Oh dear! Sounds like a nightmare, it's not exactly down the road! Hadn't they told you that before when you gave them your Grande Prairie address?
I'll be in Vancouver so very near the port - they'd better deliver, but if not I'll get a taxi or something...fingers crossed! Adele :) Other than that slight glitch I couldn't fault them. I'm sure as you are in Vancouver you will be fine. I bet you can't wait for your stuff to arrive! I was so happy to see my things.......even after a VERY early start to drive to Calgary (and a grumpy boyfriend who wasn't happy about getting up a 3am on his day off to reunite me with my beloved possessions!!) |

The guy I had been dealing with sent me an email to say get in touch and let them know how much I had spent on fuel and they would put the money in my account straight away!! :thumbsup: I didn't need to send them receipts or anything!

Bit confused though - I thought goods to follow lists were stamped at the POE (YVR) when landing? Didn't realise I'd have to go to some office as well?! :confused: |

Hooray! Happy unpacking! I'm doing door to door shipping but only one 3cuft box - just photos, DVDs and personal effects - so am hoping it'll be straighforward...we'll see! :-)
They were the cheapest we could find. The only problem is that they don't do door to door but door to port. |
