From the booking to the crating Craters and Freighters was excellent to work with. It was my first time crating our fine art before a move and Kathryn walked me through each step. She was efficient and so lovely to work with. On the day of crating and moving, Chris and his team handled our pieces with care and truly put our minds at ease with their attention to detail and genuine love for the job. This company is awesome!
Wonderful team that followed up with me every step of the way. I purchased chairs at auction and needed them to pick up, pack and ship to me in CA. I am truly grateful for the white glove service. At first I thought it was very expensive but now....worth every penny. My amazing chairs were treated with excellent service. FIRST CLASS
These guys are true experts in international shipping & crate fabrication. I had to send a motor to Germany to be rebuilt, and the Crater & Freighters crew knew exactly how to build a crate that met all of the stringent EU regulations. They also made sure that the crate was properly tagged to show that the crate was fully compliant with the EU regs.Beyond designing/building the crate, the delivery to my shop was done in an incredibly professional, courteous, and friendly fashion. The driver even delivered my crate to an alternate location without hassle.This was my first time using Craters & Freighters. Their overall customer service really made me feel like they valued me as a customer - and makes me happy to recommend them highly to others
Very professional. Great communications. They will work with you to make sure that your specific needs are accommodated.
I recently purchased a painting at an area auction house and chose Craters & Freighters Raleigh to handle the shipment of the artwork from North Carolina to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Frankly, Ive never had such good follow up from a shipping company. At every step of the process I got an email and a call from their representative. When the work was packed I even got photos of the work before it was crated. The shippers they worked with here in New Mexico for the white glove delivery were also well chosen and professional. And then I got a call to make sure the delivery went well. That has never happened before! I would recommend Craters & Freighters Raleigh to anyone who needs to ship their artwork or other valuables. A great experience and wonderful service.
Our firm utilized Craters & Freighters Raleigh to collect works we purchased from a NC auction firm, take to C&F facility, crate them, and have them delivered to our gallery in upstate NY. The service, communication, crating and very advantageous pricing were all excellent. I would recommend them without hesitation!
My experience with Crater & Freighters Raleigh and at Bay Area Center is awesome came through picking up making the crates for my motorcycles and delivery to freight company to ship to Honolulu. This wasnt the 1st the time I use them about 6 months ago I also use them @ Bay Area Center service is excellent. Want to thank Kathryn Lennon and William Cannon for awesome service and hope to do more business with your company thank you and your team again :) :)
I couldnt have asked for a better company to deliver my precious items from an online auction. Everything was packed with such great care and attention to detail. Katherine was amazing.She guided me every step of the way as I had never done this sort of thing before.I highly recommend this company.They are wonderful.
We had several very valuable articles to ship from North Carolina to Austin, Texas! The shipment came very quickly and was packed VERY professionally! The driver was really helpful and assisted my husband in un-crating the items and getting them into the house. We highly recommend Craters & Freighters Raleigh! Jan Davis & Mitchell Kalogridis
Kathryn was great and worked hard to get the best cost to ship out my item to California. She really went the extra mile to help me. Mr Williiams did a fine job of packing and it made it to me undamaged and packed very well to insure it survive the trip here. The item is a very heavy and rare WW2 military radio with many somewhat fragile vacuum tubes and all survived.Excellent service and communications...highly recommend !!
Great customer service, easy to quote my paintings as well. I dropped them off, and they were wonderfully wrapped. Kathryn was very helpful and even checked in when the gallery across the country was unable to receive the packages. Shipping artwork is never cheap, but here you definitely get what you pay for.
Extremely professional. great communication and customer service. will definitely use for my large scale crating and shipping needs in the future
Nervous about how to safely ship 2 precious antique furniture pieces from Durham to St. Louis, I contacted at least 4 different shipping companies, and I knew right away when I spoke with Evan, and later other staff members that Id found my company. They were so caring and professional, returning calls and emails over a period of days, explaining the care they use in packing and shipping. Furniture arrived on predicted date, well wrapped, safe and sound! Very reasonably priced, too! Would definitively return to them for future shipping.
