    Canadien boarder mailbox services

    Anybody got any experience using a Canadian mailbox service near the border? The German company I buy my French car parts from doesnt wanna send shit to America anymore for various reasons. So, Im looking set up a mailbox somewhere in canada near 1000 islands Bridge crossing. If anybody has any experience doing this, Id love to hear from you.

    You're talking about the historic "Canadians need US mailing addresses" services. M2711c is looking for the opposite: "I live in a third world country [as you correctly pointed out] and need a Canadian mailing address".

    Maybe a business opportunity there for people who live close to the border on the Canada side.

    Yeah the Canadian market is numbers wise like the size of California and its almost impossible for a company to visit/ service everywhere, and shipping it over the 49th was expensive so people would buy things and ship em to the border and thats how/ why America had mail services a nice little business fast forward to when Muh presidnet sez we donot need anything from Canada and it should be the 51st anyway so its elbows up and all that stuff canadans are not crossing the border or buying american cuz of the tariff thing so no mailboxes are needed down across the line.

    Whom in their right mind would deal with America right now certainly not the chermans ?

    Who in there right mind would open a mail box outlet in Canada for America, what happens in 3.5 yr ?

    what mfg business anywhere in their right mind would come back to America ?

    is any busines oputoonity going to be there in 3.5 yrs ?

    it must be at the aldergrove or abotsford crosssing 20 ish years ago at a crossong or 2 east from the main at peace arch or douglas I went across and the whole fucking place was shut down I mean gas stations & stores with weeds growing outa the lot like some dystopian movie

    If you lived near Fernie I'd do it for you.
    I will also be comfortable going to any of the western states nearby, I'd rather go to them than any of the Canadian or US big cities.

    If this was gonna be a one time thing, I’d be happy to take you up on that generous offer. But I have a feeling this little French car is gonna need a lot of parts on a regular fucking basis. And it’s only about an hour drive up to the border for me. I think I might be able to just set up a box at the UPS store. If Nothing else it’s a good excuse to go for a drive through the thousand Island areas in the summertime.

    Think about waking up some morning and some fucking idiot ( your president ) is telling Canadians on the CBC that the gulf of Mexico is now the gulf of America and BTW Canadians are all gona be Americans when it becomes the 51st state ?

    Which should be no problem becuz everyone wants to be American right excpet from what i read americans dont want to tbe americans ?

    Americans are just laughing cuz they all laugh at Trump but how would that play if it was Putin making the announcement about america ?

    Have you seen the size of his ass? I tend to doubt that one cap would be a sufficient quantity to achieve your goals.

    m2711c, do you have a relationship with any of the ski shops in Ontario? Sorry, it's been a while and I don't know any but for the most part they were cool BITD, maybe you could get parts shipped to them?
