FWIW I was quoted $500 CAD to ship a hydraulic massage table from Vancouver to Toronto with WestJet Cargo a month ago (two packages: 30kg, 104×63×24cm; 27kg, 79×100×29cm)~. My sister brought the table the other way with the cheapest land-based courier she could find, I believe it was a trucking company, and paid ~$700 CAD.
By air it was easy to arrange, it's there a day later, and can wait in their warehouse for up to three days free of charge. By land, it took a week and was difficult to arrange.
- o-__-o 7y agoWe used to ship things by air to the caribbean via american airlines all the time. I have fond memories of a child going to EWR cargo docks and dropping off a 55lb drum to send to the islands.
- mjthrowaway1 7y agoThanks for bringing back that memory! I had to ship a 55gal drum of my belongings to Dominica years ago. Almost forgot about that.
- rs23296008n1 7y agoDrums as containers makes perfect sense for smaller items yet I'd never heard of this form of transport for personal belongings. Thanks for the anecdote.
