    I just wanted to let those of you who might be considering moving a vehicle that I'm now with Livingston International, Canada's premiere Vehicle Transportation company (AKA Searail)

    If you're moving out of province, importing/exporting a car, purchasing or selling a car out of province or from abroad contact me for info on procedures and pricing. We specialize in long-distance moves using primarily rail and truck.

    You can follow the link in my signature to get more info or even get a free quote as well. For Vortex special pricing, you've gotta contact me directly

    That is awesome so now Vortexers can get that rust free car from the US without having to go get it.

    Awesome news Mark! Always good to have a vortex friend in a needed business. (you know like if anyone needs appliances )


    Any idea what say 'ball park' price would be on a boat 20-23ft, from say California, Arizona or Texas?

    The largest boat collections and best deals all seem to come out of those states.

    shh, that project is top secret

    To anybody looking to move a car, send me an IM with some specifics, year/make/model, point of origin as well as final destination. FWIW, it's cheaper to have the vehicle picked up at a rail or trucking port vs. home delivery (for those looking to save a few bucks), unless you want the VIP treatment then giver'

    And yes, we move boats, trailers, pretty much any vehicle. As well, if you're with an organization that moves vehicles around shoot me a message, I'd love to talk to you about some of our solutions.

    Cheers.

    Hey, it would appear I'm having issues with the IM system, a few of you sent me requests for quotes and I can't find them in the history. It also appears that those I tried to contacted didn't get my IM either. In which case, rabbitation and jonny24 please email me your requests. Thx

    mangeli at livingstonintl.com

    For the rest of you, hope to have something ready soon.

    already got a few quotes sent out, hope to have the rest soon. Thanks for your patience. With the low euro I'd expect more of you to be shopping and shipping dream cars back home to Canada!

    If you also handle deliveries within Ontario, we do sen cars and trucks to Thunder Bay and Sudbury and a few other places that escape me right now on a regular basis. We are not married to any one carrier except the ones that can accommodate our time lines and give us a competitive price. IM me if you want to discuss further as i do not want to post my cell number here.

    I got my crumpled car shipped by them a couple weeks ago. Everything went perfectly, the price was amazing (1/3 the price of my first quote, and $100 less then the next closest quote). pick up and delivery was exactly when they said it would be, bother drivers were awesome. No complaints.


    +1 to shipping with these guys.

    Free bump for a vortexer, you might wanna hit up other forums and address some issues, I hear you guys have a very tarnished rep for shipping modded cars not a personal jab just saying might want to look into it, especially if you can make some comission

    Unfortunately like in most service-based industries you're only as good as your crankiest customer and their last internet rant lol. And like most customers, very few ever praise for good service which in all fairness who can blame them, it should be the least you provide. I'm hoping that more of the vortex community that we have serviced will chime in and share their feedback.

    That being said, 'modified' vehicles aren't our staple since we have restrictions on what we can move with our equipment. And to be honest, yes accidents do happen, even in our business. What makes us different is how you handle it with your customer. That being said, we do move quite a bit of interesting stuff all over the world (I'll post pics soon.)


    If you can let me know what forums these are, I'd be more than happy to address the issues.
