usaddressinc.com review
So I went ahead and had my latest purchase shipped to Niagara Falls, NY to save myself a couple hundred dollars in shipping and brokerage to Canada.
So I used usaddressinc.com as a U.S. address when I bought some wheels. They are located literally 30 seconds after the Lewiston border crossing. They were great to deal and i'd recommend them to anyone. They charge $5 per item/box (not by package). They don't really answer emails because they get hundreds of questions, so if you use them you're going to have to call them to get anything done. Obviously I couldn't avoid customs with unmounted tires and rims. Had I bought something which I could have pretended was already on the car, I would have saved the $200+ on customs too. After gas and everything, I ended up saving about $400. Take advantage of free U.S. shipping and avoid ridiculous UPS brokerage charges. Drive down to usaddressinc. They were really easy to deal with.

I use them ALL the time. I was there last weekend, in fact i'm going over again this weekend to pick up some rims. They are great. I used them last year as well to take advantage of the Discount Tire deal. I would highly recommend them to you all as well.

All they need is your name, address, and number so they can make a file for you for when your stuff starts coming in. You can either call or email them the info. When I had emailed them questions they didn't get back to me right away, but when I emailed them my info they replied quickly. They'll give you the thumbs up and then you can start sending your stuff to their address using your own name. That's all you need to do.
When you go there they ask for I.D. and give you your bill. It's $5 per item NOT package. So if you send 4 tires, it's $20 even if they're all strapped together. They will hold your items for a week at that price, but after that they charge extra like $2 per week per item. They take Canadian, but not at par ( I think it's .75 a dollar).

i wonder what kind of security/insurance they have for their facilities? i'm sure this would be a tempting target for theivery if they knew people were sending expensive car parts to it.

You're more likely to have a problem with UPS smashing/losing your boxes than anything else. Even with insurance they wont give you your money that easily, if not, a $100 cheque. I wouldn't worry about this place.

Also, they add 10% if you're paying by Canadian currency. I found this out last week when I was there.

They never checked my receipts. It's not worth getting caught though. You get a black mark on your record. You will get harassed and searched any time you try to cross the border after that.

I've never had a problem with Canadian Border Guards. They're friendly and all they care about is getting their money on crap you're bringing in. Getting into the U.S. is a different story. Everyone is a terrorist and it's like the cool kids who think everyone wants to be apart of their group. It's a million questions where half of them don't even make sense and this high and mighty cocky attitude.
