I've still been getting all my packages that way, just consolidate several packages into one

Borders not open yet, but as soon as it does, I'm outta here. I've signed up/subscribed to all kinds of places in Bellingham. I get updates from Fred Myer, Trader Joe's, casinos, lol. I keep getting these Jack in Her Box emails and I'm craving that US pink slime. I'll line up for hours. Order stuff and pick up at 24/7 Parcel. Did you know they are Canadian owned? Anyway............ I miss going down there for day trips.

I'm not sure about the others but package express is Canadian owned too
I remember the owner brought my packages thru customs, and let me pick them up at his house once, that was pretty nice of him, wish he maintained that service tho  (maybe he did I never asked)

I was forced to ship 2 things from P2P in Point Roberts at massive cost and just abandon 1 other because they refused to hold anything and charge massive storage fees. Assholes. Won’t be going back there after… stayed loyal even after the 24/7 opened but no more!

I feel for them | i can only imagine how full their buildings must be and what a gong show it's going to be once the boarders open up and everyone is rushing down there to pick up their shit.

I thought I had a year's supply of TJ's Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce, Tea Tree Shampoo, frozen products, etc...... wait, it's been over a year............. no wAnder. Haiyah!!
Actually, I still have a bit of shampoo left and I used up the last drop of the Carolina Gold on my BBQ'd corn on the cob last weekend. I still have one bag of TJ chinese flied lice (you plick) in the freezer. Fuiyoh!
It pays to be a hoarder, man. This pandemic has made it even more advantageous. Buying those boxes of N95 masks (genuine 3M N95) from Bellingham's Hardware Sales when masks were sold out in all of Canada saved me from purchasing masks at crazy high prices. I also ran out of those, as I was predicting this pandemic lasting about 6 months? I already had a good supply of TP, paper towels, bottled water, propane, etc. I'm preparing for the next disaster, gulolol.
Whole house generator/inverter, weapons (crossbow, swords, etc.), grenade and mortar launchers, etc. Turning the house into a fortress............... ok, need to take more ritalin.

Glad they haven't shut down or anything, I definitely have like 50 things I've been waiting to order once the border opens again.

With the gas prices hitting almost $2/L on 94, I wonder if it's finally worthwhile for me to make the 45min 1 way trip to get fuel now.
What are the laws for filling up jerry cans and bringing it back?

Good thing borders are closed, 'cause the Canadian dollar is tanking like the canucks (unintentionally).
Doesn't matter if our dollar was worth 50¢ on the dollar, I'd still go Trader Joe's. hee hee.

Anyone can recommend a service that forward parcel, particularly couriered documents--from Canada to US?
