  View original topic: Shipping TO the US/CAN Border

I searched and didn't find anything but hopefully someone here can give me a lead.

I'm hoping to ship a Besco trailer from Texas to the border where I'll then pick it up, and bring it across myself. For those that don't know it is a foldable trailer, small and light so it won't be shipped as a vehicle type thing but as a package.

I have heard that there are companies at the border that will hold items until pickup but I can't seem to find any info.

Any help would be appreciated, Jason

Did you try the Canadian boarder Cops ?
I learned a bunch just by calling the U.S. Boarder Patrol, cost me $30 to bring my DC into the U.S.
I'd also suggest finding a VW person near you in the U.S. that has the space to help you out, get it dropped at their place & you come get it.
I've had a few cars/Buses thru here & parts by friends in "The Great White North".....

Call the Port Huron chamber of commerce.

I have always used self-storage outfits myself.

Who accepts the delivery for you? Finding a fellow V Dubber is a good idea.

I'm 35 miles south of the Blue Water Bridge and about the same for the Ambassador Bridge. My house is only 1 1/2 miles off I-94. Let me know if I can help.

That's very generous! Thanks for the offer I'll keep it in mind.
