Testimonials

"My experience with CASCO has been with CRUDEM {Center for Rural Development of Milot (Haiti)}. I was the laboratory consultant for the building and furnishing of a new lab there. They purchased and shipped many of the building supplies in FL, and they shipped with care all of the lab furniture, equipment and supplies which were purchased or donated for the new lab.

Not only do they offer all types of shipping arrangements, but they also offer purchasing services. Thus they can purchase items in Fort Lauderdale or environs and ship them directly. This is a great saving on transportation costs. The best part of it is that they see the transaction from portal to portal, taking care of customs and custody of cargo until the appointed parties pick up their cargo. No object is too big or too small because they have a railroad off loading dock.

They ship cars, trucks, buses, fire engines, ambulances, etc. as well as small packages of meds, lab reagents, etc. They can ship by air or container. Since 1998 we have used them with satisfaction. If you need more details of our experience, let me know."

“Contact Tony Marcelli at CASCO by email at info@ShipCasco.com and tell him what you are doing and what you want shipped and I’m sure he will do the best he can do to help. They are running a business, so they can’t give away their services but they are also very interested in helping those that are helping Haiti. They have done a good job for us.”

"We are very pleased with CASCO’s service through ease of contact, forwarding to Haiti, and accurate tracking of shipments. Your ability to act as our purchasing agent to buy equipment we need in Florida and forward it to Haiti has made supplying our hospital much easier. You have solved our former problems for shipments by ocean and air with safe and traceable shipping services."

"It was a pleasure to work with CASCO. Your friendly, courteous staff has a knack for easing the nerves of shippers not experienced in international shipments."

"For Haiti with Love and before that, the founder Don DeHart, struggled for YEARS trying to find an economical way to get cargo from the U.S. directly into Cap Haitien on the North Coast of Haiti.

Finally after many years, the airlines started servicing the north - but we quickly found that it was just too expensive to take in some things. You had to weigh the shipping charges against the overall value to a number of people to justify it.

CASCO to the rescue. Seems Tony Marcelli, having lived in Haiti for about the same number of years we had been struggling (maybe even more), just got tired of it. What was the answer? Start your own company, thus the birth of an idea to take cargo from Florida directly to Cap Haitien... just look up CASCO (Caribbean American Shipping Corp) to find all of your shipping needs answered.

"Thank you for the excellent service you gave us to get the container loaded at your dock in Ft. Lauderdale. Compared to what we have gone through previously, this was a dream trip!"

"I wanted to take this time to express not only to my appreciation but all of ours at Haiti Outreach Ministries for the outstanding job that CASCO does on getting our freight to Haiti.

We started using CASCO in July 2005, our shipments have been delivered on time and intact as their door to door delivery is not only excellent but very reliable. Our churches and schools are in Cite Soleil, Ibo Beach and Blanchard, getting freight into these locations were always a challenge until we started using CASCO.

We are currently working on additional shipments including partial, full containers, medical equipment, meds and vehicles which will all go through CASCO and we are confident that they will clear customs and we be delivered as needed.

I have found CASCO not to be just another company, thank you for being that company that lives up to their commitments and please believe that your service is second to none."

"My ophthalmology practice is based in Chicago, but I do frequent humanitarian and medical work in Haiti with Living Hope Mission and Founders Wilbert and Meg Merzilus. Recently, while helping to coordinate more materials to set up an eye clinic in Cap Haitian, I had to get some medical supplies and equipment there pronto. Tony Marcelli and the people at CASCO really came to the fore. They coordinated delivery of the materials, helped pass them through customs in record time, and got them where they needed to be—all under a tight deadline.

I work with many organizations in Haiti and frequently need to ship materials there. Now that I know how reliable and helpful CASCO is, I will definitely turn to them again in the future and recommend them to others."

"CASCO has been terrific to work with. There are so many hurdles to doing malnutrition work in Haiti that when someone takes a personal interest in your problems and goes way out of their way to solve them, as Tony Marcelli and Maybeline at CASCO have done several times in the last few months for us at Meds & Food for Kids, we are very grateful.

Once we had an expert mechanic coming to put together a machine that had not yet arrived because of shipping problems with other companies. Tony made it happen just as the mechanic arrived. Another time, a very important piece of equipment was late arriving at CASCO from California. Tony talked the airline company into waiting for it. It did not arrive until the very last moment and missed the flight but Tony arranged to ship it to Miami for a flight two days later. When we are feeling like we are the only ones who care about our problems, up pops Tony, who also cares about Haiti and the difficult development work that we do here. Tony and Maybeline are those rare individuals who are in business to help those of us on the ground carrying out various missions in Haiti.
Their prices are fair and their service is superlative. I could not recommend them more highly."

"Dear Tony,

I want to give you a big thank you for your personal involvement in getting our medical supplies on their way to Petit Bourg du Borgne Haiti by way of Cap Haitian airport.

My wife Carolyn and I both deeply appreciate your kind service in seeing that all our supplies arrive in Haiti in plenty of time for our 2-29-08 medical team. We also appreciate that you have spent considerable time in Haiti and are very familiar with the people, the terrain and the always interesting and changing "rules of the customs officers."

As president of the Board of Visitation Hospital (Petite Riviere de Nippes, Haiti) and deeply involved in the Catholic Parish Twinning Program of the Americas (throughout Haiti) I learned of your company. I can now honestly tell all our 62 medical teams in Haiti and the medical staff at Visitation Hospital what a true joy it has been to work with you and your wonderful company.

Last night we had our "Haiti meeting" for the team that is going to use the medical supplies you shipped for us today. They were thrilled to hear how great you all were to work with and very appreciative of an American company so committed to customer service!!!!

I did send an email updating our priest Father Keith Louidor to be expecting the items by plane today. Hopefully he can get there soon to take charge of the boxes. He will probably contact the CASCO office in Cap Haitian and his Bishop's office if he has any problems clearing customs.

Once again thank you so much for taking all the time to help us with the shipment of these important and much needed medical supplies to Haiti!!!"
