I'm looking to ship from Calgary to Hamilton as well. I booked through TFX last week and now they are telling me it will be at least 3-6 weeks before they even pick up the car in Calgary. Who knows what the transit time will be after that.

If anyone else has any other suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

When the rail covers your car in rail dust, and scratches the inside and out to bits.....

You will kick yourself for the sake of $800

Exactly my fear. Just spent all my money on a dream car, not going to skimp on the freight to save a few hundred dollars. That being said, I ended up using Tailored Carrier Services out of Edmonton. If all goes well, the car should be here next week, nearly 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
