Looking to buy some container space

#1 Post by RamblerRob » Sat Apr 25, 2015 1:30 am

I'm getting ready to order my chassis and am wondering if any of you fine folk have a line on someone who brings containers over from the UK. I'm hoping to find a more affordable shipping option than the quote i got for moving the chassis by itself.

Thanks
Rob

How much were you quoted?

I would suggest the best place to ask would be on the Canada forum on the Britishexpats website:

You would probably have to use a groupage company either at the UK end or at Montreal or a Shipping Agent to deal with the customs clearance and duties.

Unfortunately that's probably about the right price...

I assume you've priced Roversnorth including delivery (or a one-way with a U-Haul trailer yourself?) to make sure self-import is actually worthwhile?
