Any BC or Washington folk have suggestions on shipping parts from US? (Canadian)

[DriftDraft]

Good day fellow Mustang enthusiasts!

I am located in BC and looking to get some parts shipped from the US. Anyone have suggestions on a shipping box (can't be PO) or shipping service that will allow me to have the parts shipped to Washington so I can pick them up? Trying to save some money on shipping.

Thanks so much!

I used a store 1/2 mile on the US side of the border (Porthill, Id 83853) that did a good business charging $1 for every package that they held for a Canuck to pick up later. Ask around. I'm sure the US entrepreneurs are easy to find.

Depending on where in BC you are Port Roberts and Sumas both have P.O. box places you can get stuff shipped to using any carrier. I have a couple friends who have them and I think it's about $15 a month for the account. Plus a small fee when you pick the item up.

Hey thanks for the direction! I'm located in Vancouver. Used to have a UPS box in Blaine years back but haven't shipped anything recently.

Thanks for the suggestion! BMR needs a physical address (at least for free shipping) so, unfortunately, a PO box won't work.

Just google it, there's a bunch of places like this. It's what they do as a business.

You can’t use someone Adress here in the US and then have them ship them if they won’t ship direct?

Shout out to In/Out Parcel in Point Roberts....... Had my exhaust shipped there. Keep in mind that you may additionally get charged customs depending on how the agents are feeling.

They will ship to me. I'm just trying to save part of the $300+US it would cost to do so. Also planning on more parts, as well as shipping heads etc. in the future!

Good call! I know bringing anything up before was pretty hit or miss in general.

I’m in bellevue, it’s a trek but you could ship here and pick up whenever you want.

I'm trying out the In Out Parcel service this week (will report back for anyone else who comes across this thread), but I feel I should come down and buy you a beer sometime just on principle of that incredibly generous offer!!

For anyone who comes across this thread: In Out Parcel was a quick and painless service to utilize!
To everyone who weighed in: thanks so much!
