L L Schrempf, Field Rubber Ltd, Auckland

Five star review

I changed to FPS after speaking to a colleague about my frustrations with my freight provider. I had a simple request that could not be met, poor communication and one point of contact.

With FPS, since day one my assigned account manager Anu, has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Fast, accurate and friendly – that’s how I would describe my experience.

From the first introduction onsite with the GM to the helpfulness of the warehouse staff, I could tell FPS had its company values right.
