Craig S, Ole Cocktail Company Inc., Calgary, AB - Feb 18, 2025

What JORI Logistics is offering right now is fantastic. I value knowing that if there are issues, JORI will be proactive in reaching out to us and that we can rely on JORI’s expertise. With JORI handling our clearances, that’s one less thing I have to worry about. JORI is providing a different level of service compared to other brokers that didn’t provide any guidance or strategic advice in terms of what was coming up. Bernadette and JORI were very proactive in letting us know about some changes to some of the regulatory clearances for food products.

I value the ease of using JORI Logistics; its just like clockwork. They know our process, and its nice to continue doing what we’re doing and know that with JORI, everything will get done. JORI needs to make sure they’ve got coverage if staff are on vacation or if it isn’t the usual person we deal with. Recently, Brenda and then Raymond reached out to us on the Trump tariff issues, and told us about something specific we should have a look at which shows that JORI really cares. If there was a tariff, JORI would pay it and then we’d figure it all out.

JORI Logistics’ promptness, and the customer service Leonora provides are what I value the most. With her, I’ve made an actual friend, and I value that personal relationship. Day to day, Leonora is on top of everything. She gives me updates at the end of every day on all the shipments she’s working on for me. It’s amazing customer service. I always have a response within 24 hrs on ocean freight, and with other shipments it’s within 2 hours.

JORI Logistics provides effective, efficient service and guidance. We will have a new traffic lane opening up in Vancouver and plan to use JORI for that. But we need faster response times on the billing side. Harprit is an excellent customs CSR. She jumps to the pump to get things done efficiently, effectively, concisely and clearly. Typically we’re doing all importing with JORI. I value their personal communication.

With JORI Logistics, it’s just 1 call. We don’t have to call 5 or 6 carriers and figure out pricing or delivery. JORI handles everything for us. Better communication would be an improvement; communication on delivery times is key. If we send a request for a quote, I’d like a response in a couple hours not 2-3 days. I would absolutely recommended JORI. JORI has made things a little easier for us.
