is anyone going from toronto?share container?
 
I was wondering if anyone was going from toronto who might want to consider a container share?

I only need to send home a few boxes but i am trying to find the cheapest way as i have not got much money at all. I thought this could possibly save money for each of us. somebody mentioned to me that this could be an option to consider.

any suggestions would be appreciated. only nice ones!

Hi there,

When are you planning to ship your stuff and where in the UK are you shipping to?

Sorry i took so long to reply. I had not read this thread for a while. I am moving to Bexhill on sea, east sussex. It is so hard when you are on a budget!
I have sold nearly all my furniture and i only need roughly 30 boxes. could cut that down if i had to.
thanks and take care

You possibly have too much stuff but I saw this on another thread and it looks ok for just a few boxes.

Sorry to hijack this but anyone: a single box, don't care how long it takes - any recommendations? The company above seems expensive (over $200), as one box seems to be too little compared to what they usually deal with, while UPS is also too expensive ($280) because they are all about express delivery. Looks like USPS is about $70 surface (about 4-6 weeks) or $113 (4-10 days), which looks like what I will go with - unless anyone can suggest a cheaper alternative? (I know I am shipping my whole house Friday, but I need to keep behind some research materials so I can work on a project over the last few days).
