How much are you planning to ship? Full containers? A couple of boxes? Just go on 411.ca and look for Freight Forwarders. You'll find a lot, Generally speaking you'll pay about $75 - $90 USD per cubic metre (there's a way to calculate it - I think it's LxWxH/1000000 for centimetres IIRC), depending on your port of loading/destination. There's usually a minimum charge too, usually about 2 CBM, so it be wise to use that fully. There'll also be 'other' charges that'll be added in. Handling charges (on both sides), security surcharges, fuel surcharges, NAVCAN... Some of these charges are a flat rate, and some a calculated based on weight of shipment. Oh and don't forget duties... :cheesygri
