What our customers think

because you asked for it

Danilo Sapnu

great interface, many payment options, many locations/warehouses, I used two other reship services in Germany before (quite a lot) and like TipTrans the most so far.Only thing I noticed is that it takes quite long to chat with someone in the live chat.

Alexander Vollenweider

The response to the required services is sufficiently precise. Good job!!
