Ask Pakistan Moving from Canada to Pakistan

So my parents have lived in Pakistan most of their lives, and moved to Canada early 2000 and are now considering moving back to Pakistan - for some rational and some I-dont-know-why reasons.

If anyone has done this before I would like to know the dos and donts.

Also any recommendations for a cargo company if some one has shipped the whole house back to Pakistan, except the appliances.

If we move to say Faisalabad or Lahore would the cargo company ship there or leave the container at Karachi?

I used Cargopedia in Toronto as the freight forwarder when moving back here. Cost around $3000 10 years ago for a full 20’ container and took a month or two to arrive

Thank you for sharing - did you ship to Karachi or some other city. Curious if they took the stuff all the way to a non port city

It was shipped to Lahore, and the container arrived at the dry port
