Clients' Testimonials

Transglobal Logistics USA

After several years of failed attempts at finding a reliable agent to represent Trans Global in Australia, we partnered with Dazmac. We have been using Dazmac as our Australian agent since 2010 and could not be happier. Their level of customer service, attention to detail, extensive knowledge about import requirements, and wide-ranging service options has greatly increased Trans Global’s value to our clients. Dazmac has finally allowed us to offer a level of customer service that we feel can not be matched in the market.

Macgregor 26m arrived in Brisbane march 2013

We picked her up on Tuesday without incident, I looked her over pretty well and it all seems to be there and in one piece. I would like to thank you and the team at Dazmac for your assistance and professionalism in what proved to be a hassle free experience. I wouldn’t hesitate in using your team again should I decide to import another boat. We are very happy with our purchase and the whole import experience, the only thing left to do now is go sailing.

Sailing into Australia under own power

A short note to say thanks for the professional and ethical manner in which you process the Customs and AQUIS requirements for our boat SeaQuill. You made the complexities look simple and removed a whole load of stress and uncertainty. I would recommend your services to anyone you needs assistance with a “Sailing under own power” clearance.

I would like to say a big “thanks”, as you have always been extremely helpful, professional and replied promptly to any queries I had. I really appreciate it, and certainly would not have any hesitation in recommending you to anyone else wanting to import a car.

Sailing to Australia from other countries and clearing customs & quarantine is not a problem for DAZMAC

We appointed Daryl agent to arrange the importation of our 48′ foot sailing catamaran, “Resolute II”, which was sailed by delivery crew from the Caribbean. Daryl handled all the customs, duty and GST arrangements expertly and without hitch, coordinating directly with the delivery crew. He was there at the quarantine inspection to help with any last minute issues. Daryl was efficient, attentive, completely organized and courteous throughout, and I recommend him without reservation

Have been involved in importing boats from other providers in the past which were a very tedious process. I purchased and wanted to import a boat from the USA late last year, I found Daryl to be professional and honest all the way through process. Kept me informed and got the boat here safely and in time for Christmas.

Fishing boat from China

I’d just like to thank you both for your help with getting my boat to Aus, unpacked and loaded onto the trailer. Today Mick and the boys at your Sydney yard were very professional and went out of their way to help the whole process go smoothly.

I’m told that this sort of thing can go well or can be difficult and when we hit a couple of hiccups trying to fit the trailer to boat, they couldn’t have been more helpful.

Dave Clark

I would like to thank your team for the great service and no fuss with regards to communication, customs clearance and loading my boats on our trailers.

Your boys and girls at the yard were very helpful and efficient. It was raining and they got on with it with a smile. Please let them know that they are stars.

Look forward to working with you again soon.
