International student logistics experience sharing in Canada

I went abroad in 2005. At that time, there was no special international logistics company. It was carried by some international freight forwarding companies, which only provided port-to-port service. My family drove my luggage to the port for check-in procedures. Luggage items: sheets and quilts, changes of clothes all year round (8 sets totaling 15 kg), an acoustic guitar. Because they weren't anything particularly anxious, so they didn't go by air, but by sea. Then the next day’s flight to Vancouver, during which we will keep in touch with the freight forwarding company. The forwarding company will notify you the day before the luggage arrives at the port. Then I drove to the port to take the luggage. Of course, it was a bit stupid at the time. Actually, you can. Let the freight forwarding company mail it to the school for you after arrival, saving money and time. As for the cost, I will not share it. After all, it has been many years, and it is now in 2015. Ten years have passed, and prices are no longer on the same level. When I returned to China, it was 2010. At that time, there was a freight forwarding company specializing in international handling services. They provided door-to-door service very humanely. The cost is a bit high, but worry-free.
