Help Shipping Personal Effects Home To Canada

[CMFarang]

I am in the process of sending my Personal Belongings back home to Canada.

In need a Shipping Company that is reliable and reasonably priced... HELP !

Can Anyone recommend a company that is Thailand wide or Hopefully Located in CHIANG MAI that will deal with the process of exporting my Stuff ? An export Company / Agent is what I need..

Email addresses are a preferred form of contact with these companies. So include them in your reply if you have them please.

Website address are also Helpful..

Don't forget to include those Horror Stories to keep this entertaining as well.About Exporting , I already dealt with the Importing Scams.

THANX for any help

CMFarang,

What did you find out about this process? We're now in the same position with having to ship our belongings back to Canada and any advice about what company based in Chiang Mai is the best would be much appreciated.

Sorry I can't help with your question and don't mean to derail your thread but would you mind sharing your experience with importing from Canada into Thailand? What scams did you come across?

I have not used them yet from here but can recommend Allied Pickfords - contact Michael for a written quote +66 2 361 3961

Cost also depends on the following:

- your shipment delivered port to port, or door to door.

- they pack for you, or you pack yourself

- if you pay by credit card (fees) or cash (currency)

- insurance

Also try Crown Removals.

Transpo/Asiantigers has an office on 2nd Ring Rd./Hwy 121. Just east of Hang Dong Road on the north side. They cleared my Canadian shipment and shipped to CM. They should be able to arrange all international shipping as required. I found them very efficicient and they have a great reputation. I have a 4x4x8 crate available if interested. It was custom made in Canada.

They may have done a decent job for others, but my personal experience of Allied Pickfords leads to the conclusion:

AVOID THEM AT ALL COST!!!

They managed to delay my shipment by three weeks (one container from Bangkok to Chiang Mai) and cause ~5,000 baht extra and unnecessary costs. (Not to mention other things that I cannot specify due to Thai libel laws.)

has anyone here used McCormick Shipping? They are always advertising in City Life but are they any good? Fairly priced? I also found this page on the Canadian government's website for sending personal items back to Canada http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/help-aide/topic-sujet/15-eng.html Very helpful.

Bump.

Yes I am trying to send this back up the list as I would like input on this subject and am wondering if anyone had shipped items with McCormick or another shipping company back to Canada (or North America)?

Thank you.
