i wasn't sure what category to put this under so I hope this fits. I was wondering what services others are using for a US mailbox to have parts shipped to. Niagara Falls and Port Huron are both roughly the same distance for me so I don't really have a preference. Looking to find out which vendors are being used or any suggestions.
I know this isn't for everyone but the service I use is Cross Border Pickups. They give you an address in Niagara Falls, New York, and the order is delivered to that address. Once it arrives, they send you an email with the processing charges and then process the package through customs and bring it to an address close to the Toronto International Airport for pickup. So far its been a simple hassle free way to get my orders from the US.

that sounds promising. interesting.
a couple of times years ago when i was doing a bigger project of sorts, i would buy most everything at one time and have it delivered to a u.p.s. store just south of waterdown where i would rent a box for a month. they didn't have much room so i would make sure it all came in 2 days and then i would take my trailer and pick it up. it worked and screw u.p.s. delivering it up here.
i guess it would boil down to how much stuff at one time though. for smaller odds and ends i tell them to ship u.s.p.s. and if they won't or don't, keep shopping, someone will.

From Sarnia and recently relocated to Niagara Region. I used SCC for more years than I can remember in Sarnia and they are great. I use Port City Fulfillment in Kimball, Michigan for the really big stuff ( full frames and even an almost complete non running car once) and they are also unbeatable. Now that I am in Niagara I am using CBI and they are tops as well, absolutely no issues. With CBI I use the Nexus bridge (Whirlpool bridge and it is Nexus card holders only) and have never had to wait at all, zero hold ups. Rhys.
