We’ve talked to a lot of people in the last few months. From folks in northern Saskatchewan that ship just a few times a year, to the “big guys” in the major cities. Everyone initially experienced a feeling of fear regarding e-Manifest. Take heart though, even our smallest clients have adjusted and can attest that things work out.
This week we’ve heard of some Canadian companies planning to close their operations to the US. This in response to the further implementation of ACE e-Manifest.
If you’re reading this, please don’t give up. We realize this is another government program and a burden, but you can do it.
Here are a couple pointers:
- the ACE Portal can be tough to learn and slow to use. If you want “free”, you will spend more time setting yourself up and more time submitting each e-Manifest going forward. Note that you can keep your ACE Portal account if you sign up with Greeneye. If you decide to go back to the Portal, we’ll refund 100% of your first month’s Trips.
- With Greeneye, you can be sending e-Manifests within a couple hours.
- We are still hearing of companies that recently paid over $250 to setup on e-Manifest. Why should you pay for someone else to earn you as a customer. If you’re not going to use Greeneye, ask your provider to waive their setup fee.
- You don’t need to have an ACE Portal account to send e-Manifests. You also don’t need to close your ACE Portal account to sign up with Greeneye.
We hope you’ll consider doing business with us. We enjoy what we do. Whatever you do, please don’t give up. If you’re at a point of frustration, give us a call and we’ll help you as best as we can.
