BC Residents Cross Border shopping in WA / Re: TireRack
« Last post by admin on August 24, 2010, 03:14:42 PM »
Can you post which website you purchased the tires from. Other people have indicated a lot of money can be saved by purchasing tires in the US instead of Canada.

I checked Costco but it looks to me like there is not much of a price difference at Costco.

BC Residents Cross Border shopping in WA / Washington sales tax exemption for BC resident
« Last post by vikramr on July 28, 2010, 07:56:30 AM »
Walmart Bellingham didn't charge me sales tax on July 25. Target had a notice that they will not exempt BC customer so I didn't shop there.

if you are aware of any other retailers still exempting BC residents please post it. thanks.

ON Residents Cross Border shopping in NY, MI, MN / Re: I got a text message when my package arrived at my NY shipping location

Yea, i've used one of their Ontario border KinekPoints too. I used them as my US shipping address when I ordered some parts for my boat. They've got border locations that you can use as your US shipping address in Port Huron (michigan), Buffalo (ny), Lewiston (ny), Wellesley Island (ny), Champlai) (new york), derby line (vermont), and calais (maine).

best part is getting the text message on arrival, don't have to check my tracking all the time.

BC Residents Cross Border shopping in WA / Live in the Kelowna area? Ship US orders to Oroville!
« Last post by mharb on May 28, 2010, 03:56:37 AM »
If you live in the Kelowna area and want to order from US companies that don't ship to Canada (or just want to avoid expensive Canadian shipping), there is a place in Oroville, Washington (right along the border) that will accept packages for you. As soon as your package they will notify you by text message and email and you can then just head down and pick it up when it is convenient for you.

The location was set up by the Kinek company and you need to register with them (free to register, you just pay $3 when you pick up your package). The border location is called Appleway Video and you can check them out at www.kinek.com/appleway. I heard about them over at www.Shiptotheborder.com

They've also got other border locations across Canada and tons all over the US that you can use while travelling there.

BC Residents Cross Border shopping in WA / Restaurant coupon suggestions and new coupon code
« Last post by donaldcarter55 on May 06, 2010, 11:45:41 PM »

I will be going to Vegas Nov 10-14 with my husband. We are staying 4 nights free and got pretty reasonable nonstop flights on Southwest. I have a rental car through Dollar for the entire time for a total of around $90. I am a bargain and coupon shopper and have already purchased coupons on restaurant.com at (50% off), Kahunaville, Blondies, Jillians and the Original Pancake House. They are running 50% again ( code # 99923), and I was wondering if there are any other restaurants that are worth getting coupons for. I would love to go to Commanders Palace for lunch, but that coupon is currently sold out

I use the kinek site at the ups store in Lewiston. Text and email me when packages arrive. Just visit www.kinek.com and put Lewiston NY in as your location when you register and they will show up as your shipping point. Fees are reasonable and they will also forward the package to Canada is needed via UPS.
