Shipping From UK (London) to Canada

[J_and_G]

Hi,
I am looking for any information on shipping between London and Canada (specifically Calgary). We are planning on sending our stuff in mid September and I am trying to find a reasonably priced company and/or method of shipping. We are quite happy to move all of the boxes to the shipping company ourselves to help bring the cost down. An estimate would be 30 crates totalling approximately 500-600kg, with no furniture included. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
Jen

I have also been looking for shipping companies. A lot of online companies do free quotations if you know the size and weight of your goods. Other then that i've been looking in the phone book. Really all you can do is call and ask.
Hope this helps a little

I have used 1st International, also known as Shipit. Their price and times were reasonable, just make sure that you specify that you want it shipped to your property if you don't want to collect it from a depot in Calgary. The service was very good and I am expecting our items to arrive at the end of the week - less than a month from them collecting it!
