How do my items get shipped to Canada?

We have two different shipping methods to use when shipping to Canada – sea freight or air freight. The chosen transit method will depend on your budget, the amount of goods you’re shipping and how quickly you want your items shipped. Sea Freight If you are looking for cheap shipping to Canada, sea freight is your go-to option! Sea freight’s affordable costs make it the most popular method of shipping among our customers. Your items are arranged onto a shared or exclusive shipping container, which is loaded onto our cargo ship to Canada for delivery. A great option if you’re shipping furniture or a large number of items. It’s worth mentioning that Sea freight is the slowest option out of the two so is perfect if you can afford to wait for your items. For example, the average delivery time for sea freight is 6 to 8 weeks. Air Freight Air freight shipping to Canada is the fastest way to get your items to their destination. It’s ideal if you’re shipping boxes to Canada or a large parcel and you need them to arrive quickly. We pack your items onto a commercial air carrier and will reach you in a matter of days. Air freight costs are priced based on weight of your items so can end up expensive if you’re sending heavy items.

How much does shipping to Canada cost?

Our services for shipping items to Canada are adjusted to suit your budget and time-frame, but there are three principal factors that will influence your overall shipping costs to Canada from the UK; load size, transport method and end destination in Canada. If you are looking for cheap shipping to Canada, sea freight is the recommended method as shipping costs from the UK to Canada are primarily estimated based on the dimensions of your load. By assessing your load via our online home survey, we can determine if you require LCL or FCL container shipping to Canada. If you choose Less Container Load, your items are loaded onto a shared shipping container alongside other Anglo Pacific customers’ and you will only be charged for space your goods consume within this container. Alternatively, it might be more advantageous for you to use Full Container Load, this is the assignment of a 20ft or 40ft container for your sole use and you will be charged a set rate based on which size shipping container you use. This is advantageous for very large loads, such as office removals, a whole home load and car shipping to Canada. If you send to Canada using air freight, expect to pay considerably more for this service as the bulk of your Canada shipping costs are calculated based on the WEIGHT of your items. With this being said, air freight is usually only used when a customer needs their items urgently and it is a small load, a box or two, or a suitcase, for example. Another contributing factor to the cost of shipping to Canada is the distance that your goods are travelling and how they are delivered upon arrival in Canada.
