Re: Container coming from UK to Canada -pulled by US customs?!

I don't believe it:
The container failed to update as having been loaded on Saturday, so yesterday I phoned and emailed Hapag-Lloyd.
No replies, but now when I track the container it says it's...

Re: Container coming from UK to Canada -pulled by US customs?!

Former Lancastrian, like Rivingtonpike said, "It just suited our circumstances."

Re: Container coming from UK to Canada -pulled by US customs?!

A week before I was set to move, GB Liners called to say they had decided not to accept the fact I was insuring with Letton Percival. After some...

Re: Container coming from UK to Canada -pulled by US customs?!

It just gets worse!
When my goods left the UK, they were scheduled to arrive in Vancouver on Friday the 26th.

We've paid $350 CAD for the inspection and "admin fee" as it seemed there was no other way.

Container coming from UK to Canada -pulled by US customs?!

Hello All,

I've had a bit of further frustration with my shipping: I got an email Friday morning to say that US customs had put a "7H NII" hold on my container.

It's currently heading into LA,...

Re: Shipping to Canada -GB Liners Container with Letton Percival Insurance

Thanks for the replies.
We've sorted out that GB will accept us using LP's insurance. As was agreed a month ago.
Hopefully all will go well now but I'll update from the other side.

Re: Shipping to Canada -GB Liners Container with Letton Percival Insurance

Thanks for the reply, Withabix,

This is the response I got from LP after forwarding them the email from GBL:

A bit of extra info for our specific situation:

We're packing our own boxes and only having GBL's guys wrap the furniture and load the container (20' sole use). In Vancouver we'll then rent a...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

I think the postie "signed" :thumbdown:
