Exclamation Alberta to UK shippers

Hi

We are moving back to the UK due to family problems and need to move quickly...
Can anyone reccomend a reasonable shipping company we have had two quotes in and both are around the $10 - $11,000 mark
We just cant afford to do this.

Any suggestions would be greatfully recieved

Thanks in advance

I can recommend Starline Overseas http://www.starlineoverseas.com/ - they often provide origin / destination services for our customers moving to and from the UK to Alberta and do a great job.

Hi, We moved back to the Uk from Calgary 3 weeks ago. We used AMJ Campbell.. ( behind Deerfoot mall) they have been amazing! Our stuff is on its way as we speak. Worth a quote anyway

Good luck

We used the MI Group and find them very professional. We've used them twice!

Thank you for your well wishes

We decided to use AMJ Campbell they were really efficient and responded to our questions quickly and in comparison to other companies were just more organised

I has happened quickly but that was our doing

Good luck.. we cannot praise AMG Campbell enough.. When there was the strike in the port of Montreal they stored our belongings in their warehouse free of charge and loaded the container as we had already left by the time the strike finished..

Our stuff arrives in liverpool today.. horaah!
