Testimonials

 

  • We consider the Ottawa Logistics team a development partner who has proven to be creative in problem resolution, reliable in time commitments, and overall consistent in meeting our expectations.

    Gerald Thornton - http://ltl.upsfreight.com/home/

  • Ottawa Logistics is doing a great job for us. We started using their services in early 2013 and we are pleased with the level of service they have provided us. They have worked with us all along to facilitate integration between our platform and theirs. We happen to be located in the same City but with the dedicated service we get, it would not matter if we were elsewhere. They can easily be reached by email or by phone. I recommend Ottawa Logistics to anyone looking for a reliable and fast fulfillment service company.

    Simon Létourneau

  • We have been working closely with O/L since January 2013 and we have yet to see a situation that was not dealt with in a fast, appropriate and professional manner. The ownership along with GM Denis Perron & Fern Perrier have been a joy to work with. The Ottawa Logistics team has proven in a short time that they are willing to go beyond and have assisted us in the “crunch” to get the job done. Well done O/L and please tell your team how much we value your services!

  • Each my interactions with the management and personnel at OL, from my initial contacts in 2012 (which included a personal visit to their facilities) to the present, have been extraordinary. Moreover, OL’s warehousing, fulfillment, and customer service has been virtually flawless since the beginning of our association with them in early 2013. Our business growth in Canada has exceeded our expectations. For our company, OL is the ideal partner.

  • As small business owners, we are very pleased with the services provided by Ottawa Logistics. When we started our business we had a limited level of experience relating to freight forwarding and warehousing. Developing a relationship with Ottawa Logistics has enabled us to concentrate on our core competencies, comfortable in the knowledge that our product is stored and shipped in an efficient manner.

    Sarah Fraser

  • Ottawa Logistics has been a great partner in helping us improve our shipments to locations across Canada. Prior to partnering with Ottawa Logistics we experienced costly shipping charges and long delays shipping from the US to Canada. Exceptional communication has been a refreshing change compared to other companies we have dealt with in the past. Thank you OL!
