Default Sharing Container YYC to UK

Any one got prices to share a container?

I have nearly sold all my furniture so only need a part of a container I believe, I am going to get some quotes in the next couple of weeks.

Hi, AB4NOW, we where looking at returning to UK form Regina, and would only need a part of a container too. Are you looking at a 20ft container, do yo have a cubic size for your goods, (I've not done ours yet but we've not got a lot) what part of UK you looking at?

Ive got some firms calling me this week, I can let you know if they can do part collection or vice versa.....

Yep I've got about 500 cuft. 1/2 a 20ft container. Buckinghamshire.
What about you?

I'm sure I could get you in our load, I could speak to our shipper tomorrow. Do you have your cuft? And where are you heading too?

we've probably got less than that but depend on cost of the other half to be honest.....We're looking at Essex, although thats probably not an issues if the container comes into Felixstow, it could go via Essex to Buckinghamshire. I'll keep you posted.

We shipped some things from Calgary in 2012 and only required part of a container. The shipping company, Starline, organised that for us as they regularly ship containers being used by more than person. Depending on when they fill a container you could receive your things quite quickly, but on the other hand it could take a few months. We could have had our things in the UK before we arrived, but opted to wait for a later shipment to make things easier for us at the Cdn end.
