US Shipping Address for Canadians

[carmv4]

How would I go about getting a US shipping address? I know there is a service provided by a company called Ship Happens in the PNW but is there anything like that for Ontario residents. If there isn't is a PO Box my only other option? Thanks in advance.

Still makes you an ass-hat for calling him a clown.

ON topic. I ship to:

Your Name
9301 Ryden Rd.
Grand Portage, MN 55605

Close to where I live and they charge 3 dollars per package.

Leave him alone, hes from Iqaluit.. LOL

most UPS stores in buffalo/niagara falls do this its called "drop shipemnt" basically u send it to ur self @ their store, call the store ask for details how to address your package, they call u when they get it, at store i did it it was 15$/7days holding. i did it 3 days ago no problems.

[InFeXiOn]

Joe,

I shipped my packages to the Can-Am before calling them, because they weren't responding to my emails.

If I call Monday before they arrive, they'll keep them on-site until I arrive to pick them up, right?

Tried to catch them before they closed tonight, but to no avail.

[*trish*]

What can I do if I never travel down to the states?

Is there a service that will recieve my US online purchases and then forward them along to my Canadian address?

Last question. Is this sketchy?

[MikeyMadness]

Hi,

Freeport Forwarding
1320 Route 9
Champlain, NY
12919
518-298-8582

Same idea as above, use your name with that address, let them know (although that didn't seem entirely necessary). They charge $2 a parcel. Can't get much closer to Montreal than that!

Read through that thread and it'll give you some ideas. Post #10 might be what you're looking for.

It's not sketchy IMO, as long as you're not trying to import large quantities of heroin. You're not doing that, are you? ;)

This one is in Ogdensburg, NY. 1 hour from Ottawa.

There is also a UPS store in Ogdensburg, which happens to be open on Saturday, IIRC they will hold for 1 week, and costs $5 per package.

You could also get a mailbox, but it isn't required. (But if you're doing a lot of mail order shopping, it could save you money)

thanks so much mikeymadness -- i've meant to seach for this in the forums but I couldn't think of the right key words.

And no, all my heroin is smuggled in the intestines of unreasonably attractive south american girls, and accompanied by multiple cliche plot points.. :)

ABSOLUTLY....they haven't turned corporate just yet...phone him up and tell him like it is

[blackhawk]

Although I live about an hours drive from the border I have a USPS post office box but for companies shipping by courier I use a UPS store in a small town, they offer a receiving service main ly for canadians and charge a few bucks, they also accept from other couriers.

Check for one of these places and give them a call

Even if he was from Iqaluit (which he ain't) it still doesn't excuse the fact that he's an ass-hat. :lol:

Is there one of these for Detroit/Windsor border?
Hopefully in a decent area of detroit..

What about US shipping and pick-up address closest to Ottawa?
thanks!:)

[watchdogcatcher]

I presume you want to do this to get US prices without the hassle of driving across the border.

Thrift-seekers beware: most companies will not accept orders placed on a foreign credit card or a foreign IP address. Even if you clear it with your cc, these are automatic fraud flags in any major company and your order will usually be canceled :|

US Unlocked (http://www.US.onlocked.com) is an excellent service that recently started shipping to Canada as well. Every time you want to buy something in the US, register your shipment with them and you receive a unique US shipping address for your order. They receive it for you and consolidate your shipments (in case you have bought from more websites). They then send it to you at really good rates. You get it 2 or 3 days later.
If you do not have a US billing address, you can use their personal shopping service or (and I have not seen this anywhere else) their debit card with your own US billing address.
The US Unlocked account is free, no set-up fees. I have been using them myself and am very pleased.

Hmm. Thread resurrection, newbie poster, 2 posts, both about US Unlocked.

Not that I don't trust you, laura68, but can anyone else vouch for this service?

I just used this service for the first time today. Left Ottawa at 10:30, stopped for US cash at my bank, drove down 416, paid toll at bridge (UPDATE: $3.25 Cdn or $2.75 US), through US Customs, picked up my parcel at UPS store (not even 5 minutes from the bridge in a small mall with Price Chopper and Lowes) and was leaving Canadian Customs (after paying GST and PST on AmEx) at 12:38! Turns out I did not need US cash as UPS takes credit card payments ($5 for the parcel). Saved myself about $75 on Thule racks, and had a great fall drive as a bonus.

I used their services and I received the router bought on eBay in good conditions for a reasonable price. I thus recommend this "USA Address & Mail Forwarding - $8.50 per package" (http://forumscanada.com/index.php/topic,5.0.html) service:!:
