What Our Customers Think...

"We use Island Handling Systems to order items such as storage supplies and most recently, carts to assist with our fall UPEI Residence move in. Unfortunately, the model cart that we wanted was not available until October 2024, leaving us in a bind with 700+ students moving in within several short weeks.

While this was entirely on us for not looking to place this order sooner, Char with Island Handling went above and beyond to try to get an alternative order submitted for us that would arrive in time. When it was discovered that it wasn't possible, Char actually loaned us 4 carts. Not only did she loan us them, she had them delivered to us, during what is our absolute busiest time of the year. This removed so much stress and allowed our move-in process to proceed smoothly.

We are so incredibly grateful for her diligence and kindness and will be looking to use this company whenever it is possible!

Thanks so much, Char & the Island Handling team! You're the best!"

Sincerely, Megan and the Ancillary Services team!
