Export/Import is called this for a reason.

Second part of my review was how they work with scumbag companies (same company that they picked for my importer to POLAND). Martin Transports Intl. ended up charging me a ridiculous amount of money. Maybe Martin Tranports Intt. not responsible for this per se, (despite what Jacek at Ado-Gydnia the exporter told me) but it is Martin Transports Intl.'s choice to work with such companies.

If you work with Martin Transport Intl. you will by default also work with the scumbag companies on the other side of export/import. 3. Joanna- I never even brought up my missing box (which was recovered on 3/5 after) in this review. Why is this relevant to respond to something not mentioned?

We have been shipping with Martin Transports for many years and they always take good care of us. I mostly work with Antje Kuhn and she is always responding immediately with all information we need. Their prices are very competitive and shipping times are extremely reasonable. We have never had any damage on any of our cars. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have been working with Martin Transports International, Inc. and directly with Joanna Sroka-Scholz to ship my car from California to Spain and she was most helpful and profesional. They delivered a great service and where able to answer all my questions and provide honest advice. This company is highly recommended.

Martin Transports aka MTI Shipping International in Carson, CA employee (Thomas) took 35 photos of my vehicle and sent to the buyer without my permission. (Thomas) persuaded the buyer named Westcoastbus, Bernhard Gerdes to walk away from the transaction and not pay me via wire transfer. Because of the actions of Martin Transport Employee, I lost a $12,500 deal.

In addition, Marin Transports tried to extort $50 extra from the transport company. Also, Martin Transport employees almost punched out the delivery guy for coming right before closing on Friday. Last but not least, when I called to voice my concerns about all these things, the gal on the phone at Martin Transports aka MTI Shipping International in Carson, CA hung up on me. This company is a total fail as far as I'm concerned.
