What are the options for moving companies from Southern California to Vancouver? I know in the US there are a variety of ways to move, but I am not as familiar with the services available when you are going to a whole different country. Is it possible to do it for yourself? I might want to rent a truck and drive myself, so I am interested in any of the move it yourself options. Are there any problems with customs or declarations or things? I am sure there are companies that do everything for you, including all the paperwork, but I don't really have that kind of money. In the US there are also moving companies that will drop off a big metal container that you can pack and load for yourself. I need to move a three bedroom house, including our appliances. So something the size of one of those standard shipping containers would probably be just about right. How does the price for one of those you load it services compare with doing the move on your own? I am sure it is not as cheap as do it yourself, but is it still fairly economical?
