Cross Border Shipping

[sst3ab]

I live in BC near the US border. I know lots of people buy items online and then have a mailbox or shipping service in the States that they get their items from, saving time and money. Is it possible to take items across the border from Canada to the US for shipping via USPS?? If so, is there paperwork and/or duty that needs to be dealt with??

Thanks!!

Search for bookstotheborder, who runs a cross-border shipping service in BC. The fees are reasonable and they handle all the paperwork.
