wjmark Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hi. I did do a search on this site, but there isn't much info. I am thinking of sending 2-3 meters of stuff back to Canada. Can someone suggest a shipping company And does anybody have experience specifically with getting stuff into Canada? Any problems? Any huge brokerage fees? Thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jes Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I can recommend http://www.abs-relocations.com/en/ We used them 2 times, first form Denmark to Udon in Thailand and then from Udon to Bangkok. They offer good service and the price is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highonthai Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Take a ride down to Ban Tawai, many,many shipping agents there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
market trader Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Apart from the shipping costs. Once the goods arrive in Canada you will be charged duty. Plus you will have to pay the 5% GST. Also the sales tax of the province you are shipping to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunsakda Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 How is duty assesed on such personal effects, having no actual value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepsel Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I would contact John at Chiang Mai Removals--they do packing and shipping and they guy is knowledgeable and efficient. If you are sending used personal goods there should be no duty or taxes. The shipping agent will tell you of all the excess charges there are not included in the freight and packing charges.

wjmark Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Thanks for all this folks. Yes, they are personal effects - used fitness equipment, books, some kitchen stuff, etc etc One of my concerns is that after getting it to Canada, it could still cost another $1000 just to get it to my home...

jingjoke Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 ^ Hmm...Possibly donate your used kit to the needy in Thailand and purchase anew in Canada. Could prove to be cost effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
