PSS International Releases Guide on Shipping Electrical Appliances to Canada

Aug 18, 2022

London, England -

August 18, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - PSS International, a Croydon, UK-based international removals company, has recently issued a guide on how people can ship their electrical appliances to Canada from the UK. This guide is helpful for those unaware of the differences in voltages and will explain whether it is worth shipping electrical appliances to Canada. The guide can be found here: https://blog.pssremovals.com/guide-to-using-uk-electrical-appliances-in-canada

The guide stresses the importance of understanding that the standard voltage in the UK is 240 volts while the standard voltage in Canada is 120 volts. Therefore, some products that would work perfectly well in the UK, may not be suited to the Canadian electrical system. Electrical appliances that are dual voltage, which are appliances that will work between 110-240 volts, can be used in both Canada and the UK.

A possible solution for using UK electrical appliances in Canada is to use a voltage converter, which can change the voltage to suit the actual voltage from electrical outlets. In general, a step-down converter will be needed in Canada as appliances that are 230 or 240 volts in the UK and will now need to operate at 110 or 120 volts in Canada.

Meanwhile, a good question is whether it is really worth bringing one’s large appliances from the UK to Canada. The guide explains that it may not be worth it for some products when considering the shipping costs and the cost of replacing those items in Canada. For instance, a TV unit from the UK is not worth the trouble bringing to Canada unless it is dual voltage. Laptops, on the other hand, are designed to operate for both 120 and 240 volts. The same would be true for UK game consoles. The general rule of thumb is that dual voltage appliances are worth shipping because they will only need an outlet adapter to make them work.

The good news is that PSS International Removals can ship appliances to Canada using their box shipping service. Liam Witham, CEO of PSS International Removals, says, “If you are looking to ship electrical appliances and other personal effects to Canada, we will be able to help. The company have been shipping to Canada for over 40 years and will be able to provide a great service for an affordable price."

PSS provide shipping services from the UK to several countries. In order to make it easier and more convenient for customers to estimate their moving costs, they offer an online cost calculator. This cost calculator will allow customers to receive a guideline price for shipping to Canada in less than 60 seconds. For a more accurate quotation, it is recommended that customers book a home survey or video survey with an international removals surveyor.

Established in 1982, the company have developed their overseas shipping service and prides itself on helping people move in an easy, convenient, and hassle-free way. Whether customers decide to move a few boxes or the whole household, including a car, they will receive help with documentation and customs clearance.

Putting skin recovery at the heart of beauty care

Putting skin recovery at the heart of beauty care

Skin recovery took center stage at a gathering of dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and aesthetic practitioners in Taguig City, where a discussion on barrier care connected skincare science with the experiences and professional interests of the medical community. Held on October 21 at the Intramuros Tent of Manila House Private Club in Bonifacio Global City, the roundtable discussion brought together the Pan Pacific Aesthetic Institute Foundation, Lamelex, Golden Visa Central and Manila House. Their collaboration provided a setting for scientific learning, professional exchange and conversations about opportunities beyond clinical practice. For the beauty discussion, the emphasis was on caring for the skin barrier, particularly after dermatologic and aesthetic procedures. Dr. Finesse Angelica Evangelista addressed this in her presentation, “The Science of Recovery: Optimizing Barrier Repair in Post-Procedure and Compromised Skin.” Her discussion underscored the importance of skin barrier integrity in supporting recovery. It also placed barrier-focused care within a professional conversation about the needs of skin following procedures or when its condition is compromised. That focus is central to Lamelex’s approach. The brand presented its multi-lamellar vesicle technology, a skincare delivery approach designed to support the skin’s natural barrier structure and in­gre­­­­d­ient delivery. Its professional skincare offe­rings combine formulations and protocols intended for barrier-focused care. The technology formed part of the brand’s showcase, which included professional skincare products, testers, merchandising and educational materials. These gave participants opportunities to explore its approach to skin barrier care alongside the scientific discussion. Medical professionals also received product kits for further exploration and evaluation in their respective practices. Catherine Andres-Gamo, chief exe­cutive officer of Pretty Skin Lamelin Philippines, expanded the conversation from products to advocacy. Sha­ring Lamelex’s commitment to scientific education, skincare innovation and collaboration with the medical community, she encouraged participants to become skin barrier advocates. Her message called for greater awareness of barrier-first skincare in clinical practice, linking the brand’s educational efforts with the professionals who assess and care for patients’ skin. The evening brought that advocacy into direct conversation with dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and other aesthetic practitioners. The foundation, meanwhile, provided a platform for professional exchange within the aesthetic medical community. Manila House hosted the gathering, bringing professionals from different fields into a shared setting for learning and relationship building. Alongside the skincare discussions, Golden Visa Central founder and president Vicky Luis introduced international investment opportunities and wealth diversification. Her presentation offered participants perspectives on long-term financial planning beyond their clinical work, extending the evening’s scope to their broader professional and personal interests. The gathering linked these different areas through partnerships among the foundation’s leadership, Golden Visa Central, Manila House and the Lamelex team. Each contributed expertise to a forum that combined clinical interests with opportunities for professional growth. For Lamelex, the continuing direction is to build its community of skin barrier advocates through scientific education and continued collaboration with medical professionals. The roundtable provided one setting for that exchange, bringing its products, technology and barrier-care message to practitioners who could explore and evaluate them for use in their respective practices.

