shipping to nova Scotia
 

Well it looks like our plans are almost finally coming together -just as well as keeping everything crossed for this long is getting more than a bit uncomfortable! I'm in the process of arranging the shipping of furniture etc to Nova Scotia. Can anyone recommend a shipping company -or more to the point are there any who you would most definately NOT recommend. All comments gratfully received!

Hi Maple,
we used Allied Pickfords, and we were very impressed with there service. Everything was very well wrapped and taken care of. It is all in storage in NS now. Can't really say who are not good, i'm sure other's can do that. Look forward to seeing you in NS soon.

Using White and Co here .. Leeds to Halifax .. just over £3K for a 20' container .. service has been good so far but then they haven't moved the stuff yet..:-) Price includes up to 4 weeks free storage at this end ...

Cheers - will give them a call 2morrow - have arranged for Pickfords, PPS and another one whose name i can't remember now - to do a survey next week.So should be interesting to see how their quotes vary.......

Hi,

We used White and co and have just had our container delivered this end. Apart from the local delivery agents used in Canada we have been impressed with the service, price and attention to detail.

Mind if I ask what was the problem with the local delivery agents?

Intelligence of a pea, and failed to handlegoods to our standards. In the end I stood and watched them remove every item from the container just to ensure no boxes were thrown off.
