When moving with Western Moving and Storage and United Van Lines, you always have choices. Like the choice to transport your possessions in one of our vans or via our shipping container service. Shipping container service is available on long distance moves of more than 700 miles (1,127 km) and is available in most major centers across Canada.
ExclusivityExclusive use of your own personal, sanitized container with your items separate from other shipments. These containers remain sealed from loading at origin to arrival at destination. By having your own container, your belongings are secluded from other shipments, preventing the chance of having items mistakenly mixed in.
Less handling & Better StoragePerfect for situations which require short-term storage, as your shipment can be stored at our container depots inside the container in which it was loaded. This allows you to store your possessions in a container for up to 30 days at no additional charge, and up to 90 days at rates much more affordable than traditional warehouse or self-storage options. Since the shipment is loaded and stored in the container, it does not have to be unloaded into a warehouse and then re-loaded onto a van. This means you save money and reduce the risk of damage to your belongings - sounds like a no-brainer to us...
