Caeruleus: I have no idea who the local partner was. I suspect it may change from time to time anyway. Wi-Can was a Canadian-Chinese owned business that specialized in shipping between Canada and China.
Also important to note that the shipping charge was door-to-door but would be extra if we didn't have an elevator at this end - and we didn't. It cost an additional 500 RMB to get the 46 heavy boxes carted up 6 floors but I could not have done it myself so that was OK by me.
Cars with no plates can be legal. When you buy a new car you have 30 days to register it. The only way the police can catch an unregistered car is to stop it for some reason. These guys can run the red light cameras all they want and never get a ticket!
We used Wi-Can International in Scarborough, Ont. Cost was $2,450 (I looked it up).
We moved in February of 2010. There was no damage to contents but a few cardboard boxes got beat up. We did have some fragile goods but we took care packing them and they were all properly labelled.
Don't know about economical. We had a lot of things moved from Toronto and had to pay for a half container at a cost of about $2,600. They picked up the stuff and loaded the container at their warehouse. It took about 4 months to arrive!
I'm not sure this is actually a competitor site. The Kunming government has a responsibility to encourage and develop new sources of investment and tourism. In this new site they are simply doing their job.
It's possible they may have access to information that would not be immediately available to GoKunming, and vice versa, so the two sites could actually be complementary rather than competitive.
As for their skill with the English language, so what if it's not perfect. It's way better than my knowledge of the Chinese language and in general I can understand what they are trying to say.
Had my first ever visit to Slice of Heaven last night for a group party. Barbara recognized me as a newcomer and immediately came to welcome me and introduce herself.
While speaking with her at the counter, a server walked past with a pizza for one table. The aroma immediately caught my attention. It was awesome.
Our group shared 4 different pizzas. All were amazing. I think the sauce really makes the difference since it was very flavourful. I also put back to cups of cappuccino. I guess they must have fixed problems noted in other reviews because I found it to be quite good.
