Yvette · 04-26-2008, 12:29 AM

how is their service?
anything to watch out for?

JCo · 04-26-2008, 01:36 AM

I've used them for a few things. No problems so far.

KkSc · 04-26-2008, 02:45 AM

i do here!!

CaptChaos · 04-26-2008, 10:50 AM

I've used them quite a few times. They take C$ and US$. Not open on weekends. Good service.

323d · 04-26-2008, 11:10 AM

i use them, super friendly staff.. they let you uyse their phone, computers in case anything goes wrong..

make sure your name is an identical match to your billing /shipping address and everything should be fine

NeoChaser · 04-26-2008, 11:54 AM

I've been using them since 2002.

overall it's ok, but if ur item is shipped USPS. U better watch out....

I've had twice where they log in the parcel in properly, so they dind't send me
email for like a month... once i had to go down twice....

other than that, yeah friendly staff, cool dogs.

ehhhwik · 04-26-2008, 12:00 PM

i've used them b4 for non-UPS shippments and have been pretty good, but for anything UPS, i always get them to ship to the UPS warehouse in Bellingham, which is located 5 mins drive from Bellisfair Shopping Mall

jeho · 04-26-2008, 04:55 PM

there parcel logging is slow compared to Letter Carrier and other places in Blaine,WA...

they have really good service tho

323d · 04-26-2008, 04:58 PM

best to just track your package via UPS/fedex/usps website.. usually when the status is "delivered", it will take them a few hours to a day to log in.. I usually just print out my shipping tracking script, and then just pick it up at TSB

CaptChaos · 04-26-2008, 05:46 PM

A heads up to other e90posters, Canada Customs is now keeping track of parcels that get picked up in Point Roberts. Since the trucks have to go into Canada to deliver to PR, they are keeping track of recipient names. I'm just saying.

NeoChaser · 04-26-2008, 05:55 PM

I am not too sure how is that possible cause there are a lot of local residence
there as well. So I am not sure if the USPS truck driver has a list of ALL the parcel's
information ready to hand to the custom officer. That's quite a bit of work for
the $2 size parcels.

The only time i've herd any problem was the CBS threaten to call TSB on my friend to check.

323d · 04-26-2008, 05:58 PM

i dont think all parcels will be checked.. maybe those oversized ones would be.. I ordered rims/tires just last week.. I didnt even get an invoice from the vendor.. I went to the customs, told them what is was worth, and they searched online for it... Just be nice to them, and everything will be done smoothly... For example,, i only got charged half for my duty on my wheels, and i did not have to pay for the 20$ tire levy charge.

jeho · 04-26-2008, 07:47 PM

half the duty? u had to pay Duties on wheels ONTOP of TAXES?

you can ship items to there???? sounds so good...
I used to go bellingham once every week.....
I should check it out...... so you put their address instead your address?

charlie335 · 04-27-2008, 07:55 AM

i track all of my stuff online and call tsb the day it gets there. they tell me when the truck for the specified delivery company arrives and i get there when the truck gets there.

no point in lying to the customs... just pay your damn taxes and get on with it. if they catch you lying you'll be blacklisted, which means your car will be searched every single time for the rest of your life as long as you cross the border. just be nice to them and they wont hassle you. only charged me half of the tax for my wheels too.

me92 · 04-27-2008, 07:36 PM

i still prefer http://www.thelettercarrier.com/

323d · 04-27-2008, 07:42 PM

i used to use thelettercarrier too, but after losing 2 of my packages, i decided to use TSB instead. + TSB is near the gas stations, so i just fill up after i get my package..

Yvette · 04-28-2008, 04:39 AM

how much charge am i expecting for 1 set of wheels (4wheels)?

323d · 04-28-2008, 04:40 AM

u mean charge from tsb? It cost 6.00 usd or 6.60 cdn for a set of wheels.

no, wheels and tires will be 5 dollars usd each.

Yvette · 04-28-2008, 03:21 PM

so it doesn't matter if they are mounted?
mounted wheels/tire are still same price as wheels alone?
