UPS Mailbox services
« on: September 22, 2008, 05:04:32 AM »
You must have seen all those great online deals but can't get them because they dont ship to Canada or even if they do, the advantage of the deal is taken off due to the duties and taxes? And if you get a PO Box in US, most of the deals wont ship to a PO Box address. They need an actual US street address !!! Here is a way to get around that problem....

Use the UPS Mailbox services offered by the UPS Stores. Find more details here...

I took the 1 year service for a small mailbox and it cost me only 156$ + 10$ (USD). You get a 24 hr. access key and a mailbox key. Those big deliveries will be held for you to collect if you call in advance. Only things they dont take are Appliances and stuff like that, which wont go through their front door.

I looked into setting up an account like that but found a much cheaper option. Check out www.kinek.com They have locations at most of the major border crossings between Canada and the US where you can have your online orders shipped to. As soon as your order arrives they send you a text message and email letting you know its there. They only charge you a few bucks for each pacakge, the one I use only charges $3, but some charge $5 or a bit more.

The one I use is on Wellesley Island, NY www.kinek.com/anchordev but Kinek also has locations in:
Calais, Maine (www.kinek.com/johnsons)
Derby Line, Vermont (www.kinek.com/normanjensen)
Richford, Vermont (www.kinek.com/wetherbys)
Champlain, New York (www.kinek.com/bordermail)
Niagara Falls, New York  (www.kinek.com/lewiston)
Detroit, Michigan (www.kinek.com/computingexpress)
Marine City, Michigan (www.kinek.com/fbpackage)
Pembina, North Dakota (www.kinek.com/redriver)
Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan

I heard about them at www.shiptotheborder.com. You register for free with Kinek, choose your location, and then order your packages like you normally do, but send it to the shipping address they provide you with.

I've saved tons shipping to these places!

These are really great services, and I think the cost is just reasonable considering that shipping really costs a lot.
