So I live in the Lower Mainland in Canada, and some stores I want to order from (Eg. Bikes Direct) only ship within the USA.

I heard about using TSB Shipping - I would have to drive to Pt. Roberts and pick up the bike/whatever.

How does this work? When I register, do I just use that address and # that TSB gives me to ship to? What do I do once I drive there (do I have to show them order confirmation info or something)?

Thanks

Wouldn't TSB be a better source of information?

Yeah I don't know what I was thinking... maybe I was hoping to get a faster response here.

Anyways, is it even worth it to order a bike from Bikes Direct and pick it up via TSB Shipping? It's only a 40 min drive from where I live, but I'm thinking of the conversion rate + duties...
