We do not currently allow users to list cross border shipments; however, we do plan to add this capability in the near future. We will send out a product update email when it is available email so make sure you're on the distribution list!

90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the us border.  If possible, offer to meet the driver in a nearby town on the US side of the border.

For example, I just had a u-ship driver take a vehicle to Champlain, NY which is the closest US town to Montreal, Canada.

This setup worked perfectly for our situation.

For Vancouver, use Blaine, WA,

For Toronto, try Niagra Falls, NY etc.

I agree with this concept. I live in Champlain, New York and would be happy to act as a drop/transfer point for loads coming from or going into Canada (Montreal, PQ for example).

My farm is on Rt 276, 1/2 mile from the border. The Canadian side is Rt 223.  Being familiar with some of the snags (paperwork)..drivers could use a safe drop of point near the border while they get any paperwork (import/export requirements).

My location is convenient and a straight shot from Montreal, PQ to NYC. I could receive delivers from the US and store them until the Canadian receiver shows up? This would be a great help to the Uship drivers, and maybe an easy way for me to make a few dollars for storage?

=================================

Has there been any change in shipping quotes from and to Canada? I have about 4-6 shipments a year from Toronto (Digital Church Organs) and would be interested in this.... Toronto to Southeast States US.

Thanks!
