Hi everyone, my apologies if this isn't the right spot to post this. We've been getting quotes back from different companies, and have it narrowed down to two of them due to price. They aren't the cheapest ones, they're the middle-tier.

Has anyone ever heard of "Relocation Services Global" and "Fox Transport Canada"??

We looked online and couldn't find too much. Thanks in advance!

I used United Van Lines and they were excellent. Not cheap, but not over the top expensive either. (at least, not for our particular budget). Have not heard of the other 2 you've referenced.

Best of luck with your move.

Peace.

Yeah, we think we'll probably end up using them. Our stuff is in storage right now, we're moving in with my soon to be mother-in-law for a little while. It'll give us more time to save for them :)

Haven't heard of either of those. We are using UPack.

Unfortunately they aren't available in Halifax.

Thanks for the responses!

Upack and Ship Smart were not available in Kelowna BC either, that's why we went with a regular moving company. :)

I'm looking at different options as well and did a search though the BBB. Fox Transport Canada had a terrible reputation...
