Transparent Pricing
Every shipment is different — your cargo, your destination, the time of year, the carrier's space. So instead of misleading "starting at" prices, we give you a firm number based on your actual shipment.
The carrier rate from your port of loading to your port of discharge. We book through major lines to find the best rate for your route.
If we pick up from your address in Canada, we factor in the trucking cost. If you drop off at Oakville, this is $0.
Loading, lashing, securing, container seal — RoRo or container, whichever suits your vehicle and route.
House Bill of Lading, CBSA export declaration (CERS, which replaced the retired B13A form) where required, commercial invoice, packing list.
Carrier liability is capped far below your vehicle's value. We don't sell insurance; arrange all-risk marine cover through a licensed broker and we'll give them the shipment details.

Firm price by email, valid for 7 days. One click to accept.
Deposit: 30% to secure your sailing slot. Balance due at loading, before your vehicle sails.
Payment methods: Credit card, Interac e-transfer, wire transfer. Quotes are shown in USD with the CAD equivalent alongside; charges are processed in CAD.
Cancellation: Before your vehicle reaches our Oakville warehouse: full refund of your deposit. After warehouse intake but before it is loaded onto the vessel: the deposit is retained to cover documentation, inspection and unwinding the carrier booking. After it is loaded onto the vessel: non-refundable, because the ocean freight has been paid to the carrier on your behalf and cannot be recovered. Full terms.
Quote validity: 7 days. Carrier rates can shift quickly, especially during peak season.
