Moving back to Vancouver, Canada from Shanghai

Hi Canadians and All,

I am moving back to Vancouver, Canada from Shanghai.

Can anyone recommend a safe & affordable company to move personal goods back to Canada? This is not a whole-house move, but just a few extra boxes over my airline baggage limit.

Sea freight is okay, because I don’t need these things quickly.

Any recommendations?

I used Asia Tigers before - about 5+ years ago. They did 'door-to-door' - home packaging, no breakages - Customs clearance.
You can also 'google' "Movers, Shanghai" if you need more names. - get quotes - door-to-door is best.
Hope all goes well for the move and journey home.

By the way. If you know or meet any native English speakers back home - who would like to teach oral English to Chinese pupils - I have a vacancy for one teacher starting this month. I can give full details if they contact me -

So I do hope you enjoyed your time in China to recommend others to follow.
Many thanks and, again, safe journey home
