FAQs

Shipping from Belfast to Canada — the local picture

Belfast is in Northern Ireland — your collection crosses the Irish Sea before the road leg down to our Hounslow base beside Heathrow. We collect from your Belfast door and bring everything to our warehouse beside Heathrow, where all Canada shipments are consolidated and flown out — so you handle none of the freight side yourself. Because it is a long collection leg, allow a day or two more than a southern pickup when you book — the further from Heathrow we are collecting, the earlier we like to have your collection slot.

Once we collect, your shipment travels to our Heathrow warehouse, goes through our checking process, and is handed to the airline for departure on the next available service — typically a few working days from door to departure, subject to space and flight availability.

Belfast is a major university city too — if you are sending belongings to Canada from Queen’s University Belfast or Ulster University at the end of term, book early, as term-end is one of our busiest windows.
