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!

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.

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.

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.
