– The staff at King Bros. was professional, speedy and super friendly! I had no clue what I was doing with my first shipment and they were able to take care of me at the last minute. I would not hesitate to use them again in a heart beat. Thank you very much, top notch!
Stacie Wilson– I had the distinct pleasure of working with Simon at King Bros to import a new sailing yacht from the UK, and a follow on shipment of other warranty items to complete it. This was a high value and complex shipment with multiple carriers, time zones, clearances and all mid-winter during COVID. King Bros. made the process almost effortless for me, guiding me through every step carefully, keeping me fully informed and responding to my requests very promptly. I have rarely been able to give such an unequivocally enthusiastic review of a service business, or any business, than this. Bravo!
