Anyone Recommend a Freight Forwarder?
 

We move to Canmore in September. We are not taking any furniture so we are looking for a company that will just take freight ie, boxes. Can anyone recommend a company they have used for this purpose; and if you have any contact numbers that would be great?

Thanks,

Rob.

Hi - we're just in the process of packing up our boxes to get them shipped out next week. We're not taking furniture either, so I rang around getting quotes from various companies that other people on this site had previously used (Advance Forwarding, Whites, Robinsons, excess international and Independent Freight).

We've decided on Independent Freight; they seem really friendly and are helpful. We're sending just one pallet of stuff (pallet measures 1m x 1.2m and 2.2m high) and that costs £450 to Vancouver. We just pack our own boxes and are dropping them off (they do collect but it costs a bit more). It takes around 6 weeks to arrive in Vancouver.

I'll let you know more once we've actually used them! ;)

We are going to use Anglo Pacific, they were recommended to us and have been really helpful and their quote was not too bad either!
