我们7月底登陆卡城，现在一般的衣物已经收拾的差不多了！但是还是想多带点东西过去，毕竟多拿点东西到那边心里就不那么慌了！可是有规定一人只能托运3件行李（2大1小）我听朋友说可以办理海运，想请教下办过海运的朋友，具体的程序是什么啊！！！！！！！！！
十分感谢！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

In China now everything is so expensive. I never suggest anybody to ship stuff by sea. It is costly and you will find it really unnecessary. For example clothes and shoes in China can't fit here's weather. Shoes bought in China can't last long as the shoes here. Here you can buy good quality stuff in cheaper than China.

Sorry, but are we in the same Calgary? The clothes here are conspicuously more expensive than in China. I did some window-shopping here and found that the shoes here were all made in China. What is ironic is that some shoes are just the same as the ones exhibited in supermarkets in Shanghai, probably churned out in the same sweat workshop. So I highly doubt whether they can last longer than their Chinese counterparts. But if you are talking about Nike, Adidas, well, it's true that they can last longer.

Above being said, I still agree with 醉酒当歌 on that shipping by sea is not a good idea. Bring clothes and electric appliance you have with you.

Lady's shoes are cheaper and prettier in China.

有就带过来， 没有别专门买了。

回复: 7月底登陆卡城・！请教老移民！

I agree with 醉酒当歌, because I bring some shoes from China, I find it is not very useful here. The shoes bought here are comfortable and of high quality. Maybe you bring some necessary stuff but not too much.

新移民刚来如果没有工作，建议能带的还是带上，毕竟只出不进的滋味是很难受的

Agree!

If your staff is not very heavy, you can ask post office in China.

Long time ago, my parents asked the local post office to ship three boxes of cloth and books for me, and each box is around 50 cm3. It didn’t cost lots of money at that time, but it took one and half month from China to Vancouver.

我是4月份到卡城的，和搂主一样，感觉飞机能带的东西太少，所以也选择啦海运，不过我想提醒一下，海运可真不便宜，我们一共是11个立方，运了两套三件组合的沙发共6个箱子，沙发的空余我们放啦三个小轿车（连座带后备箱）拉的东西（衣服、鞋等），运费在中国付拉16000，在卡尔加利到家一共又花啦600多加元，我感觉运费和货物价值等值。幸亏我老公的公司是给他报销的，这要花我自己的钱还不如扔啦再买。这边的衣服和鞋都很难看，不过如果不太讲究能买到便宜的。

开始来的时候我也与你想法一样。但是，一旦你仔细观察，就会发现
这里的人都穿那些品牌的服装，比如Adidas, Nike, New Balance, Columbia, etc. 为什么呢？因为这些服装，比如夹克，质量极其好，而且防雨，而且比国内便宜（国内假货太多）。就是上班办公室的人，也穿这些衣服。当然国内的衣服也有质量好的，但是质量好的，价格不便宜，不如在这里买，而且自己感觉不out.

这里衣服与鞋适合这里的气候。我现在国内的服装都不喜欢穿。

What is ironic is that some shoes are just the same as the ones exhibited in supermarkets in Shanghai。穿过你就知道了，国内的皮鞋在这里不耐盐，很快就坏，但是，这里的鞋肯定耐穿。当然，不要再Walmart，也不要再superstore买。

国内可以带一些Tommy的衬衫，以及质量好的衬衫，但是很多国内的洗过缩水，我还是喜欢这里的简洁大方。来了这里买Columbia等品牌的夹克就不错。皮鞋要在这里买可以防盐。运动品牌的都是这里的好，而且没有假货。

以上我的建议适合男士。

回复: 7月底登陆卡城・！请教老移民！

十分感谢大家的建议！！看到有这么多热心的同胞 我很高兴，心里热热的。我前年去CALGARY的时候在一些MALL里面转的时候看到那的鞋子很多都是MADE IN CHINA 价钱当时好象就是75左右的CAD 是比国内的贵些，但是是不是质量要好些呢？衣服我感觉比较适合我的身材，在国内我衣服不好买我块大个也高，我当时觉得衣服不贵（我也不买多好的）。我去了还要上学的，我在国内才大学毕业。

你运的东西真是不少啊！我只是说想再多运些日用品，什么家具啊车啊什么的都不运。运车过去我觉的还不如过去再买 除非是好车！

回复: 7月底登陆卡城・！请教老移民！

觉得来不需要带什么，带也带不了那么多，这边什么都有

回复: 7月底登陆卡城・！请教老移民！

国内东西当然还是便宜，质量也越来越好 （主要指衣物），只要会挑。我因为经常回国，穿的基本都是国内买的。海运就是把东西拿到邮局去寄，选择海运。 在加拿大入关时，要告诉海关的人，后边还有东西运过来 （他们会主动问你的）。这样，以后取货时不会要你交关税。
重的，体积大的东西就没必要带啦，这边确实什么都能买到。

回复: 7月底登陆卡城・！请教老移民！

我全是海运的，家具比较值。海运故事写不完。大的好多东西很方便，刚来不工作，全靠这些，包括日用品。自己一个集装箱，运费2600美金，当时在这里只能卖很贵的床垫两个吧。我是毫不犹豫选海运。

回复: 7月底登陆卡城・！请教老移民！

我告诉海关还有两个集装箱，可是现在还没有机会弄。希望十年之内不过期。

The custom told me after the landing, only the first two years shipments are tax free.

But I was told that there is 10 years term when I landed at Ottawa. Since new immigrants have no time to go back to fetch it....

We should confirm this after...again....

Well, since you are talking about Adidas, Nike, New Balance, Columbia, etc., you got me there. But I have no inclination towards these brands so far. I still stick to the sweat-shop-wears so far and I feel quite comfortable inside them since I'm a morally corrupted bastard who pays no attention to the human rights in China.

I prefer urban wears so these famous brands' clothes don't attract me much. I love hip hop hoodies, for instance. But Nike will never produce hoodies like that. But I do appreciate their shoes though I've never worn them. But I've a pair of K-Swiss shoes which, though I have never put on, I still can feel the superiority over the sweat-shop counterparts.

But I can't quite catch you in the saline resistence stuff about the leather shoes. Why do leather shoes have to be resistant towards salt? My uncle (he's a local by the way) bought two pairs of leather shoes when he travelled to China and feel quite contented with them. He complained that the local ones have leather soles and are too slippery.
