things you can take
 

Hi peeps a quick question, when moving to canada with all my house hold items the one thing i have heard is that you cannot take your bed mattresses is this true. :confused:

Re: things you can take
 

We took ours,all 4 of them. Removal people had no problem with them.

Re: things you can take
 

Not only did we bring our bed (with 5 year old mattress) we also brought a brand new one still in wrapper as bed sizes are diffeent here (and my bed was one item of furniture I definitely couldnt live without!!).

Re: things you can take
 

I think Trish nailled the normal issue.

Bed are different sizes so therefore bedding is a different size and unless you are plannin on bring new every few trips from th UK you'll can run it to difficults.

Depending on Quality you already have you can work out - cost of shipping v cost of replacing by looking at online stores.

Thanks for that, it may have sounded a stupid question but i was told by some friends in the no. [or so they think they are] that you where not allowed to take them dont ask me why, maybe its got something to do with the bed mites [haha] so it know looks like i am takeing the lot. cheers peeps. :beer:

Re: things you can take
 

We were told that we could not take a mattress but I can't remember who by, it is supposed to be for the same reason you have to make sure cycles, garden tools are spotless, to avoid importing bugs or whatever in to Canada.

We were not bringing our bed anyway so it was not a problem but the babys mattress was only just over a year old so we were a bit p****d off about skipping it. We also had problems finding a mattress to fit his cot. Couldn't get anything the right size as they were all too small. Got one made in the end out of some memory foam type stuff so worked out in the end.

Where on earth did you hear that! What a lot of nonsense - we brought ours and I'm sooooo glad we did. Furniture is expensive and much of it is inferior. If yours is a comfy bed, bring it, you won't regret it! :D

Re: things you can take
 

As i said in my last thread, some so called friends told us this. Its only when you come on to sites like these that you find out things from people who have been there and do it, so thanks now we know .

Re: things you can take
 

Thanks for that, its strange what you hear about things you can take or not take, i am going to take as much as i can now i know that. ps have you been in canada long.

Hi Bolton Boy
Been here since October 2004 - flew in on Hallowe'en on our broomsticks! We were here but in a different part of Ontario back in the 80's - we've done things diffrently each time we've crossed the Pond, and learned from all experiences.
When are you hoping to get out of The UK and where do you hope to settle?

Hey Burnden Bill!!

Sorry to disappoint you but this Bolton Boy is a Utd fan. Always have been always will.

I know Ainsworth. I used to play for Breightmet Utd and we would do our training runs up the hills in Ainsworth :scared: :scared:

I'm actually still in Wigan at the minute waiting to sell our house. I became landed on May 5th at Toronto. My OH is Canadian but has lived in Wigan most of her life. Once the house is sold we're moving to Barrie about 60 miles North of TO, right on Lake Simcoe......What about you?

Cheers
