Good service for general cargo to Poland. The DDP handling meant our client didn't have to deal with any customs formalities, which is exactly the point. One of the four cartons had a minor dent on the outer box — contents were fine — but I'm noting it because packaging could be a touch more robust. Overall a positive experience and we'd book again.
