US Shipping Address?

I've found some garage cabinets online for less than half of what they want around here and free shipping. Go figure! Of course, they don't ship to Canada.

So, I cannot remember who's done it (search has pulled up empty results), but I recall some Albertans here ordering stuff to just short of the border on a US zip code and shipping address. May whomever is in the know, please explain to me how? A $1700 savings is worth the fuel to drive and pick up a shipment.

Thank you. Whoooohhhhh. Been just lurking for far too long again...............need the DTR drug!!

Luke (1-5-3-6-2-4) and Mike Holmen make trips semi-frequently too. I think Mike might be making a trip down there when he gets back from work, you might be able to work something out with him.

Probably will not help you much but I use a bar in Fortuna ND.
Sweetgrass probably has something similar. The bar I use is the Fed Ex Depot.
Ask what business in Sweetgrass or even Shelby has a depot for UPS, Fed Ex, DHL, etc etc

the business most commonly used is 'Montana Shipping Outlet'

they have locations in Eureka and Sweetgrass. they charge to accept a package, but is minimal and the one time charge holds your package for a year. one charge per package/box based on size/weight.

they will hold it for pickup by you or someone designated by you. they will also ship it out to you, but only via courier service. last time i checked, they will not ship USPS.

look 'em up and give 'em a call for any other questions. they seem great on the phone . . .

I sent them an email and got a reply. Pretty reasonable prices IMHO opinion. I think I'm gonna register with them and treat myself to some garage cabinets and tires. Originally it was just cabinets, but further research found some tires for $183 per.

And......................................the wife said yes.

I'm going there as soon as I get done out hear. Almost wish I was back in Wainright. I have to hang out for three days, just cause.

I'm cool with more GTG's. We had one three months ago in Red Deer. AB diesels have chin gaga jij's but that more about shiny stuff than real diesel gritty truck stuff.
