Shipping Items to Canada
Hello Everyone!
Hoping someone whose been there, done that can give us some advice.
We're trying to find the most economical way to get my Husband's personal effects from the U.K. to Ontario. Every company, etc.. we've checked with so far has been very expensive. He's only shipping personal items, clothes, books, cd's, etc... Nothing big, no furniture or electronics, etc....
Just wondering what other folks have done who have already arrived in Canada. Just trying to gather as much info. as we can!
Many thanks!

Re: Shipping Items to Canada
Hi,
We have looked into this and found a company that ships by sea or air.
www.sevenseasworldwide.com .They offer a door to door service with free packing cartons and materials, for example by sea the first carton is £129 and £55 for all the others if required.
We will use them for our bits and bobs not required immediatley, it says on their website shipping would take around 8 weeks.
Hope this helps
Regards Steve

Try also:
www.excessbaggage.com
www.excessinternational/com
They do door to door international via air/sea. We had best prices for shipping all household goods with them and have now booked them.
