Hi Christina,

Wow this is a relief and amazing news. Thank you so much for your email and most of all I want to thank you for all your great work in assisting me with this personal and important matter. You and your team are great and I will recommend you and your company to everyone in need. If I can help you with anything by for example writing a letter of reference, then I will be very pleased to do that.
I spoke to Sam from Holland after my last meeting at 16.40 today and he confirmed all is good too now. Awesomeness!

I am happy I was able to send all so quickly this morning and that you handled all so well and with an urgent priority.

I will let you know when all is delivered by me next week.

Wishing you a lekker weekend ahead.

Kindest regards from Holland! Boy

Good day Mr Britz. Next week I turn 81. Of that time I spent 40 years in the service industry (commercial banking).

My son migrated to Australia last month and left me with a huge bundle of unaccompanied luggage. Had it not been for your Melissa Otto I would have thrown the towel in a long time ago! Say no more.

You are very fortunate to have Melissa as a member of your staff. She is a friendly, efficient, patient, willing person. Very helpful and polite. I would have loved to have had her on my staff.

Please give her a pat on the back. Thank you.

Dear Nicole, Gabriela, Kevin and the U-bag team

Trust this email finds you well.

We cleared and collected our consignment on the 7th June using a local clearing agent.

I meant to write earlier to thank you all for your very professional service; we sincerely appreciated the courtesy extended during our engagement. Our experience was very positive - from the speedy booking process and competitive solution offering, your empathy to the circumstances (with our needing the consignment held longer) to the responsiveness of the entire team.

We will be happy to recommend the South Africa team/U-Bag to potential clients.

Wishing everyone the best - stay safe and well.

Warm regards

Good morning Nicole!

After much phoning and the guys in customs just being general (but necessary) pains in the butt, my goodies came home last Monday night and I got busy.

This is to thank everyone for your outstanding service and support from the first inquiry I made in SA to being so flexible and helpful during all my changes, to collection (2x) and wrapping on your side (nothing broke) and the final support.

I love you guys at U-bag and you have a client forever!

Wishing you all a brilliant week!

Attention: MD and Operations Head

I would like to take this opportunity to bring to your attention the excellent service that I received from Kevin Smal.

In summary, there was a portion of a quoted assignment that was not shipped and I was dealing with Kevin to have the matter resolved.

Although the turnaround on the decision was slow (no fault of Kevin's, but rather a decision on the escalating to Management) Kevin fully understood and attended to the Customers needs.

The finally arrived yesterday, intact, and wrapped as instructed to Kevin.

SInce immigrating to Ireland, our return trips to South Africa always result in us shipping goods with U-bag. In the10 years that we have been gone I can't tell you how many people we have recommended use of your services to.

The resolution of this current matter really showed that your Company will stand good for their Customers. That is really appreciated. We will continue to support and refer you wherever possible.

Let me also make mention of:
1. Your Receptionist who answers your switchboard - SO professional and speaks clearly.
2. Claire in Finance - again professional and helpful.
3. All the people in the background that worked tirelessly to get the delivery to me.

You are a good example of what South Africa still has going for itself. Keep it up!

Kindest regards

A very big THANK YOU for your kind and helpful assistance in sending off our excess baggage.

Dear Gabriela,


I hope this email finds you well and having a great week.

Gabriela I just wanted to share some feedback that we received from Cindy and Douglas Lacey recently. They used U-Bags for their excess luggage whilst in South Africa.

U-Bag – and in particular Gabriela – deserve kudos for jobs extremely well done. Our luggage was well taken care of while we were at the safari camps. And after experiencing some of the smaller flights between locales in Africa, we decided that it would be wise to have the luggage transported once again from Tsala to the Intercontinental Hotel – instead of trying to get it on the sardine can that Mango Airlines was flying (the plane was nice, but it was over-filled) from George to Johannesburg. Once again, this time on short notice and for an out of the way route, U-Bag came through with flying colors. The driver picked our baggage up Saturday and drove the 16 hours to Johannesburg to get it to the airport hotel before we arrived on our plane. It was a true life-saver for us.

Thanking you so much for the wonderful service you are providing for our guests and for always excelling at everything in every way, we really do appreciate it.

Hope you have a wonderful day further.

Kind Regards

Dear Justus


I would like to bring to your attention the great service that I had received from U bag and in particular the phenomenal Gabriela Miguel last week

Gabriella managed to get my clients baggage collected from her hotel in Barcelona with only an afternoons notice. I am aware that it usually takes up to 3 days to arrange a collection.

