Shipping to the US Boarder For New Brunswickers

anyone ever hear of VIP ...something in Presque Isle ?

 

I know of VIP in Calais, Me. But have never been to the Presque Isle one

 

^ yah same here, i had a set of tires put on there once. its actually a pretty sweet store,the whole thing is like a canadian tire automotive section lol.

 

Yeah, they installed my 5100s a few weeks ago. Did a pretty good job, a lot cheaper than i expected. I'll have them add my 1" block, driver side spacer, and put on my Duratracs in the next couple weeks. Where in NB are you?

 

^right on, im a half hour outside SJ in Welsford. theres a couple places in the city that do lifts and shit but i havent heard to much about them. theres that new ultimate offroad and grove auto to.

 

Nice nice.. Maybe I'll see ya around the city or something. I've already seen a few nice Tacomas. I just moved here a couple weeks ago to attend NBCC.

 

^ yah there is a couple of real nice 2nd gens cruisin around. yah i might see ya around, im going to be going back to nbcc in january for my 4th block. i might even be there sooner then that we got the job for that huge expansion they got goin on.

 

Sounds good, i'll be scanning the parking lots come then haha

 

Can anyone tell me how things work when you cross back into Canada? Can you cross right back to Canada within a few hours and bring any $$ goods that have been made in usa/Mexico? Is it true no duty $ if goods are made in usa/mexico, just pay gst? thanks

 

^^check out this site, it is about the Canada/US Border Laws. hope it helps

Vip is a sweet store gotta go to the one in calais to look for some lights

 

I'm heading to Calais towards the end of next week, picking up a parcel at C&E Feeds.

 

I have done a few phone calls and finally got someone in Presquile,Maine.
The business is called Storage Solution.I have talk with Shawn and you can reach im at 207-764-5438.He will accept the parcel and store it till you come and get it.He gave me a estimate of 25$ for one week for a space 5'x10'.


hope this will help someone

I have done it half a dozen times this year. Been in the states for about 15 min each time. You can buy whatever you want, you just have to pay duty on things not made in North America and you need to pay GST. Just find out where things are made first, calculate your gas used for the trip and you can make an informed decision on whether it is worth your while. You are going to pay GST if you buy it in Canada anyway so i don't normally factor that in.

I bought tires, wheels and shocks.

 

thank you for the info...I just recently found out about these shipping outlets at the US border! Wish I'd known sooner...

 

Another NB'er (Freddy) here.

You guys should check out https://www.kinek.com/ they have shipping points all along the border. They give you an address to ship to with your account # in it and you just go pick it up. I have heard good things.

 

Still looking for some drop point along the NB's north-west side.I come up with a location in Van Buren ,Maine.Just across St-Leonard.3$ a box .The place is called Ezzy's music shop.

I wish I were closer. The gas from Halifax to the border would kill any savings though.
