SOO VAN & Storage began in 1956, as a charter member of UNITED VAN LINES (Canada) LTD. Our agencies worldwide, make UNITED VAN LINES, capable of handling relocations to and from anywhere in the world. Since the ISO 9002 system was introduced to UNITED VAN LINES (Canada), our SOO VAN ranking has been at or above the NATIONAL AVERAGE. SOO VAN was operated as a sole proprietorship until 1994, when 5 employees purchased the company newly re-organized as 1022169 Ontario Limited. The new owners brought their expertise in Management, Sales, Dispatch, Accounting, and Warehousing, to the business of moving and storage. Every facet is monitored by staff, who have a vested interest in maintaining and improving the quality and care in which every relocation is conducted. In 1995, SOO VAN moved into its own building and terminal at 165 INDUSTRIAL PARK CRES., SAULT STE. MARIE, ONTARIO. One block from the TransCanada Highway 17, it is easily accessed by the UNITED fleet of vans operating coast to coast. Our warehouse and terminal are inspected and approved by the GOVERNMENT OF CANADA, for the movement and storage of their employees relocating to, or moving from Central Ontario. Our warehouse is bonded, and as the ONLY crossing point along 1500 miles of UNITED STATES/CANADA boundary, we regularly deal with "SHIPMENTS IN BOND". Canada Customs visit our warehouse twice daily, at 10am and 2pm, Monday to Friday. Bonded shipments should be at our warehouse at 8am and 12 noon, to ensure clearances are completed prior to Customs visitations. MOVING AND STORAGE COSTS VARY, DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT AND DISTANCE. Our moving consultants can give a potential customer a reasonable cost projection in a matter of a few minutes, by calling our TOLL FREE telephone number 1-800-461-2213. (From anywhere in North and Central America) Domestic shipments are priced according to the weight involved, whereas OVERSEAS shipment are concerned with the VOLUME in cubic feet or meters.