Due to the short notice everyone else was panicking as to whether the job would get done but Gabriela was calm and professional as she guided me (a first time user of U Bag) through the procedures.

We managed to get the clients baggage back to South Africa at a fraction of the cost. I have been singing U Bags praises to everyone I come across and hope I will have the pleasure of dealing with U Bag again in the future

Yours sincerely,

I recently sent a package to Australia that was too long to post. U-Bag patiently answered all my queries while I made up my mind how to send it. Their quote was much lower than a courier and several removal companies I approached and the box is sent by air rather than ship. Once the package was in U-Bag's hands things happened very quickly and I was kept fully informed of where the package was and how to collect it at its destination. Thanks U-Bag for great service.

Hi Michael,


Just to let you know I successfully collected my bags on Friday afternoon, after they landed that morning. I only had to pay approx ZAR 650 for the handling fee and customs charge, so was very happy..

Many thanks for all your help and your quick turn around in getting my things safely here. I will definitely recommend you and Ubag.

Much appreciated,

Dear Justus and team,


A super big thank you for the amazing service over the weekend and the week leading up to Polly's departure. As you know, Polly was found near death, with her legs tied together in the Kliprivier about 2 months ago. She was rescued by CLAW (Community Led Animal Welfare), whom have worked hard at rehabilitating her and getting her back to good health.

Pier Rush, a good friend of mine, based in Cape Town fell in love and had been following her story from the very beginning almost immediately having decided to adopt her. We've had quite a run around to try and get her to Cape Town, until I remembered that U Bag had an air division for domestic animals. From the word go, the service we've received from yourselves has been outstanding!

Thank you so much for your patience and expertise. It really has been a breeze dealing with yourselves and most importantly, Polly arrived safely in Cape Town at her forever home safe and sound...

I will definitely be in touch for any other dogs, we may need to fly and I will be singing your praises far and wide!!!

Good day


I would like to compliment you on a wonderful very helpful Gabriela Miguel. I was in a predicament as my son was finishing at Rhodes University and he had four years of goods that he had to bring home and as he was flying it was impossible. My daughter works for a travel agency told me about U-Bag. I sent the email on the website and it was minutes and Gabriela contacted me. From then on we have been liasing with regards the bags to Johannesburg. She has been extremely helpful and I appreciate all her help as unfortunately in this country service is a bad word there is no such thing as good service.


I feel I wanted to bring this to your attention as people always complain and never gives compliments and Gabriela is really an asset to your company. I have told many people about U-Bag (they were not aware of this service) and I will give them Gabriela's email address.

Once again thank you so much Gabriela and U-Bag.

I hope you all have a very Blessed Christmas and a Prosperous 2015.

"I contacted Ubag following horrendously expensive quotes from anyone else. At the point where I was going to give in and pay an exorbitant amount I found Ubag. They were extremely quick to give me a quote, their customer service is top-class and the level of professionalism throughout the company is exceptional!


I sent my package the same day as my flight. It landed in Cyprus 1 week later with no issues whatsoever.


Extremely smooth process and I would recommend them ANY DAY over anyone else for sending larger consignments anywhere.

Good day Justus,


You don’t know me, but I’m a very satisfied customer & would like to compliment you on the efficiency, helpfulness & friendliness of your staff, particularly one Gabriela Miguel. We were planning on relocating to Calgary, Canada (where I am mailing from), to join my youngest daughter & family to share time which has been lost over the past 13 years. This was a major decision, as it meant selling up all our worldly possessions in Cape Town. However, there were various trinkets & memorabilia which we felt strongly about taking with us & with this in mind, we contacted your firm to enquire as to how best & most economically to achieve this. We were fortunate to be referred to Gabriela, whom I found, not only to be extremely knowledgable, but also sympathetic to our cause & prepared to go the extra mile to make our transition as pleasant, cost effective & stress free as possible. I was on the blower to her on numerous occasions with queries & questions & she always had the time of day to answer & advise as if I was the most important person in the world. I would like to commend Gabriela for her thoughtfulness, professional attitude & assistance – if all service providers had people of this calibre in their employ, life would be that much more pleasant for all concerned. Please thank her for us & congratulate her on her exemplary performance. Good luck to you and your Company for the future & enjoy a blessed Christmas.

Kindest regards,

Sorry to have taken so long to write. Our suitcase arrived as we did, and the door to door delivery was excellent. The fact that your people secured it with straps was fantastic and everything arrived in one piece. Gaby, we could not have asked for better service, for which we thank you very much indeed. We will certainly be recommending you to friends who are planning similar transfers to the UK.

