⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jessica Lin - Small Online Retailer (USA)
"As a first-time 1688 dropshipper, I was nervous about logistics—but Forest Leopard made it seamless. I’ve been using their Free Sourcing Delivery Service since February 2025 for small-batch orders to the U.S., and every shipment has arrived within 9–11 days via express. Their branded tracking portal is intuitive, and customer support responds within hours. The fact that they handle customs clearance on my behalf is a game-changer."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thomas Reed - Import/Export Agency (Germany)
"We upgraded to the Advanced Model in October 2024 for our EU-bound electronics shipments, and the difference is night and day. With priority customs clearance, we’ve cut processing time by nearly half compared to our previous forwarder. The hybrid LCL+Express model lets us balance cost and speed perfectly. Plus, their team helped us ship a batch of lithium batteries—fully compliant and stress-free."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Naomi Patel - Chemical Products Distributor (India)
"Shipping lab-grade solvents to the U.S. and Japan requires precision, and Forest Leopard’s dangerous goods certification gave us the confidence to scale. We use the Pro Model, and while the 72-hour documentation window adds slight delay, the peace of mind is worth it. Every shipment has passed compliance checks without a single hold-up. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars? More origin hubs in Southeast Asia would help."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alex Chen - Founder, EcoGadgets (Canada)
"We launched our e-commerce brand in January 2025 and needed a logistics partner that could grow with us. Forest Leopard’s end-to-end dropshipping support allowed us to fulfill U.S. and EU orders in under 10 days consistently. Their real-time tracking and 24/7 support team helped us maintain customer trust during peak season. The LCL option saved us over 30% compared to full container loads—huge for a bootstrapped startup."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Maria Gonzalez - Handmade Jewelry Seller (Spain)
"I started small—just 5–10 packages a month from China to Spain. Forest Leopard’s home-user-friendly interface and transparent pricing made it easy to get started. Delivery takes about 14–18 days via LCL, which works for my low-volume business. I wish express shipping were slightly cheaper, but the reliability and customer service make up for it. My items, including fragile glass pendants, arrived undamaged every time."Purchase Date: December 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months

Linda Wu - Supply Chain Consultant, Global Trade Insights
"Forest Leopard stands out in the crowded freight forwarding space with its LCL+Express hybrid model and seller-managed customs clearance. For e-commerce businesses scaling from dropshipping to bulk imports, their tiered service models offer unmatched flexibility. The Pro Model’s AI-driven route optimization is particularly impressive—cutting transit times by up to 35% in real-world benchmarks."
David Kim - Founder, E-Logistics Advisory Group
"In my work with emerging DTC brands, reliable international shipping is the #1 bottleneck. Forest Leopard’s turnkey integration with 1688 and branded tracking reduces operational friction significantly. Their support for dangerous goods also opens doors for niche product categories often excluded by mainstream carriers. A top-tier choice for serious e-commerce players."
