I researched the company and could not find any information about them. I asked multiple questions and everything seemed to be legitimate as far as I could tell. I was set to paid 2130 plus 430 in "bonuses" for getting packages out within 24 hours of receiving the label online. As of December 29th, I could not log onto my account and whenever I tried to contact my supervisor, Martin Berg, I received an error message saying my message could not be sent. I sent out 20 packages over the month I was working with them and spent over 170 of my own money on packaging supplies. I was also told I was going to be reimbursed for gas, but I still can not get in contact with anyone. Be wary if you hear from GFS, Martin Berg, or Edvin Lundin! Has anyone else experienced this and what are you trying to do to get it resolved.
