Hello everyone
Has anyone moved to lovely Montreal from the UK in recent years who can give me the names of some reliable (and cheap-ish) shipping companies please ?

We have about 30 boxes of personal stuff (already packed) to ship over, but getting wild differences in prices and I don't know which companies I can trust.

We don't have any furniture or large items, we have already sold our house and given away most large items, not worth shipping any of it over as I'm an Ikea fan - I know there is one in Montreal

I would be grateful if anyone knows of a company that regularly ships UK to Canada.

Moving over sometime in September...very excited !!!!!!

Thank you

I assume that you've priced out the two biggies already: UPS and FedEx?

Sometimes they're surprisingly fair-priced.

Hi Dawn

I didn't know they dealt with household stuff, I thought they just do shipping for businesses ?

I guess I will have to contact them, thanks.

No, no, they're not just for business at all! We use them all the time (in Canada and the U.S., at least). They'll ship anything that you want shipped, no problem.
