Vector Global Logistics handles all of our freight and logistic needs. Anything from small loads on crates within the US, to long overseas full container loads. They are the best in the business, and we wouldn’t be as successful as we are without them. They are a respectful, hardworking, efficient group that not only takes care of us, but they also take care of our customers and that goes a long way. Thanks for everything the Vector team does!
He tenido la oportunidad de trabajar con VGL por ya casi un año y durante este tiempo, jamás he presentado problemas operacionales y/o administrativos. Al tener un Customer Service 24/7 siempre estoy seguro que mi embarque estará siendo monitoreado y en caso de presentarse algún inconveniente, se me estará notificando en ese momento, sin necesidad de que yo tenga que dar seguimiento. En lo personal los considero mi opción #1 para movimientos aéreos.
We have enjoyed working with Vector Global Logistics for a number of years now. They are our premier shipper for our cargo going to Africa. In our experience, Vector provides outstanding service and very competitive pricing. We have found them easy to work with and, in a spirit of true partnership, understanding of special needs and situations that may arise from time to time. We view them as an integral part of our operation and find they add value to what we do.
He trabajado con varios Freight Forwarders desde hace 25 años y ustedes, Vector, han sido los que mejor resultados me ha dado. Si tuviera que calificarlos yo diría: Muy bien en todo lo que hasta este momento hemos logrado. Espero que este año 2020 pueda pasar muchas de mis cargas a ustedes y podamos seguir trabajando juntos. Agradezco nuevamente de parte mía y de todo mi equipo.
Vector always responds to my many requests quickly and in a friendly, professional manner. They are a great asset and I really enjoy working with them.
I am confident that my agent Vector has the best interest for our organization in mind, I trust I am getting a fair rate, I feel comfortable asking difficult questions and requesting challenging quotes. I feel emboldened to push my organization to expand their vision for our meal packaging events knowing I have Vector on my team to execute the shipment.
Vector is always there at the right time. Working with Vector Global logistics is the best thing. Speed, determination, know-how and above all, real-time route information are assets of your company. I am more than satisfied with your service. Excuse me for my very limited English to express the joy of working with your company and especially the speed of customer service. From now on we want all of our containers coming to my country sent via Vector Global.
Vector Global has been a true partner for us, not only helping with core shipments, but also taking a genuine interest in our work.
Vector Global Logistics is our go-to worldwide shipping and logistics company. They provide exceptional customer service, very competitive pricing and are dependable as well as personable, all on a global level.
You and your group will never be a letdown. My motivations are very simple, and they are centered around everything out outlined. I deal with enough people who do not have invested interest in the customer, or us, for that matter. Everyone wants to shout “partnership” but very few want to live out that meaning. When I find someone (or a company) that are genuine in their efforts I stick with them. So many people don’t understand the value of doing the right thing because they don’t see the inverse ramifications when they don’t. They don’t get the leads, referred to business, or spoken about in a positive light. And they show up to work simply believing that retaining the work they were brought on to manage is simply enough. Vector has always done extremely well by us and will continue to get our bid when it’s available.
Trabajar a la par con Vector Global Logistic es para nuestra empresa una estrategia clave en nuestro plan de negocio, nos ha abierto las puertas para prestar nuestros servicios a grandes empresas y han representado una parte importante de nuestro crecimiento, su equipo de colaboradores nos ha brindado la mejor atención y siempre están atentos a los embarques que en conjunto coordinamos.
Vector acts with integrity, honesty and professionalism always. They have an unwavering vision of mutual benefit that transcends just being focused on profit margins, and more so on supporting NGOs achieve their humanitarian and development goals. A lot of times during all the chaos, Vector can be depended on to mitigate challenges and achieve favorable results.
Ser nuevo en una empresa y conocer su operación en ocasiones no es fácil, pero desde un inicio el equipo de Vector se mostró abierto y colaborativo, se interesaron en tener una conversación directa para conocerme y ganar confianza entre las dos partes, cualquier duda o pregunta siempre fue respondida y han sido un gran apoyo para el cargo que desempeño.
In working with Vector Global Logistics for the past six months, I have found the team to be courteous, professional, and very responsive. Even when unforeseen issues arise with customs or at a shipment’s destination, Vector promptly researches those issues and provides updates in a timely manner.
I have been working with Vector since our company has transitioned to a new freight forwarder a year ago. Transitions often create difficulties due to onboarding new procedures, developing new business relationships and generating new B2B Operations cadence. Vector made this transition smooth due to their super communication skills and dedication to our Account. I have been very impressed with our developing relationship where we both modify our practices to evolve a better working relationship that benefits both parties.
Vector is consummate professional. All communications are prompt and concise while providing a high level of customer support. My interactions with Vector have been friendly and professional and they go the extra mile to get the job done and provide the best information to the customer.
Vector is very professional, always a pleasure to work with, always quick to respond and willing to help out in any way.
Vector Global is the broker for shipments coming from our Malaysia facility to the States. When I am in need of ETA for a container, I email them with the pertinent information. They have always returned my emails in a timely matter with the information I need. This is very important, as I am the customer service representative and it is critical that I get shipment information to my customers.
My father is very excited and one step closer to his dream, to establish a hospital with cardiac surgery services. Many thanks to Vector, who so tirelessly and generously worked around the clock to make this happen. God bless you all and reward you for each patient who gets healed in this hospital.
Working with Vector Global Logistics for over four years now has been an absolute pleasure for our company. There always seems to be not only one, but many Vector employees available to assist with any quotes or issues. These employees are always upbeat, excited and dedicated about their work and the logistics industry and, in turn, encourages our company to mirror this approach to logistics! We will be working with Vector Global Logistics for many years to come and recommend them to any business looking to create a more sharp and efficient supply chain!

