Shipping from Landing Port to Door

[wilddog]

My first batch of product will be shipping out from China soon and landing in Vancouver Port. It will arrive as an informal entry, which requires no brokerage.
Does anyone have experience organizing shipment from landing port to door as I live in Ontario?
At the moment I'm assuming I need to discuss with a freight forwarder in the Vancouver area.

Exactly. Just get in touch with your forwarding agent and provide them with the respective documents (packing list, proforma invoice).

Make sure that you have the original B/L (or copy in case of a telex release) before the shipment arrives and send it to your forwarder to authorize them to pick up your shipment at the port upon arrival. That way you'll avoid additional storage fees.
