One of representatives will survey the items you intend to ship. You will receive a free written quotation including transit times and all the optional services available to you.
You now have a personal contact in the business who will gladly answer all your questions in the months and weeks leading up to your move.
OPTION 1 - "Groupage Service"
You are shipping a few pieces overseas. Perhaps the contents of a one bedroom apartment. Your packed and wrapped goods are loaded into a container with several others shippers. All are travelling to the same city overseas. We can arrange door to door service or delivery to a movers warehouse overseas as the final destination. This can be a lowest price option.
OPTION 2 - "LCL Service" (Less than Container Load)
Similiar to Groupage Service. The significant difference being, at our warehouse, your goods are loaded into large custom made wood crates. This translates into additional protection of your order and significantly reduces handling. This is a commonly used service. Once again, you have the option of arranging your own delivery services at destination.
OPTION 3 - "Container Service" (Exclusive Use of Sea Container)
The most commonly ordered service for typical household orders. Automobiles are often shipped together with personal effects. Your packed and wrapped goods are loaded directly into the sea container at your residence. The container is then sealed providing you exclusive use service. The container arrives at your destination residence with the seal intact. The least amount of handling and often the best price option. Container sizes can be viewed on our "Sea Containers" page. We will advise you which container will do the job for you. Call us today, 613-523-5855.
AUTOMOBILES - "Ro Ro Service" (Roll on roll off)
This service is for sending automobiles as an individual shipment. A very common and reasonably priced method.
Your auto is transported from our office via auto carrier to the port of exit. Vehicles must be in good working order as they are driven on and off ships specially designed to carry cars. Although this service is reliable, we suggest you ship late model and expensive vehicles inside a sea container. Please note that a car being shipped "Ro Ro" must be completely emptied of all items except for standard equipment.
Reliable, fast and effective. Air freight shipments arrive in Europe in two to three days, most anywhere in the world within ten days. Properly packed in the right cartons ensures a positive moving experience.
Your Guardian sales representative has all the answers to your questions regarding packing, insurance, routing, documentation and final delivery.
We have in stock the complete line of I.A.T.A. (International Air Transport Association) cartons and the expertise to pack your most fragile items for air freight.
Our association with F.I.D.I., a world wide network of qualified overseas movers further ensures you a seamless continuation of Guardians great service.