I want to thank you for helping arrange handling of our excess baggage.


The bags were waiting for us at Federal Air when we landed here in Joburg this afternoon, and it was extremely convenient.


The bags were in perfect condition, well protected with plastic wrap, and we found everything just as we left it.


Hoon ... thanks for recommending U-Bag. You were right ... this was perfect for our situation, where we wanted to leave some of our baggage behind while we went to Kruger.


Renier ... thanks for your help. This was just what we wanted, and everything was done professionally and per plan.


And ... we had a great time in Kruger. Just fantastic ...


Thanks to all,

Dear Sean,

I would like to take this opportunity to compliment you on the excellent service I have received from one of your staff members, namely, Johan Benade.

This is the 3rd time I have used U-Bag, and I have only had good service both from U-Bag in SA and your agents locally and overseas ( London and Dublin).

This time, from the moment I booked my bags with Johan, while I was away and now upon my return I have only had the best attention from Johan. All my emails were answered immediately and all my requests attended to with the utmost speed, efficiency and professionalism.

Johan is indeed an asset to your company and I do hope that he receives the recognition from Management that he deserves.

I will be returning overseas next year and will happily be using your services once again.

Thank you and best wishes,

Dear Simon,

I had boxes sent from Durban to Brisbane, Australia and I had nothing but outstanding service from Johan Benade. He answered all my questions and arranged the collection from my mother's house seamlessly.

Even with the time difference with me being in Australia, my e-mails were always answered within 24 hrs and sometimes minutes of being sent. He was a pleasure to deal with, my boxes arriving in record time.

It is based upon his excellent customer service that I would recommend U-Bag as a first option when needing to send anything overseas. Please ensure that he is duly recognized for such excellent service.

Both Doug and myself are very pleased with the professional service you and Sean have given us with both exports this month. It makes our very hectic job worth while, to have attention to detail and speedy response times which makes the difference in business today. We really appreciate it and look forward to using you again.

Hi Gabriela,

Just to let you know that Laura got all her boxes on Saturday right on time- no problems at customs or anything. All goods in perfect order and especially her desparately needed meds. Thank goodness for her Korean friend who went with her - it sounds like she would've gotten completely lost getting to the right building at the airport.

I want to convey our appreciation and thanks for all your help and the super efficient way that you and all at U-Bag handled the delivery. In particular I want to thank you for all your advice and showing that you care about your customers. Despite my many phone calls and spam email you continually responded quickly and always came back to us. This goes a long way to building customer relations and we would recommend U-Bag any time to prospective customers. So at any time if you need me to give a recommendation - you are most welcome to give me as a reference.

To whom it may concern,

I am writing this email to inform you of the commendable customer service I have just received from Lauren Reeks in South Africa.

I live in Vancouver Canada and my experience started two weeks ago, 21st of June 2010, when I contacted U-Bag's Johannesburg customer service at the following number +27 (0) 11 394 541. It was close to 11pm our time, just before 8am your time.

A little history before I go on, I had just been on the phone with my Mother in South Africa, who is immigrating to Vancouver Canada, she was in quite a state and very overwhelmed about how to ship her things to Canada. A friend of hers had told her about U-BAG, but she was too overwhelmed to know what to do next.

Anyway to continue, when I called the customer service desk in Johannesburg, a very friendly Lauren Reeks answered the phone. She tentatively listened to what I was requesting and empathised with my dilemma of not having anyone I could rely on to help me in South Africa. I also requested that I would initiate and be the contact person for the whole transaction. To me this was a tall order and I did not expect that it could even be organised this way from half way across the world. To my utter surprise, Lauren's friendly efficient manner calmed me immediately and she assured me that they would take special care to make sure that Mom's things would be taken care off and shipped accordingly. She started the process and sent me the paperwork immediately.

The long and short of it is that within 8 working days, with Lauren's due diligence and superb communication skills, my Mothers goods were picked up, weighed, invoice sent and after receiving payment were booked on a flight to leave South Africa on the 3rd of July.

I have to say that I have not experienced such commendable customer service in many years. I am especially surprised at this level of customer service from half way across the world with only one phone call and a hand full of emails. Lauren did not miss a beat, not even one, and kept me in the loop the whole way through. Her friendly efficient manner is something not often seen in taday's day and age anymore.

Thank You Lauren, I will forever be in your debt. U-BAG is lucky to have you on their team.

Dear Justus,

I am finally getting around to thank you for the excellent service rendered for my shipment from South Korea. I would like to also thank the agent in South Korea who was also constantly in touch with me before collection of the bags. Not only did my shipment arrive intact, it was neatly wrapped and secured. The local courier company that delivered my bags to my door was very professional.

