MEET THE TEAM

Stephen Reize

PRESIDENT AND OWNER

STEPHAN was born in Basel, Switzerland. Stephan began his freight forwarding career in 1977 as a 19 year old apprentice. Shortly after starting, his company sent him across the world to work first in their New York office, and then in their Toronto office. It was in Toronto that Stephan met his wife, Carol, and they moved out west to Calgary. In 1990, Stephan ventured out to start his own freight forwarding company, Ocean-Air Freight Ltd. His love for adventure has not changed, and he continually travels the world with his wife Carol. Whenever he has free time, you will find him skiing or working his farm. You will not find a harder working or diligent man than Stephan. There is no ‘impossible’ in his vocabulary. Talk to him if you need help in German or French.

Glen Reize

OPERATIONS MANAGER

GLEN joined his dad, Stephan, in the shipping business, and has been working in company operations for 11 years. He is currently taking over marketing and accounting responsibilities too. He went to school for business, and has travelled to many countries, living for periods of time in Thailand and the Philippines. In his free time, you will find him being active, climbing mountains or playing soccer. Glen has been learning Thai, but is not yet at the level to be able to assist you thoroughly in that language. You can be sure that Glen will always be eager to listen and help wherever is needed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a great company for shipping overall, but be aware that pricing may change. Our shipping costs were adjusted several times during the process. They did communicate this with us, but in the end the price increased by another $5,000. Due to that jump, we chose to pick up the shipment ourselves rather than have it delivered to our home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently used this company for our international move from Canada to Dubai, and the entire experience was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Their team was incredibly professional, organized, and supportive throughout the whole process. Our shipment about 300 kg of personal belongings, including a lot of fragile items like glass décor, heritage dinnerware, and other sentimental pieces, was handled with care that genuinely exceeded our expectations.

Our boxes arrived earlier than we did, which already tells you how efficient they are! And the best part? They allowed us to keep our shipment stored for a few weeks until we officially settled into our new apartment in Dubai. That flexibility made a huge difference during such a stressful transition.

When we finally opened everything, every single item was in perfect condition 100/100. Not a single scratch, chip, or issue. For anyone who has ever moved fragile or valuable items overseas, you know how rare and impressive that is.

Absolutely fantastic service, smooth communication, fast delivery, and flawless handling. We couldn’t be happier and truly recommend them to anyone planning an international move. They made one of the hardest parts of relocating feel effortless. 🙌✨

Glen was super responsive to all my questions and provided a turnkey service for my delivery of household items from Calgary to West Vancouver. I still can’t believe how fast he did that. I definitely recommend and would use Ocean-Air Freight again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was positively impressed with Ocean-Air Freight’s service when I relocated from Canada to Mauritius. Their door-to-door service is top notch, yet, very affordable compared to other companies. ALL household items arrived in mint condition (they had even palletized all the loose boxes to ensure it wouldn’t be damaged during shipping). Communication with the team was amazing all throughout the process. I recommend them 1,000%!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I never write reviews but reading reviews helped me pick this company to ship our household goods from Vancouver to France. All in all, they were very good. I had a lot of emails back and forth with them throughout the entire process. We had to change destinations a few times but in the end, everything went well and our goods made it safely across the ocean and within the timeframe we wanted. It's definitely a stressful process but I'm grateful they helped us along the way.
