You ship to Niagara NY, they bring it across, you go grab it at Dixie and 401. Its cheap, and faster. Maybe that'd help? I got 74 slabs across with zero taxes and duties. |

| @mediaslave they stay in 'ShipToCanada' until they leave the CBCS Oakville location - no idea where they actually are....would hope they ship once a month from Dallas to Oakville and then however long to send to us...but darned..9 weeks??? When I worked in the office I would just cross the boarder on my lunch break..I could make it to US Address Inc and back in an hour (except for summer lines)...but border closed kind of ended that...also haven't been to the office in what...15 months!! May have to try that service or a similar one. |

Listed below are my orders in the system. The top order was the one I got back in March, took almost 9 weeks in ship to Canada. The received date is when I got the email that it was in Dallas. |

| I’ve yet to submit anything via the Canadian office, took a break from slabbing basically right when it was announced. As an on looker having the Canadian office has really only added confusion and wait times, has it made things cheaper or better some how that I’m missing? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by bythegram It was great before the pandemic and border closures. The max 8 weeks TAT was hit every time I submitted something. So I'll continue to use it. I only would like maybe perhaps an email from CBCS saying it has left Dallas for Oakville and not leave us in the dark for about two months. Those are my 2 cents (Converted to US, it's about 1 and a half). |

Here's the formulas that I used, if anyone was wondering.(Inside the Quotes) Column D: "=IF(H2=0,IF(C2=0,0,(NOW()-(C2+1))/7),(H2-C2)/7)" Column E: "=IF(C2=0,0,(C2-B2)/7)" Column G: "=IF(H2=0,IF(F2=0,0,(NOW()-F2)/7),(H2-F2)/7)" Column I: "=IF(H2=0,(NOW()-B2)/7,((H2-B2)/7))" Yup I'm a nerd. |

| Did these get pressed as well? So am I reading it wrong or does it say 5 months from the time you sent them for the time you got them back? | ||

| @rgreenson Does CBCS accept submissions directly from Canadian customers? Or do all Canadian submissions have to go through ShiptoCanada? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia nah..we can send them how ever we like!! I've had 2 orders that I direct shipped to Dallas and then back when the CBCS Canada location was closed at the start of this crazy stuff last year. I do like using them cause the shipping is super low compared to sending to Dallas. The no customs or brokerage is a bonus but I have a mail service in the US and have never had trouble bringing my own books back..even most purchases as long as they are under $200 they tend to let you through. Even when you get nabbed I don't mind paying cause it is still cheaper than shipping to Canada from the US (and sometimes people won't ship to Canada!) |

Quote:Originally Posted by mediaslave You read that correctly. I don't know why the shipment from Oakville to Dallas takes so long. Look at my February order it took almost 10 weeks to get a received email from Dallas. Although I did receive an email from Steve Paulus saying it was received in Oakville about a week after I sent it. I've read on other threads from CBCS people, that the TAT starts the day after you get the received email from Dallas. Long answer I know but, Yeah 5 months start to finish for my October order and that was with no pressing. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Pedigree normally not that much though...just a recent jump...hope it comes back down? Was only $12 to choose the pickup in person option though (I only live like 30 minutes away) I'll have my second shot by September and with pressing added to my order it is likely I won't see my latest order till 2022 anyway - office and border will have to be open by then yes???!!! |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia It doesn't add time, but it sure adds cost. THey ship it like anything else, and it shows up probably a day or two later than if I had shipped to the US. I ship to a border service though, so I get cheaper shipping. Shipping to Canada is insanely expensive, but thats not just CGC. Even eBay is painful. |

| Oh! forgot..the shipping to CBCS Canada is also waaaay cheaper than to Dallas. I just sent in 10 books earlier this week for $12 or $13 - delivery confirmation yesterday! |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics Hey man, I'm telling ya, check out those crossborderpickup guys. To ship my books to CGC from here was going to be 200+...using them, I shipped UPS to florida for $35....its a massive difference. If the Canadian side is the hold up, go direct and use CBP to get them back too. Could make a huge difference! |

| @mediaslave I think my geography screw me....looks like the pickup sites for crossborderpickup would be further for me to drive to than to just go across the border myself! Just need the silly border to open again!! suppose I could always have them mail it to me.....I'll wait for a normal world again...if I'm in the office for work I can cross on my lunch break or after work on the way home...and if I continue using CBCS Canada it should be just as easy and quick to drop off/pick up in person - saving time and $$..and gives me and excuse to go to Sammies Donairs in Burlington on the way home!! |
