US to Canada package forwarding service?

I've wanted a service like this multiple times over the years, and it does seem to be a service that's somewhat lacking, but that's probably because there are some pretty important hurdles to overcome and will generally require trust from both parties.

I work as a shipper and frequently send packages to the US, and from a cursory glance at their website Shippsy does appear to fit the requirement here, though I can't speak to their actual service or trustworthiness (though having multiple locations in Canada probably does mean they're reasonably well established).

I'd be curious to see how they handle the actual customs clearance process. They'll need to know the nature of the goods you're having exported/imported in order to complete the necessary paperwork, but they probably keep things in relatively general terms based on your description of the product. Still, it's not always that simple since customs agents may want to know the specific composition or manufacturer of the goods being shipped. And of course, they'd need to be sure they're not moving anything illegal across the border.

All in all, I think this company is very interesting and I hope they're legit and manage to keep afloat because they offer a good service, but there are definitely risks involved in using them that could include not being able to get your goods across the border and needing to rely on them to get them returned to the store you bought them from.

P.S. I see they've deactivated their "Canada to U.S. Returns" for the time being. I imagine that happened somewhere right around tariff day since shipping into the U.S. has been kind of crazy for the past little while.

Yep, i used shippsy for a halloween costume i wanted to buy that was only available in the states. The website was convenient and legit and the process was easy. They had notifications for when it hit different stages and it all worked out just fine. The funniest part was how basic the operation was once i went to pick up(compared to the nice web interface) cause it was literally just a guy in a chair in a Richmond industrial park unit watching anime. But he was nice, quick to grab my package from the back. Genuinely, no complaints. I actually really liked using the service and it saved me twenty bucks over shipping directly to me. it was 60$ in the end, so an additional 20$ felt like it wasnt worth it till i had the shippsy option.

I ordered it at the beginning of october and it got to me max two weeks later. Plenty of time to spare and iirc there was some border shenanigans at the time too which slowed it down.
