Who we are

A logistics company that knows your shipment matters.

JLog started in Cape Town because the city’s galleries, designers, and makers needed someone who treated their work the way they did. Not as freight. Not as boxes. As things made by hand, sold by reputation, and ruined by careless handling.

We crate on-site in our Woodstock workshop. We work with FedEx, DHL, Bob Go, MDS Collivery and EMIT so we can route each shipment the best way for your job. We track every shipment through our own software, built in-house, so we can tell you exactly where your work is at any moment.

And we answer the phone.
