There is no way on hell that us WAGS are going to be confined within this thread - thats just wishful thinking!!!! I think that most WAGS do 99% of the research into Canada - I know I have - and do you think my husband is grateful?

What were you thinking Gremmie, not one of your better ideas was it hun. You would have been better naming this thread "Sale at Harrods" if you wanted us all in here.

this is just my opinion or option which ever suits really would it not save us all time on here when looking for help and facts about company's and places.

if we all kept to the treads and kept the chit chat to post messages that way if you miss a day there is not 3/4 pages to go through, of nothing really just other people's conversation's.

i am just looking for help and guidence then i will make my own mind up, but either way it would save us all a lot of trawling the net .

anyone else feel this way or does everyone else seam to have more time to read things on hear than me .

p.s karla did you get my post message regards shipping ?

thanks for your time in reading this i may stand down off my soap box i thinks

But then whes the fun in that, every thread goes off topic at one stage or another, but it always gets back on track. If we just kept to the topic of the thread name then there would be millions of threads?

Yes I did get your email - sory for not replying sooner but I've been knocking down a wall in my kitchen. I have not looked into any companys at the minute. We are not shipping the items over - we are flying them across as we don't want to be kept waiting for weeks on end.

Hello there. I contacted a firm in Liverpool this morning. They are getting back in touch next week with more info. ie.. Ports of entry, customs, size of container. Also the different options of container shipping. One option is you keep the container. Ideal for storage if you have the space where you would be living. Secure too. A friend of mine used the same company last month to move to Portugal, seamless no probs atall. Anyway, I have added your e-mail to my messenger. So If would like more info give us a nudge.
Cheers.
Neil

Hi, Gremmie,

Hows the job @ WestCan going? We are going to the same company but in a different Province, Saskatchewan. Looking forward to it as soon as I sell my bricks & mortar, as in house. Not in Army terms- not AP Round.LOL...
