Shipping goods over to Toronto, Canada from London, UK...
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to do as much research as possible on taking my things abroad and getting the best quotes - it will just the things from my room (excluding furniture) and should weigh roughly around 300kg in total.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best and cheapest air frieght/shipping company as I wanted to start early and send things from London before I arrive (also is this possible as I know when I land I have to fill out out a goods accompanying and goods to follow form?).
I was thinking of just taking additional luggages on the day I move as it is only £30 for £23kg.
Can anyone advise on the best way to move things abroad and if there is anything I need to complete or border/tax restrictions I may face if I ship things early?
Thanks :-)
