Bobbie W, Thruster Energy Corp DBA TEC, Red Deer, AB - Aug 21, 2019

I brought Thruster to JORI because of the service that I had with their Freight CSR, Gary, and he asked if Brett could handle my account. Gary has done a great job in the past, and now Brett is also doing a great job. It is the relationship with JORI staff that is so valuable. They have provided a consistent customer experience.

Jeffery P, Cardtronics Canada ATM Management Partnership , Calgary, AB - Aug 20, 2019

Having a company that will follow-up and be diligent is not easy. JORI does it and it is of significant value. Their response and follow-up is done in a timely manner. It is a hectic world and in my mind, technology has not necessarily make things easier and more convenient. It has made people more demanding and service more difficult to deliver. People get angry when they don’t get their stuff. We have been with JORI for many, many years and their service works.

Darryl D, Definitive Optimization Ltd, Red Deer, AB - Jul 30, 2019

Anything going International, we used JORI. They are fantastic to deal with. If we have concerns they are swift with their responses and accurate with the information they provide. We are asking them questions and they get the answer. What I value the most is that I can send one email and get my product from here to there. It can go across international borders and all I have to do is send one email. I don’t have to go to three places to make it happen.

JORI’s Freight CSR, Jackie, is always willing to help. With Jackie, there are no time boundaries. If we need help at night or on the weekend, she is available.

Beth F, Guardian Veterinary Centre Limited , Edmonton, AB - Jul 30, 2019

JORI’s Customs CSR, Sarah, is super great. She gets back to us very efficiently. We have some vet products that are difficult to determine but she does the research as best she can before she talks with us. We have temperature sensitive biologics, chemo drugs and blood based products. It cannot freeze and it cannot get warm. What is really important to us is JORI’s efficiency, responsiveness and knowledge delivered in a proactive manner. I would recommend them because we have had zero issues with them.
