Be aware.

Ultimate Logistics and an owner Lenny (Leonard) Proietto are crooks and simple criminals. The company is a scam. Do not let them still from you.

I shipped my vehicle to Dubai where I am currently on international assignment. Ultimate Logistics gave me good quote for the shipment and I decided to use them. I organized to drop off my vehicle at the port by myself and used the UL just for the ocean freight. Once Certificate of Origin was in their possession they started to impose on me extra charges that were totally unreasonable. I.e. I needed to pay $700 for storage of my car - a storage that had never occurred. Lenny Proietto refused to release my documents (B/L and Certificate of Title) until I pay whatever they want. I did but it was not the end of the nightmare.
Once I got a B/L I learned that the UL did not insure my car for shipment even though I paid them for that purpose $300. Then (can you believe it?!) they changed terms of the shipment from Pre-Paid to Freight Collect what means that to get my vehicle at the port of destination I need to pay additional $1700.
I am suing them. Do not get in any business with the UL and Lenny unless you love court sitcoms.
