I used http://www.gbliners.com/ and was very happy with their price and service.

Didn't bother with health insurance cover for the initial 3mths, but that decision depends on your tolerance of risk. http://www.pbchbs.com/Corp/Default.aspx might work as an option for you.

We used

http://www.brytor.ca/

They were excellent, cant fault them at all.

Or if you want a UK company my friend used and was very happy with.

http://www.bishopsmove.net/

Both excellent companies. Give them ago.

Pickfords are going into receivership so DONT call them.

Good luck

I think you will find a lot of people on here do not recommend Anglo Pacific whilst others used them and were very disappointed. I found them to be so overpriced and didn't like the rep at all. In the end we went with Robinsons. Sole container took exactly 5 weeks to arrive no problems at all.

For our health insurance we used Canadasure.

Hi


Its interesting that you say that people on the site will not recommend Anglo Pacific. I haven't read anything on here that suggests that at all. Do you have any specific thread details ?

The reason that I say this is that I have had all my quotes for shipping except PSS. By far the best so far is Anglo Pacific. The GB LIners guy was in and out in 15 mins.


Hmmm we need a who is the best shipper post

We went with Allied Pickfords from the UK (Cardiff) who have tied agents in Vancouver.

Superb all round.
