Ok I admit I was hesitant in writing this review - about my mailbox service (whoa so exciting ... I…read moreknow ... please try & read on) just across the border in Merica! It's kinda like inviting your mechanic over for dinner isn't it ... ewwww! But do not judge - as they say! I'm compelled to write this due to the gratitude I have for - Mail Boxes International or MBI. You see like many Canadians & vice versa Americans, we were severely impacted by the border closure in effect since mid March 2020! Have I told you about how much I hate bats!!? S*#'! I began to wonder if I would ever be able to pick up my orders or would they be lost forever ... maybe even end up on one of those 'unclaimed items' auctions you see on TV!? 'Hey that's my 85" TV about to be sold off!' LOL. Land crossings at the border finally reopened last week. Yahoooooo!!! Cheesecake Factory - I missed you soooooo much! You see its cheaper for Canadians to set up mailboxes just across the border & receive parcels this way as a means of avoiding paying high duty! Items going through a customs inspection are charged a dreaded 'customs fee' & it ain't cheap! I am still required to declare everything I bring back to Canada to the border agents - when driving back up. But the point being - it's way cheaper this way & I save quite a bit in duty & fees! MBI stepped up big time & continued receiving my eBay orders along with everyone else that utilizes MBI shipping & mailing service. https://www.thenorthernlight.com/stories/blaine-mailbox-stores-use-creativity-as-they-wait-for-the-us-to-open-canada-border,17567 There's several hundred mailbox services right along the entire border coast to coast. https://beta.ctvnews.ca/local/british-columbia/2020/7/6/1_5013463.html I love this location near the truck crossing - with easy access to gas stations & Cost Cutter supermarket. This was part of the email MBI sent out back in 2020 to all users, when the pandemic effects started to drag on ... "We have signed a short term lease on a new warehouse just down the street from us to create more room for your parcels! This increased our storage space immensely. We're continuing to keep free storage until the border opens back up." A sign of just how much the backup of parcels was occurring! Look at the ports of most waterfront cities today - major backlog of shipping containers stuck on ships unable to dock because of labour issues brought on by the pandemic. Sorry but you might not get your Christmas present from Santa this year. I'm so ever grateful to MBI, that all my orders were well taken care of. I picked up everything I ordered over the last 20 months with no issues! Keep in mind that with each coming month a new Coronavirus variant is being discovered - which could mean even more border restrictions!!! So act now or be subject to variant #54, virus #27 & wave #95 restrictions!!! Yikes! It would be funny if it almost weren't true ... so this is the point at were you start ... crying! *Hot tip alert* - you can use WiFi here & fill in your details on the ArrivCan App just before heading to the border! Awesome! I highly recommend MBIs services! Perhaps I just might invite the staff of MBI over for dinner after all! Naaaaaahhh ... but regardless, much love to you all at MBI!!!

I have been a customer for several years. The service and more important the attitude have been…read morefirst class. Some months ago I stupidly left a parcel on the counter and it was quickly stolen by another customer. The staff was quick to review video and reveal the crime. You could not ask for more; I hope the creep found a use for his new medical test kit. All the employees have a good attitude.
