When I began doing business as a customs broker, after many years of holding a license but not operating, clearly business had changed very much from what I knew then. ACE was a whole new world for me. Needless to say, understanding ACE and its success in communication was no easy feat, but the ACELYNK Team was kind, patient, motivated enough to help me understand how the system worked and to facilitate a virtually error-free ACE environment eventually. I couldn’t have chosen a better provider and a better representation. Today, it is vital to what I do daily, and I look forward to continuing to grow along with their innovations and improvements as time goes by.
