Ireland to Canada movers
 

Allo... question for the Irish who've moved over to Canada. Who did you use to transport stuff? Im only taking about 25 boxes, no furniture. Just realised that some of the boxes ive had for 11 years and original went to Vancouver. :)

Tks in advance.

So I guess it's time to leave Ireland behind, sorry things didn't work out for you:( Good luck with your next Canadian adventure where are you headed this time?

(sorry don't know anything about shippers I'm sure someone will be along soon with some suggestions)

Tks Elaine, just bad timing regarding Ireland.

This time we're going to Toronto. I cant quite believe it to be honest. Excited and absolutely terrified at the same time. Gotta do something cos there is zero work here right now.

I'm sure you'll enjoy Toronto:thumbup: Two small bits of advice live downtown for awhile if you can and don't buy a house in the Main and Danforth area, it sucks:p

Allied Pickfords might be an option also.

Any advice is welcomed!

And thanks Colin for the moving companies.

Re: Ireland to Canada movers
 

We moved back to Calgary in February,(after 7 months back in Ireland!), and shipped boxes using AIRSEA in Dublin. They were competitive with their prices. They failed to advise us about an extra $500 we had to pay for steamship agent, handling and storage. They were difficult to contact when this occurred and washed their hands of any responsibility......so just be aware of this. Good luck!

Hi,

Used http://www.mcgimpseys.com/ over two years ago.

Excellent service

Hi Londonnuck...long time no hear...lol.....we moved 28 boxes from Northern Ireland to Canada with www.excess-baggage.com no problems either side. I don't know if they are a UK only company but would be worth looking at them anyway.
Hope you love Toronto!

Hello Londonuk!

We are using Nat Ross, they have been very helpful so far, we have LCL and are grouping it, means it will take 8 to 12 weeks but it's cheaper and we don't need the stuff until we have a proper base..

I also looked at airtransat cargo from Dublin, would have worked better if we had less but was too expensive.

Hope this helps!

Moira.

Allo Alvic

How much was that little lot?

And thanks all, much appreciated!

Re: Ireland to Canada movers
 

It was just over 800 GBP....sorry I can't remember hos to do the "pound" on my Canadian keyboard.....but that was in 2008?

Re: Ireland to Canada movers
 

800 Euros for 15 small boxes.

I'd rather row them across the Atlantic myself than use these rip off ***********s
