Shipping full interior from Miami to Vancouver, BC/Seattle?
Hey guys,

I'm looking to have a full interior shipped from Miami to Vancouver, BC or Seattle, Washington (residential) and am wondering if anyone has had any experience with this?

The seller is willing to ship to Seattle via Greyhound but I am unable to pick up the packages from the Greyhound depot(picking them up from greyhound same day would be near impossible). I have a residential address in Seattle that can be used, however I understand the cost of shipping via FedEx/UPS to a resident is significantly more expensive ($800+). Ideally, it would be preferred if the items could be mailed to Vancouver (Shipping depot or residential address) as that is where I reside.

If anyone has any suggestions or experience with other shipping company's , your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Pardon my ignorance if there's something i'm missing but why can't you pick up the items from the Greyhound depot but you can pick them up from a residential address?

It is my understanding that Greyhound does not store/hold items and since I live in Vancouver, it would be very difficult for me to get down there on the day of arrival. I have family in Seattle so having them shipped to a residential address would allow me to pick them up on the weekend.

They have to store them for at least some time, they can expect people to be camping out there waiting for their item to arrive. Sure they may put some pressure on you but I would ASSume they would "hold" it for you. They're not gonna throw it in the garbage after 3 days.
