Cross border shopping - Blaine, WA
 

Has anyone ever used one of those "dropbox" type places in Blaine where you can have something shipped to them and then just go over the border to pick it up? I'm looking for somewhere that will let me use their address, not a PO box.

I use the blaine location all the time for shipping of car parts, never a problem and great service!

The place I use is Ship Happens in Sumas & they just have a regular address instead of a PO Box.

Don't know about which ones in Blaine offer a regular address but I know a few of them do.

.

Can you post or PM me the name/info. We're doing it for car parts too so that would be perfect! :biggrin:

My dad uses TSB shipping in Pt. Roberts.

Send Chin a message. He's used them for quite a while.

I use these guys. It is just on the other side of the 176 St border crossing.

That border is only 20 minutes from where I live, and usually mid week, early afternoon, lineups are pretty small. So I use it quite a lot. I rarely get charged tax at the Cdn border, only sometimes for large amounts, like 1K.

Cost is $3 a parcel. When ordering online, I just use my name with their street address for the shipping address. Then I watch the tracking online for when it arrives. Pretty painless.
