I recently sent some items to Jamaica and after shipping I came to my attention that I had enclosed the wrong address and phone number on my account, I call transpak shipping and it was sorted out in no time, I even received calls and text messages out of office hours to keep me informed about the contact between Jamaica and the Uk . Excellent service thanks you guys very much, one very happy customer.
