Just a bunch of stuff... table legs (Floyd Detroit), humidifier (was on sale at Amazon), car stuff, some camera accessories... etc. Maybe about $1000 total if that...
Nothing really worth a whole lot of money, but all stuff I have actual use for, and it's just a hassle to get them here as I wouldn't know what to do with the one I have in the US if I do buy them in Canada.
Since the trip to US for business is inevitable, I thought it's an option. I've done trip down to SoCal cannonball style several times already (only stopping for food at drive-through and bathroom stop). NorCal is 6hr shorter drive. Driving doesn't bother me and in term of Covid contact is no worse, if not better than go into SFO and fly back.
No real difference in cost either... the only cost is the time and whatever lesson I'm going to get from border agents when I get back. So, I'm seeking alternatives. Ideally some commercial services that pick up stuff in WA and haul them back and have spaces on their truck. So they'd pick up "the cargo" and bring them over and I pick up this side of the border.
