Anybody going to sweetgrass soon?

[Thaco]

I have something i need to order from the US but cant be shipped up here, should be a smallish box, no bigger than like 4ftᶟ, Anybody going down there in the next month or so? I've got a crisp $20 for ya

[dimi]

I've got a package waiting at sweetgrass too. Snowboard jacket so it shouldnt be a big box. I'll also match the $20 above.

I'll be going to Sweetgrass March 15 2013

If anyone has any SMALL packages I might be able to bring something back with me.

If anyone needs something picked up on that date, let me know what it is and how heavy it is and I'll let you know if I can bring it back for you.

Here's another twenty bucks to a Good Samaritan who can pick up a grill for me (3' x 12" box) that weighs 3lbs.

First things first though; can anyone help with a shipping address in Sweetgrass?

Thanks,
A

The shipping addresses are on the following two websites:

Montana shipping outlet
At the border storage

Anyone going in middle of April?

Need a hitch-mounted 4-bike rack, hitch receiver, hitch ball mount, and hitch ball picked up.

Baygirl and I like road trips. Let me talk it over with her. If there are enough people wanting to pay my gas and incidentals, I can take my truck and trailer down and do a big run for everyone...

Wish I seen this sooner, just got back from sweetgrass. picked up a few sets of nitto's

How does it work when coming across the border with other people's stuff?
You obviously declare it but do you pay duty on the overage?

Also, anyone drive down to ship out of the Montana shipping outlet?
What did customs say when you said you were shipping stuff out across the border?
I sent brakes off once when driving to PHX and they were cool with that.
Just I have probably $2K-$3K worth of car parts that are too expensive to sell here with shipping.

I had no issues, with customs or duty. as long as you declare all said purchased items. there shouldn't be any issues. But I also had them shipped to a u.s p.o box. customs officer asked me why, I purchased so many tires. Just told him the truth Kal-Tire have exclusive selling rights of Nitto Tires, and there mark up is too much. I get a better deal buying bulk direct from Nitto u.s.

came to $175 u.s in duty fees, an then had my beef jerkey "confiscated"

They took the beef? Did you buy it in the USA? I bought some at the duty free one time and they bitched at me for it ....

Why would someone fill your packages with coke and then try and cross the border with them?

If someone has a u.s p.o box # USPS provides tracking numbers for any package/parcels. so you can check via you're computer or what ever need be (kinda like on eBay I guess?..) an as long as you have said items picked within 3 months, They will not get sent back to the original sender.


As for beef jerky.. said it was against meat safety standards? oh well i got to keep my vanilla coke so it was all GOOD!

Just a heads up on another option. If you travel to the states, you can usually get packages shipped to your hotel. I just had some stuff from saddleback leather shipped to Las Vegas, and the process was pretty simple. No duty or GST that way as you can use your personal exemption, which you don't get for driving to sweetgrass. Cost me about $15 instead of $60 shipping, $13 GST, $35 shipping, $80 gas and a full day of my time.

Plus then you get to go to vegas. . . . .
