CANegligent and Unprofessional Email support alternates between slow and completely unresponsive, and there is no way to reach someone by phone. Web portal and chat is buggy and poorly designed. Since their platform is online and requires a degree of autonomy from the user, I thought this could be a faster, cheaper solution to traditional customs brokers. I set up a trial order, submitted all documents and waited for their team to complete document review and account verification. Over the following days, I was asked to complete the same tasks and submit the same documents multiple times, then waiting periods of 12 hours at times before receiving email replies to simple questions. After 5 (business) days of this, I was fed up and contacted a conventional broker (Livingston International). They were polite, communicative, and efficient. It took them only 6 hours to complete new client onboarding, account verification, and document review. Again, ClearIt failed to complete these simple tasks over 5 days. I should note that a few of the individuals I communicated with at ClearIt did seem professional, and most (but not all) of my grievances were caused by the negligence of a customer support rep named Leo. I requested the contact information of a manager so that I could file this complaint internally instead of porting it publicly like this but I did not receive contact information of any manager. If a manager at ClearIt happens to read this, I invite you to review the email history between my company and this agent, and I believe you will see my criticism is fair.

GBEverything went smoothly and quickly, but feedback is sparse. Everything went smoothly and quickly. As a first time cross boarder shipper, that was key. What could have been improved was the sharing documentation with me, as all I got was an invoice that said everything was fine. Actually seeing the documents that were sent to customs and the trucking company would have gave me more confidence in the process.

GBPerfect! First time importing equipment from overseas. We had completely overlooked the need to get the item cleared by Customs until it had arrived. Clearit made the process super simple and very fast. The only thing that would have made this better would have been a 10-minute introductory call with someone who could answer our initial questions and help guide us. I mean, ultimately, we ended up with our clearance in under 3 hours, but it still would have made that initial wait far less stressful to be able to speak with someone.

GBThey made things very easy and… They made things very easy and understandable for a company that has never done anything like this before. I am not sure why everyone doesn't use them. They should get 10 Stars.

GBAs a first-time private individual cross board shipment As a first-time, private individual, many of the terms used in the online document requests are unfamiliar. Plus, one has to provide tax ID numbers and power of attorney. So, high risk identity information, plus the unfamiliar terms for shipping documents make the process scary. The potential for errors is high, along with costs and time delay. There was no information to guide first time users. In the end, my shipment arrived as expected.
