I just meant in general, it really depends on what you are getting... like you can always say, i picked it up used off facebook, and make up some fake e mail saying how much you bought whatever item for to really cut down on taxes.


I never declare any of my shit for more then like $20. $800 Fishfinder? $20... M-Sport steering wheel and airbag? $20

yea, they are getting smarter, so it all depends on what you are getting.

I find that most things under $100 they usually let you go.

its a bit harder to get away if you have a trunk load of stuff, so I usually do something low, but still somewhat reasonable.

I've ordered stuff right off Amazon.com and CBP stills asks me for a declared value.

Anyone that's used CrossBorderPickups.ca ...

Were you able to select courier? i.e. UPS vs Canada Post vs Purolator, etc.

My package finally shows shipped after 1-2 days, using UPS.

You mean from Crossborderpickups to your Canadian address? I'd assume you could pick whatever courier you wanted, I always just go to their depot and get my stuff.

This whole experience so far is terrible. There are so many gaps in the whole process that I'm freaked the fuck out where my package is...

Latest update is I got an email saying it's shipped via UPS, which, I didn't get a choice to choose courier. That was Wednesday 11:30am, with a UPS tracking number.

As of now, UPS says they have zero tracking details other than a shipping label was CREATED.. FML ...

It's a fragile gift too \:\| \:\(

Update: they've lost the fucking order \:\|

I'm 'supposed' to get a call back from CBP today. Motherfuck ... UPS status hasn't updated beyond 'Yeah a label is printed, we'll update status when we get the package.'

No fucking shit...

I've been on the phone with the CBP lady 5 times since I've lost shipment... It finally arrived today, all in one piece. They ended up refunding me the $15 'processing' fee, as a gesture...

I'm not even sure if I would EVER use them again ... That being said, they now have a brand new pick-up centre in Markham (Warden / 407) \:\|

Yeah... their Contact Us page has a Markham address listed, but so far, other parts of their website (still) say to pick up in Mississauga

CBP has officially announced their Markham pick-up point.

Still a pretty penny to ship shit over from the US doe... (duties, brokerage, taxes, etc.)