Jewelry for every side of a woman

Jewelry for every side of a woman

Jewelry passed from mother to daughter carries more than gemstones and gold. For designer Kristine Dee, it also holds the stories behind each piece, including her mother’s purchase to celebrate a hard-earned business deal. Those personal connections inspire “Modern Heirloom,” one of three chapters in “The Woman Within,” her collection exploring the different sides of a woman through fine jewelry. Its three chapters, “Modern Heirloom,” “Quiet Strength” and “Playful Femininity,” move from sentiment to assurance to joy. Each reflects a side of a woman that Dee has observed in her clients and herself. “They try out other styles which are not their usual, and the choice follows their emotions, what they felt at that time, how that particular jewelry piece made them feel when worn. Each capsule collection shows the different versions we, as women, find ourselves in.” For “Modern Heirloom,” Dee draws on her mother Elizabeth’s practice of passing jewelry to her daughters, along with the memories behind it. Among them is a piece Elizabeth bought after closing a business deal she had worked hard to secure. “It is not just the piece that she shared, but the story that comes with them,” Dee says. That sense of continuity takes shape in classic gemstones and versatile designs. Multicolored sapphire and diamond necklaces hang from substantial gold-ball chains. A pearl necklace features diamonds and a detachable kunzite centerpiece, allowing the wearer to move between dressier and more casual looks. “Quiet Strength” turns toward architecture, emphasizing line, proportion and structure. Smooth gold surfaces, curves and carefully placed diamonds give rings and cuffs their presence. Dee’s background in industrial design informs this attention to form and how a piece sits on the body. “Each millimeter matters,” she says. A softer mood emerges in “Playful Femininity.” Mint tourmaline, pink spinel and diamonds appear in linked elements that sway with the wearer, while a coordinating ring allows for stacking. Elsewhere, a hand-carved mother-of-pearl ribbon flows into waves of rubies and diamonds. Across the collection, gemstones are set in 14-karat and 18-karat white, yellow and rose gold. Many designs bear the names of loyal clients, relatives and friends, extending the personal connections behind the jewelry. For Dee, their place is in everyday wardrobes. Statement necklaces can accompany a tank top and jeans or a dress, while rings and cuffs can be layered to suit the day. “The best way to style fine jewelry for a woman is based on her lifestyle and personality, so she can reach for them day after day, comfortably and confidently, and wear them in more ways than one.” The collection is available at the Kristine Dee showroom in BGC, Taguig City, with resizing and customization offered. A Power Plant Mall pop-up runs from Nov. 7 to Jan. 28, 2027, bringing the collection’s expressions of memory, strength and joy into women’s daily choices.
