We engaged MTF Melbourne to handle our imports and redeliveries after our existing provider deemed our specialised goods too difficult for them to handle. MTF have been nothing short of fantastic to deal with, from the admin & sales staff, through to the logistics team, everybody is a pleasure to deal with, friendly and efficient, and make the entire process a breeze, all at reasonable rates.
