Any Canadians on here using any of the pick up locations that give you a "US address" that you can ship to?


They let you save on shipping and brokerage fees by driving across the border to get your stuff.


Pricing looks almost too good to be true. Have any of you used them, and if so, how did it work out?

 

I use it all the time.
I mostly use the one just over from Gananoque but used the one in Port Huron once because I bought some pesticide that couldn't be shipped to NY State.
$5 per package no matter what the size.
The one I use is 2 minutes over the border and run out of a building supply lumber yard.
I don't use it as much now since our dollar went in the toilet but half the parts on my bike were shipped this way. Free US shipping on most things and no brokerage fees from the couriers who deliver to canada.

 

Most border UPS stores have the service, put your name and phone number on the package, plus the store address, they call you when they receive it. $5 for small, $10 for medium, and not sure about the rest. I see set's of vehicle tires in there sometimes. Then just declare at the border, sometimes you win, sometimes you pay, depends on the cost of the items. There's other places also(Parcel Donkey, etc), but I use UPS.

 

Here is the link to the service I have been using

I've used CBI USA many times without issues. $6 US a package. They might now charge extra for oversized packages. They have a couple of locations in Niagara Falls not too far from the border. You have to register with them first.

 

Ship Happens in Blaine, WA works great for me. $5 flat fee.

 

Try this place $2 a package, open 7 days.
