I bought swimming pool fence from China, the seller quoted me FOB price, I found DIYI, I don’t have a company in the US, I couldn’t unload the shipment from the truck, in the end DIYI solved all the problems and made sure that I received the shipment safely, I am very satisfied with their work.
All packages received well. It's my first time to import, I was nervous at first but because you are guided here step by step, it will be easier for you to import.

We purchased a large product line from China to Poland, we and our three suppliers were very inexperienced in logistics, we didn’t know how to ship this large product line to Poland, one of the suppliers introduced us to DIYI, he gave us the best solution, when we received the goods it was a sight for sore eyes, very professionally packaged, no damage to the goods, we are very grateful to them.
Thankyou so much DY for another smooth transaction. Nareceive ko na ang mga samples ko. Ready to order na ng mas maraming quantity for bulk order.. Ang satisfying gamitin ng forwarder na ito lalo sa tulong ng mga Customer Service na napaka responsive and super accommodating. Until next transaction po! More power!
We ordered 26 tons of valves from China, due to the short delivery time, we had to change the shipping method from sea to air, but near Christmas, the airlines were very short of space, DIYI arranged from China for these goods to arrive in Vancouver successfully in 7 days, I think they are the best freight forwarder in China.
My company construction machinery and equipment agent in Davao, Philippines, all our shipping goods are handled by DIYI, they provided the professional solution and good price for our large construction, for example, Excavator and Crane,etc. Especially their rich experience for loading the goods in the Flat Rack and reinforcing the goods. We will keep the long good cooperation with them in the future.
