Alaska Marine Lines

What a gem! These people are reliable, flexible and human!
This is a huge shipping company and eventhough we only had a couple of canoes, a raft and gear to ship up to Skagway, (minor in comparison to what else is shipped from here), the office staff and the people working on the site couldn’t have been more helpful and accomodating. They spent so much time with us. In addition, the cost was only one third of what other shipping companies and individuals had quoted. I highly recommend this company to everyone, and especially to Canadians who need to send stuff up to the Yukon. Skagway is only 180 km away from Whitehorse, so if you can arrange transport, it is still the best option.

I can’t believe nobody has reviewed AML.
AML may be my favorite company ever. They are hands down the nicest folks I have ever worked with. I moved out of Alaska to Seattle, then back to Alaska a year later and they handled both of my moves. For household goods, they are ridiculously affordable but even better they’re super flexible– on the move down not only did they let me put my last load on even though I was technically past the deadline, but they didn’t charge me for that load!
We left a bunch of our stuff in Seattle while we looked for a new place in Alaska, and so now that we needed our stuff shipped up my mom took it all down to the shipyard. She was in a bad automobile accident a few years ago and still has some chronic pain, and my dad also just slipped on the ice and tore a ligament in his knee. The guys at the shipyard handled everything for them, which was such a relief for me!
Around here, whenever I ask a business owner if they ship with AML, they look at me like I’m stupid and say, «Of COURSE!» AML has a huge community presence in Alaska and they are very well regarded.
I highly encourage anyone who needs to move things in and out of Alaska to use these guys– they are the real deal.
