Self pack container - Manchester
Hi - we are interested in getting some quotes for a self pack 20ft container option from Manchester to Calgary.
Can any one recommend any companies? I have done some search and most of the ones mentioned in past seem to be based in the south of England.
Cheers,
Alastair.

Try http://www.eliteshipping.co.uk/
they are based further up north and do good deals on 20ft self pack containers I have been told.

Cheers for the info.
I am starting to get quotes in now and just trying to compare them all. Most are from door in Manchester to Calgary rail ramp so from there i would need to clear customs and arrange for onward transport etc. Might be more of a headache than first thought!

Hi...I used http://www.kflshippingservices.com/3104/frames.php last April. Cost £2600 for a 20ft self load from North Wales to Calgary. Absolutely no problems at all. The guys name is Paul, really helpful fella. Hope that helps.
EDIT: That price was door to door (we live approx 2.5 hours from Calgary)....had 3 hours to pack the container in the UK (only need 1.5 hours) and 1 hour to unpack it this end....I know that doesn't sound a lot of time but we emptied it in 45 minutes!!

I've been dealing with this company and I was quoted £2300 approx for 40'. The service is from my current address to my new address in NS but I still need to get a quote for insurance and clearance...

Hi Alastair,
Don't know if you've managed to get this organised yet, but you might want to give Marco Services in Manchester a try. I used them when I moved to Toronto.
