Hi,

Anyone shipped a car out of Vancouver, Canada direct to Aus?

Thanks

I did look at it about 2 years ago but I think it was the price and lack of people that had done that before that put me off it.  I ended up getting the car across the border into LA (not the easiest bit of paperwork) then shipped out of LA. Had to prove the car was only transiting through the US and not staying there.

What are you looking at in Canada? beware the salt damage.

Can't help with shipping info out of Vancouver, but if you can get it over the border into Oregon then you can ship out of Portland or further down into California you can ship, out of Hayward in San Fran or finally down to Long Beach LA. So if you can't get a deal out of Vancouver, then get a border crossing quote and some road freight prices down to any of those southern ports.

Thanks for the info, I thought as much. Do have a shipper in LA, but cost of transport down to there has to be factored in.
