Hey hey thankyou very much that did the trick. I can't decide whether to use a broker or do it my self. If any one has gone through the process themselves and can fill me in that would be great. I have read other post hear about it and talked to canada customs, I think I have it some what figured out but any help at all would be great

Cheers

Matthew

Having dealt with Al Thompson, Courtney's freight guys, and Paul C several different times they are very helpful. Living out of town I always got the full meal deal, but Paul clearly explained each step need if I wanted to do it all myself; ie - if I was the consignee for shipping, custom addresses and there two approvals. They are willing to allow you to unstuff the container yourself to save some money.

I was surprised that Paul told me how to do all of the vehicle landing myself as that is there business. If I had the time available and lived closer I would like to unload my own vehicle.

If you just want one vehicle and don't want to wait for roro, consider sharing a container with other people too lower costs and speed up the time to get a vehicle. Or just fill a container and sell the extras. :D
