Moving back from Calgary
 
Hi, we have decided to move back to the UK after a ten year adventure in Calgary. The son and his wife are moving back because of the mess the Federal Government is making of the oil and gas sector.and that leaves me and the wife in a bit of a pickle. We are both pensioners and if anything happened to me she would be here with no support which is not acceptable.The decision is made so in the early spring we intend to go after selling up. My question is, can anyone recommend an international moving company in Calgary. We are not taking all our furniture, just the TV 's, computers and my tools. The tools are the big thing, I have two big tool boxes, welding set and that sort of stuff which is quite heavy.
We have both enjoyed it here traveling down the Phoenix with the daughter on a road trip, visiting the Provence's and having a good time but we do miss the grand kids.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Tipsy

We moved back from Calgary 6 years ago. We used Starline in Calgary and shared a portion of a container. It takes a bit longer as you have to wait until they have a full container to ship. We didn’t have any problems with the shipping. Good luck with your move.

My partner and I have always used Seven Seas when moving internationally and we’ve always been very happy with the service we received.

Hi BritnParis,
thanks for the reply. That was on my list of contacts. Two quotes are better than one.

I too have used Seven Seas. They were fine.
