I have used Powerhouse for logistics requirements both internationally and domestically over the last 15 years, including during Covid, and each time those shipments have been delivered on time, in excellent condition and at a very competitive rate. They are extremely good at what they do. I must pay particular tribute to Martin Surm at Powerhouse, who has demonstrated first class knowledge and expertise to assist with some very challenging jobs around the world and has gone above and beyond every time.

We were new to Importing during the height of Covid. Powerhouse we’re the only agents to respond to our inquiry and did so promptly. Their communication is always efficient and accurate. We have been using them regularly since 2020 and will continue to do so. Duncan and team have gone above and beyond just importing by helping us find storage containers and answering our 3PL inquiries.