I just recently had to pack up to move to Hawaii from Raleigh. These guys saved me big time and made the process smooth and easy. Built me special crates for special pieces of furniture, custom boxing for some pieces, and I was able to relax and trust all my items were going to be just fine. I could not recommend these guys more. 5 stars are not enough!
They had live people on the phone. They showed up on time. They were exceedingly careful loading our items and they followed up on delivery. Their costs were at the top of the range but so was there service. We did not have our items crated so they did that.
We use Craters and Freighters Frequently for our company. We move very fragile and expensive items long distance pretty regularly and are always satisfied with their services. Good quality and the customer service is also top of the line. The few times we have had an issue it has quickly been resolved more than satisfactorily.
I would like to say that Kathryn had me sold on their service immediately. The price that was quoted for a very fragile piece of equipment to be picked up and shipped from NC to CA was fair and there were no hidden fees.Thank you
Excellent overall crating service! Competitive Bid, work performed to schedule and client requests observed...
World class shipper ! I am very satisfied with the service and attention ...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great experience. Best communication. Would use again and will highly recommend.
Evan, Kayla and Leo just completed a huge, complicated and delicate move for us. They were friendly, prompt, professional and very competitively priced. Better than competitive, though, they went above and beyond by specially wrapping some items. Cant say enough good things and would use them again in a heartbeat!
Great company to work with! Kathryn was a pleasure to deal with. Excellent communication and quick turn around.
Dear Kaylyn,Thank you for your wonderful work on getting both, the machine and parts, over in perfect condition.I was very impressed how well Craters & Freighters prepared the equipment and its parts for shipping and most impressive the shipping cost, you saved me over $1,000 compared to the other freight companies.As my company keeps growing I just hope I will need your services again.Best regards,Julio A.

Great experience working with everyone on their team!
These guys were easy to work with, and helped us get a product to a customer in Europe with little lead time. Very responsive to email and phone. Well-constructed crate and expertly packed to avoid damage in shipping. Will be doing business with them in the future.
Very helpful and informative office manager. The customer service was excellent and all my shipping and packing needs were met. I will definitely use this company again.
My experience with Craters and Freighters was one of extreme satisfaction. Explaining my health condition ( not being able to lift or move anything ) to Kaylyn, she immediately took control of my needs. She walked me through the reshipping process of a unit I could not use and was able to work with Border Patrol into Canada to return the item. I will never use another moving / shipping company. Craters and Freighters has everything one needs to get the job done....plus Craters and Freighters has Kaylyn.
Received painting good job crating thank you
I used Craters and Freighters Raleigh for a last minute pickup and they were fantastic - highly recommend.
Worked with Kaylyn to ship a small piece of machine tooling equipment (300 lbs, 16 cubic feet) x-country. There were some logistical challenges but Kaylyn stayed cool and worked through the issues. The crating was done well and the equipment arrived intact. Thanks gang.
Great experience to work with Kathryn! Very professional company.
Smooth, personalized, easy, and great service.I recommend them without a doubt.
Super fast service and delivery of the items needed. I appreciate all your help. Would use you again!
Highly processional business and would recommend this firm for any shipping needs.
I wish all my vendors were as good at what they do. Prompt reply to any questions, easy to work with and great service.
Excellent packing and shipping (including antique furniture). Great service and reasonable prices.
SLOW.Terrible communicationDamaged my shipment and did not take responsibility (even with insurance).More expensive than others.They were 3 days late picking up (they actually forgot about me). When they finally did pick it up and shipped it, they damaged it en-route and it took 2 days+ for every email to them to get a response back. It was a $900 mistake working with these guys. Never again.
Wonderful communication, professionalism and sound work!
Great Job!
They were quick and did a great job crating my expensive, heavy stuff for transit!
My name is Harold Mckinley, Im not the best at this but I do know to just speak from the heart. Craters and Freighters are the best company to work for and do business with. Great people and a great experience. I had the luxury to work for this company and all I have to say is great things. To be able to experience a company to not only treat you like an employee but also treat you like family is something I will always hold deep. The Raleigh and Charlotte location was great to work for. Evan, Katie Mr. John, Rick, Justin, D, Ben, Rodney,Kailyn and Ashton. I left out some names. But from the heart Thank You. Please excuse the typos..
