They were very easy to work with, had great communication, and are very well educated in what they do. Would recommend them to help anyone in their time of need, as they can accomplish what you need to them to do. Jim Ferris2025-12-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. International Remains Shipping was a godsend. It would have taken me days to navigate the bureaucracy if I could have at all. Madison was great. She walked me through the process and was responsive to my questions. Although I doubt I'll ever have the need to use them again, if it does arise, they'll be my first call. Highly recommend. Bill Cluver2025-12-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My mom passed away in the Dominican Republic and I was fortunate enough to come across IRS to help repatriate her back to the US for burial. I had no idea what to do. In the most troubling of times they assured me that they would handle everything. And, they did! After our initial call I didn’t need to worry about anything. We had the good fortune to work with Christina and Annette. Their professionalism and empathy along with that of their providers both in the DR and in the US, were top tier. If you find yourself in the unfortunate need of this type of service, don’t hesitate to call them or search elsewhere. They made the most troubling of times so much easier in every regard.