To me changing the world means first changing your heart for good so you can help others. Making a difference whether it’s big or small for the greater good of humanity. Changing the world means to be egoless in your giving and the love you spread to others. Not seeing color but seeing equality when you look at your fellow peer. Changing the world means to make someone smile one day at a time no matter how hard they try to frown.
Vector’s mission is helping me understand the importance of getting stuff done and making the world a better place at the same time. I am more enthusiastic about my personal goals and bettering my family because I live by this everyday with Vector. Vector’s values really help me learn how to empower others and accept togetherness.

For me, changing the world means generating an impact in it, doing something that changes the methodology or routine to which we are used to. How is this accomplished? The answer is thinking outside the box, if we all have the same thought it is very difficult to generate a new idea or a new impact, it is not easy, but if we spend a little of our time even if it is only 5 min to find something that maybe we are lacking off as an individual, as people, society, etc. We will put each other on the right track, the beginning to devise a plan that will take us to a new goal, a new mindset that hopefully will lead us to a new end, a new world and by doing this we will create an impact in the world.

Changing the world meaning:
I think that changing the world is something fundamental and that, we, as human beings, should continuously look for the good, even if it is a small change or a big one. I think that everything counts and I am aware that a single individual cannot change the world, but one individual can cause a positive impact on their social environment, and this social environment can do it in a larger one, thus arriving all together to a positive change that can have a worldwide impact, I believe that we live in times when creating an effect of change has become something every time more necessary since we live in a time that changes are so rapid that sometimes it may seem challenging to identify what is right however if we look for the common good and social good I think it will be there where we find the answer that is what it is correct and what should motivate us to change the world and how we should do it.
How is Vector helping you change the world?
I think Vector has helped me to achieve this because of his very unique culture, and because of all of the people that we work here, I think everybody has something to transmit to everybody, it can be professional knowledge or even life experience on how to react to the different situations that we all live in our professionals and personal life, and also I think that Vector creates a lot of impact with some of the programs that we have such as supporting the meals projects in Africa or the School for the kids with special needs in Chile and also like Canica in Mexico. That’s something I have always loved from Vector because I want those projects I look into the future and I hope I can contribute to the company to continue growing up and in the future, we can have more projects that help the society.

I know it’s not possible to turn around the world from one day to another, but I believe great things are achieved by a lot of small decisions and people trying to be better.

For me, changing the world means not looking away when taking action can make a difference in someone’s life. It’s being compassionate and caring and mindful of our words. It’s lifting up individuals and communities in times of need and being someone whom people can always rely on. In a society largely focused on self-centered gratification, we can give selflessly to others and in doing so fulfill our souls far more than any material possessions ever can.

We had to contract a warehouse in Savannah to trans-load, store, re-palletize on heat treated certified pallets, and load out 5 containers destined for Africa. All while keeping track of piece counts and inventory. This shipment was challenging and lasted for over 3 months but we coordinated it with all the different parties and vendors and the end result was 2 separate shipments that departed on time.
