Looking to grab several things from the us but shipping to canada is very expensive as everyone probably well knows.
Just wondering if anyone knew of a company that has a US address close to the boarder who specifically receives packages for Canadian buyers?
Thought I herd about this some place before but cant seem to find any info.
Thanks.

I hear that Fedex covers brokeage fees.

UPS is more expensive to ship

This is for shipment direct to Canada

Nick, do a search for mailbox services. They offer actual addresses instead P.O.Box#'s.
For shipping from the US, I've always found USPS to be the cheapest way. You don't get nailed with brokerage. Never ship UPS.


edit: maybe something like this - http://www.mbe.com/ps/ms.html

Check out "US Address" on Witmer Rd. (in Niagara USA), literally two minutes from the Lewiston bridge.
I've used them a few times, great service.

Make sure you bring a receipt for customs on the way back. You don't want to have to pay duty on what they "think" the package is worth!

Hmmm... I think he stopped doing this a while back, as he has been burnt in the past.
