Hi Walmzd
My advice is not to ship any stuff to Canada. Only what you can take with you in your suitcases is the best solution.
Unless you are sure your furniture is going to last atleast 5 years, than it is ok to ship. Otherwise it is not so feasible. You never know what size of house or apartment you are going to get in Canada.
And if it is necessary, never use EuroMovers dubai.
I have used Euro Movers, and it has been 5 months and I have yet to receive my shipment from Dubai to Canada.
they are a fraud, although they have a big office in Al Quoz Dubai, but I feel EuroMovers International are a con, and they dont care about the customer. It is a nightmare dealing with them.
Please never use them.
Use ISS as they are reputed.
