    Hi all,

    I'm looking to have a Laser War machine shipped from Surrey, BC to Kelowna, BC and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good, reasonably priced, shipping company to look after it.

    I tried calling NAVL with no luck, and the shipping contractor that won my shipping auction on uship.com is flakier than puff pastry so I need to find an alternative.

    Thanks a million in advance for any suggestions!

    Day & Ross (sameday.ca). I have used them in the past with no issues. Don't forget insurance!

    Great, thanks! I'll look into them right away.

    Reviving this thread.
    Been some questions and answers in our Canadian for sale thread, but this one can stick to shipping questions.

    I have had nice success with Manitoulin Transport for 2 or 3 games minimum already -

    Others use Day and Ross a lot and for years, (for me in Sask, Day and Ross always was a higher price to my town)

    Personally, I have never paid for lift service with Manitoulin, the drivers just use it regardless and I have never paid a fee (sometimes $75-100) for the liftgate. But I have tipped the driver a $20 for the help.

    Ask away if you have any more questions. LOTS and LOTS of pinheads ship.

    To echo northern dude, I imported a game from the states last month with Day and Ross via R&L. This was from Detroit to Calgary. I think I paid around 700 Canadian business to business.

    Pm me if you have any questions.