U-Bag will definitely be recommended anytime to family members and friends who would like to utilize international shipping.

Dear Simon,

I wanted to write to you to say how delighted I was with the U-bag service I employed during my relocation from UK to Singapore in June. In particular I wanted to mention Louise Austin in the London office whom I dealt with throughout. I don't know if as a Company you have an "employee of the month" award but if so I would like to nominate Louise for this please.

I was remarkably disorganised with my move, but Louise organised the paperwork and all of the forms within 24 hours of my online booking and within 4 days of initially submitting the order my bags were collected from home! I phoned her with so many questions in the 48 hours before collection, and she truly had the patience of a saint! She always phoned me back when she promised to, right down to calling me before I left the country to reassure me that my bags had made it to her and confirm the total to pay. On arrival in Singapore she sent me all of the flight details and the contact phone number at this end, and my bags were with me within a week of them being collected from home, and at the price I paid I firmly believe it was value for money.

In an age where I feel customer service is truly dying, I felt compelled to write to you as my whole experience with U-Bag was so incredible, and I would highly recommend the company to anyone else relocating abroad. I would have emailed much sooner but my first few weeks here in Singapore have been truly crazy.

Thank you for your time,

Dear Sirs,

Thank you very much for the outstanding service received from yourselves. The professional reception and service on Monday morning in your Johannesburg office and the confirmations immediately received as well as the fact that the suitcase was delivered to our son’s house in Sutton Surrey on Wednesday afternoon, 2 days later, was really service with a smile. Thanks very much indeed.

Dear U-bag

Having had my first experience with U-bags, I wanted to share my experience with those who made it happen. I was really impressed by the service I got. I have requested a shipping of my boxes from South Africa to The Netherlands. My experience was fantastic from start to finish. They were effecient in delivering boxes in South Africa for the packing, effecient in collecting them and storing them until payment was received, put them on the first flight as soon as payment was received and delivered it to the destination on the same week. They gave a time indication and they did stick to that with a great degree of professionalism. The prices were also by far the cheapest. It is great value for money. I will recommend it to other people for sure.

Keep up the good work.

Dear Justice

I would like to compliment you on the service I received from Gerhard.

I called and arranged for him to send a box to the UK, but could not furnish the delivery address as I had not yet received it from my son. It took about a week to sort the address out. Gerhard called me a few times to remind me about the box. He was always courteous, well-mannered and well spoken. He really went to great lengths to ensure that the box would be on a flight last night (without compromising your company in any way) because I told him I would like my son to receive his box before the Easter weekend. Gerhard needs to be commended for the great level of customer service he provides on behalf of U-Bag.

Gena

I collected my bags on Friday, 4pm Perth time. There were no problems in getting the bags. Thanks for attaching the pre-filled customs forms and a copy of the passport that you got from me while I was there. It came in real handy as I didn't have to fill out the forms again, also as I went to collect the bags from work I did not take my passport to the customs house. so I showed the copy and that satisfied the customs guards. I had to pay the AU$60 to the Qantas Baggage handling company and they released the bags within 30mins.

Thanks for the assistance and great service

I wanted to thank you for the efficient and pleasant manner in which you arranged my trip to London. Most of all your recommendation of U-bag saved me a small fortune in excess baggage costs (I took approx 140 kgs with me!) and allowed me to bring along items to help my son and myself settle in and feel at home in a strange land for the time we are to be here and for this I am very grateful as I could not have afforded to this otherwise. I can strongly recommend their service as relaible and very efficient and I found Donovan who helped me very friendly, knowlegeable and well organised. Everything was trouble free and their door-to-door service is brilliant and stress free.

To Whom It May Concern,

I have recently taken on the responsibility of sending luggage to South Africa for a friend and have been worrying about it for well over two months now. My friend, to whom I'm sending the luggage, has had difficulty in communicating with me and this has created even more of a problem and less piece of mind. However, Gena stepped in and acted as a middle party and has taken control of the entire situation. She was in touch with the South African branch to get hold of all the necessary forms, she then contacted me with dates on when the goods can be collected and all the procedures which will take place and she has kept constant contact with me to reassure everything is going according to plan. Gena has taken all the responsibility from me and dealt with it so promptly and professionally that my first impression of your company is of the very highest standard.

In my line of work we constantly have people moving and I can assure you that, thanks to Gena, I will be referring all of them to U-Bag. She deserves every bit of recognition... Thanks Gena, job well done!!!
