Bladerunner ...
ever thought of going over the line and getting a mail box in Blaine or something .... then when you bring stuff in like kites etc, you can pretty much avoid canada customs

I lived in Grand Forks/Midway BC area for a couple years and had a post office box just across the line in Danville WA. .... Mind you it was only 5 minutes across the border .... not the multiple hour lineups you guys see down there...

Yes, the box in Blaine option is popular here. I could use Harald's but I HATE dealing with driving over the boarder these days.

Had 1/2 hope somebody would be coming up from Bellingham or Seattle. Oregon's soccer crowd will be coming up now we have a stadium to hold them all !!

:dunno:
