Does anyone know anything about getting a US mailing address fairly close to the border? Ideally I’d do a couple large orders from Kingsley & Rock Shed and drive down to pick them up on a long weekend. From what I’ve seen USPS requires you to go in person to set it up which is obviously not super appealing.
I don’t think I would bother with one of those “Ship to Me” places where they give you an address at their shop but I suppose it’s no different than USPS (except they charge for accepting packages, repackong/consolidating and then again for forwarding it onto you). I’m trying to save a few bucks, buy more rocks, not give any more money to FedEx and have a reason to justify a road trip.
Help?

Don't a lot of those stores like "The UPS Store" have mailboxes you can rent...similar to USPS post office boxes?
If so, if you can find one of those close enough across the border, I can totally understand how it'd be worth it...

Yeah, I may just have to suck it up and make a trip down on my next long weekend from work. Not having much luck finding a way to set it up a mailing address online.

I'll check out Kinek. Fingers crossed.
