Exclamation Moving to Canada - shipping stuff over!

Hi ...... I'm new to this so hope I'm doing this correctly!

Can anyone recommend companies who can ship our items to Canada from the UK .... we want someone who is reliable and fairly priced.

Thanks

Hi, and welcome to BE.

If you do a quick search of the forum, you'll find lots of threads with recommended shipping companies on.

HTH, good luck with the move.

Thank you ..... I'll definitely do that, though will need more time to go through them all. I was kinda hoping someone might see this now and be able to give me a recommendation from the top of the head.

No probs. It would be well worth reading the sticky thread above for Newbies (or follow the link in my signature) which will give you info on how the forum works, including pointing you in the direction of things like the search function.

HTH.

Hi there,

We're in the process of deciding removers - quotes from White and Company, Robinsons, Crown Relocations and GB Liners. Big variation in quotes received, so shop around.

Hello, we got quotes form about ten companies and went for movecorp in the end, they were not the cheapest but we felt more comfortable when discussing everything with them, they did not put any pressure on us to do the deal, and when I showed them the quotes from the other companies they lowered their own quote but didn't beat the lowest quote.
By the way, our container took 6 weeks door to door Coventry to Martensville in Saskatchewan!! very fast, and no complaints at all.

Best of luck to you.

Welcome to British Expats!

Check out this threat on getting a quote from an international moving company which should give you some help with the process. Hope it helps!

Hi ,
we used Upackweship and dealt with a guy called Chris very efficient was always on hand to answer any of our questions.
All in from Scotland to Ottawa we paid £2850 for a 20ft container we loaded and unloaded,you have 4 hours to load it and as a bonus we had 24 hours to unload it.
When you speak to them ask for Chris and tell them Arthur recommended you.

Arty & co
