Shipping to the UK.
I know it takes about 8 weeks for a container to arrive back into the UK. But does anyone know how long it takes or what the process is after this? Does it all have to go into a bonded store until it's checked for example?

We used AMJ Campbell from Alberta to Northamptonshire in May 08 and we were pleased. Although they did have trouble accepting our payment until the exchange rate was in their favour...!

I made quite abit of noise over it in here >>>>http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...=571551&page=2 I finally recieved my shippment on the 13th of November and it left my house in Canada on the 24th of June :curse:
Didn't get to open my boxes til late dec and my grandfather clock was smashed and 2 very expensive collectors ornaments....both of which, carn't be replaced....
This was the Vancouver office that dealt with my shipping and would never recommend to anyone.
For what its ended up costing us, we could of paid for a half empty container
And got our stuff in 3 wks and probably in one piece......

Lathered in paint and plaster 
But it feels great lolsPS Just to say....Our stuff was delivered to us in Canada by Williams, and we had no problems at all. We did get a quote from Williams, but put our trust in someone our realtor recommended and because money was very tight returning...we went with the realtors reco and the cheaper quote ...Unfortunately we paid for that decission ERR!!!
