Apr 9, 2026Tyler LarsonTravel Buggy Inc.5.0Strader-Ferris International has been a huge help to our business. From storing and shipping our large 80lb electric wheelchair dangerous goods boxes all the way down to the parts and hardware, they have helped accommodate all our business needs as we have grown and increased the scale of our inventory. SFI is also our Freight Broker, brokering shipments for us daily.(Overseas, Internationally as well as across North America) Having warehouses in Prescott, ON and Ogdensburg, NY they are a godsend for our cross-boarder shipments for inventory transfers as we need to allocate stock where and when it's needed, often getting the product from warehouse to warehouse in the same day(from CA to US or vice versa). Whether you're a small business scaling up or a conglomerate company, SFI will be able to assist and cater to all your 3PL needs. I can't recommend the SFI Team enough!!
