Who lives near Canada and is willing to do a favor?

So, I'm planning on picking up some bacons this season, and I live in Ladner, in Delta BC Canada. Close to Vancouver. Wondering if anyone lives near the border who'd be willing to have some Line SFB's shipped to them. And if anyone knows a shop that would be trustworthy to mount them up?

I'm thinking of getting them shipped to somewhere near Mt Baker, so I can pick them up, get them mounted, and ski in them in the same day. If that's even possible. Then, when I come back accross the border I can legit say I went skiing on my skis, not shopping. No duty or tax that way.

This is very shaky, I might have some better ways to avoid tax than this, so it's kind of more like a feeler to see who would potentially be able to help.

Thanks
 
Thanks man. That's exactly what I was looking for. There's a place like that in Point Roberts, but it's not attached to any land with mountains, so no chance of going skiing as an excuse... Do you just show up when you think it's in and claim the package?

No need to hassle any of you guys at your houses. Why would I want to ride baker anyways? Both your signatures say it sucks. :)
 
Yea, it's pretty sweet. Give them a call to make sure it's in, then your set. I usually just parked on the Canadian side and walked across, grabbed my huge ass box, and walked back over. Or, if they're skis, you can pick them up on your way to Baker, then ditch the box, and throw them on your roof, or where ever you normally put your skis. Then you don't need to pay any duty. If they ask, tell them you won them. It's worked everytime for me so far. It definitely makes it a lot cheaper.

Oh, and yea, Baker sucks. Don't even bother. Only rain, treesharks, yeti's and more rain.
