Hi there,
I'm planning a couple of trips to NW Canada (from the UK) and need to source some gear from the US. I need to engage a Canadian Customs Broker to smooth the passage of the shipments for me.
Any recommendations or gotchas for Customs Brokers/brokerage in Vancouver area? (A huge list turns up when googled!) I've seen the odd thread that UPS brokerage is expensive, and UPS also tell me that they need to deliver the shipment to a pukka address for COD settlement, so a Poste Restante (aka General Delivery) address is no good. I need a broker that will hold the shipment for me, probably only for a few days after receipt.
Anyway, many TIA...
