Anyone know a good shipping company for large items? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

xnissan240sx · 03-01-2012, 10:26 AM

I am looking to ship a motor from the states to Canada and I am having some problems finding some company to ship it. Now I live close enough to the boarder so if I cant ship directly to my house in Canada then I have a place right on the boarder that I can drop the motor off at and make the drive down to get it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The motor is on a create and wrapped up, weight is about 400-500 Lbs.
Thanks!

Good question in general.

I wish I could find a company in japan that Did Shipping by Sea that would gather up the packages that would be shipped to thier location in Japan and then load & Boat Them over to the US be Freighted to Me/Customer. I'd be in Big business If i could find one or work that out with large Aero Parts etc.I'd be a vendor here for sure.

I would call some of the major Engine importers ALL over canada and see what They use to ship.They seem to get it done Right and super Fast!

gezz...I had 2 motors purchased from canada over the last 2-3 years that Arrived to my Door in 2-3 days tops. Crazy Fast and only $150 at the most.

I just had YRCFreight ship me a motor from Canada to Cali. It got here rather quickly, except for the truck breaking down, but they let me know. Good company.
