Cross border shopping

Hey Guys,
Got this from RC forums. Might be a viable alternative. Check it out

Another one that we ( my brother Ivan and I) have used, just across the Queenston-Lewiston bridge.
No problem with large packages.

Works great for a group buy of lipos and large kits, just go over the border, pick the order up, pay the 13% tax to Canada Customs at the border and your off.

I've been using this one (also in Lewiston) for a few years. Makes sense if you're going that way anyway but has never saved me enough to pay for a "shopping" only trip. If I make a side trip into the US just to pick up RC goodies, I'm often not charged HST if the total is under $200 Cdn...usually the total is higher...

I've used Kinek many times and pick up just around the corner once you pass over the rainbow bridge.  Never had any problems.  That said you need to plan on a trip.  I've just place an order with HK with items from their US warehouse and decided to give the Cross Boarder Pickups" service a shot.  With some luck I hope to be able to pickup the stuff from the Mississauga location in a week or two.  Will let you know how it goes.

Hey Pete, keep us posted on how it works out with them. By all accounts they provide a good service, and I think you only have to go to Mississauga instead of Lewiston.
