Hi everyone!
I you’re like me and get frustrated when sites have free shipping to the USA but outrageous fees for shipping to us in Montreal, I’ve found a great alternative. This company called Kinek has drop-off points right at the US border that you can ship to. The account is free and they charge a small fee per item shipped. I just ordered a printer (26lbs) and the fee is only $10 US.
Since the border is really not that far (~1hr), it’s well worth it. It would have cost over $80 US to ship to Mtl.
Note that you’ll need a passport since you are crossing the border even if it’s just a half a km and you’ll need to declare it and pay taxes and duties which you would have to anyway even if you had shipped it directly to Montreal.

Thanks for sharing Pat, good to know! -Claudia & José
There is also another one that I think might be cheaper and nearby one Kinek service center: Freeport Forwarding, 1320 State Route 9, Champlain, NY, 12919
