Shipping Services to Canada

Ark Relocation has been providing local removals in Milton Keynes and shipping services to commercial customers and families, as well as individuals, for more than 25 years. Our International Removals Canada service covers all parts of Canada, and makes moving a breeze.

As a part of the service we will conduct a pre-move international moving survey that will help you to assess what items you would like to relocate to Canada. A surveyor will consider what items you would like to place in storage and then we will discuss with you any urgent requirements you may have, so that your most needed items can be sent by airfreight. Our comprehensive survey will ensure that all of your items are covered, and you will have a clear and detailed itinerary by which to manage your relocation.

International Shipping to Canada

Packing and Planning for Your Move to Canada

As soon as you determine a date for moving, you should liaise with our international move coordinators. They will arrange for one of our teams of professional packers to prepare your items for export. At Ark Relocation, we have many years of expertise in removals, and we will work with you to ensure that all of your items make the move safely. We have specially designed packaging and boxes for everything from TVs to wardrobes, bikes, sofas and more.
We wrap your furniture in export wrap to ensure that it is fully protected, and provide a full case making service to protect your paintings, antiques and other valuables.
Once your belongings are packed, they are ready to load into a shipping container. If you are shipping a large number of items then we will place them into a sole-use container. For a smaller shipment, we will use a groupage container, and your items will be shipped with those belonging to other clients that are heading to a similar part of Canada. This method of shipping will save you money because each client pays for only the space that they use in the shipping container.  Our move co-ordinator will help you to figure out the best balance between shipping and air freight for your needs.

Exclusive Use Containers to Canada

An Exclusive use or Full Container Load service to Canada is the most efficient option if you are shipping all of your household effects. The container will arrive at your residence in the UK, and then be taken to port and loaded for shipping.

Shared Container Services to Canada

For smaller volumes we recommend the shared container service. A shared container or groupage service is a good option if you are shipping small volumes or if you are looking for a more economical way to ship your household items.
